ENGINEERING FORGE
Independent engineering projects exploring robotics, autonomous systems, rapid prototyping and product development.
NOW
Experiments and prototypes currently being developed, tested or documented through EngineeringForge.
A tilt-rotor concept designed so the central body remains level and stable while the propulsion system controls pitch, roll and yaw through coordinated tilting.
Four independent brushless motors integrated directly into the wheels, with custom magnetic RPM sensing for traction control and other vehicle functions.
Pushing the limits of 3D printing and control in micro UAVs.
Short technical notes on system architecture, requirements, design trade-offs, prototyping, testing, failures, tools and lessons learned.
ARCHIVE
A selection of engineering work spanning independent projects, product development and academic research.
Handheld mobile laser scanner based on the Batonomous aerial SLAM solution with real-time visualization and processing.
Training simulator for the Batonomous aerial mapping solution.
Developed a modularized tilting arms system that allows individual tilting arms for simpler mechanism and scalability.
In-flight folding and unfolding drone concept showcasing shape change and custom flight control.
Developed at Inkonova AB for underground mines and other GPS-denied environments. The system used SLAM and real-time 3D LiDAR visualization in the Inkonova ground station, enabling users to 3D map inaccessible and dangerous areas with semi-autonomous features and real-time onboard processing.
Exploring compact and efficient UAV configurations using coaxial propulsion and aerodynamic vanes for control.
The World's First Drone Solution for Underground Mines and Tunnels, 3D laser scans inaccessible areas to create 3D models, with ability to navigate on ground and rocky inclines using its wheels.
Coaxial octocopter version of TILT Drone for higher speeds and payload capability without increasing its overall size.
Inkonova's hybrid drone for rugged missions that include components of land, air, wall and rough slopes.
Developed a concept and new arms and flight control algorithm where the drone body can change its inclination in-flight while still flying stable.
Pitch tilt-rotor drone product developed from the ground up at Inkonova AB, covering electronics, mechanics and flight control. Three variants were developed and sold: a fully 3D-printed version, TILT Drone and TILT Drone Pro.
Single-phase cooling system for a space telescope circumnavigating the Earth.
Reaction wheel mechanical design, control and testing for a nanosatellite platform aimed at demonstrating nanosail deployment and control in space.
ABOUT ENGINEERINGFORGE
EngineeringForge is an independent engineering notebook focused on the practical path from concept to prototype: defining the problem, making trade-offs, building, testing, failing and iterating.
The emphasis is on the engineering behind the result, not just the finished object.
