Mind Foundry: developing AI tools for EV chargepoint location decision making
We worked with Mind Foundry to develop innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tools to plan electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint networks.
Deciding on the most appropriate locations for EV infrastructure involves the analysis and consideration of a wide range of datasets and factors, for example the location of households without off-street parking, the location of existing EV charging facilities, and demographics of the local area. Find out what we did to solve this challenge.
Enhancing occupational therapy with robotic technology in Oxfordshire
A pioneering initiative to improve the understanding of touch in occupational therapy through the use of advanced robotic technology.
Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) have been working on a range of applications for their technology. They were particularly interested in exploring the feasibility of utilising robots with touch sensitivity within adult social care, for tasks such as moving and handling.
