SANTTU - To reduce stress from machine & operator

The SANTTU project focuses on the development of systems for operators of work machines and heavy industrial machines. This can be used to reduce the cognitive stress on the operator as well as the stress on the machine, thus extending machine life, availability, and productivity.

AITOC - Artificial Intelligence supported Tool Chain in Manufacturing Engineering

The goal of the AITOC project is to develop an integrated toolchain for manufacturing engineering that supports making earlier decisions. The toolchain will support the formalization and automated analysis of requirements; the computer-aided generation of process plans, simulation models, and instructions; and the software-supported generation of layouts.
