Enter the next level

During the first six months of 2019, we have implemented and acted on a large portion of the business plan for this year. The market is still good, so we believe that we need to continue to do investments for the future. Therefore I have chosen to summarize not all but some of the bigger investments started during Q1 or Q2 this year.

Have you seen a commercial of a train of cars traveling on a highway and keeping the same inter-vehicle distances and speeds? Yes! You think it is fun, comfortable and makes our trips easier and not nerve-racking. Guess what? It is more advantageous than what you think. Believe it or not, it can be a significant contribution to save the planet from the increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and a great deal for the economy as well! However, the latest control strategies proposed that varying the distances and speeds at hilly terrains could even save more fuel. Curious about how the control design will look like? Then you are in the right place.

Models are widely used within the field of engineering, which is highly understandable as models enable prediction of a systems behavior based on the initial state of the system. Within the field of diagnostics however, the models are used in the reversed manner, estimating the state based on the observed system behavior.

Combine has always been driven by a desire to explore new ideas and new collaborations. Therefore, we are really excited to announce that Combine will participate as AI experts in the collaborative work of building an Ocean Data Factory (ODF)!

Deep learning is not only fun it can also be a powerful tool for a large variety of problems. One of our theses investigated how deep learning algorithms can be used as an alternative to traditional control methods. They constructed a unicycle as a platform to perform the comparison on. Does it sound like a fun project? It was! Read the post for a deeper dive into the project.
