This study investigates the strategy focus of university presidents in positioning their institutions within the knowledge economies. A new conceptual model based on the Hedgehog-Fox …

How can beams from waste wood be used to create a 2D structure, using digital design and robotic production.

How lecturers in higher education handle, or curate, educational resources during course design, has become increasingly important with the growing amount of digitally available educational materials. Despite the recognition of curation in educational literature and the development of two conceptual …

Wood is an increasingly demanded renewable resource and an important raw material for construction and materials.

De scriptie beschrijft de ontwikkeling van een autonome onkruid­robot voor particuliere, verharde buitenruimten. Op basis van een eisen- en functiespecificatie werden verschillende bestrijdings­technieken afgewogen; een mechanisch borstel­principe werd gekozen vanwege effectiviteit en milieuvriendelijkheid. …

HTH together with TU Delft is creating a robot to assist housekeepers in the cleaning operation of hotel rooms. This research was commissioned to identify where in the cleaning processes it is most necessary to develop a robot.

This study presents the initial findings of a four year iterative research project. In this project nine teams of lecturers, researchers and students collaboratively (re)designed parts of their curricula. This paper focuses on the character of their multi-role collaboration in the situation, the interaction …
