The SQUID is an autonomous robot system that is suspended from several cables. The robot is able to move freely and independently in all three axes by changing the cable lengths. Unlike driving or walking robots, this system is independent of the ground and very robust.
Various sensors facilitate orientation in space, as well as the localization of people and objects. The SQUID uses these sensors to react independently to a changing environment and to learn complex tasks.
This means that the SQUID can combine a broad range of active elements, such as a light source or toolholder, with the appropriate sensor technology or an intelligent controller. The system could also be controlled by means of a Smartphone App.

Crash Alerter is a newly developed mobile technology for automatic and secure accident alert and emergency messages.
Current accident alert technologies are built-in systems in up-segment trucks and cars. The Crash Alerter technology, however, is suitable for use in all types of vehicles, including motorbikes and bicycles. Previous mobile emergency message technologies were unable to provide false-safe alerts. The Crash Alerter is a novel solution that uses motion and speed data to reliably avoid false alarms. The monitoring system is activated automatically by defined movement and in that state interprets “irregular” accelerator data readings as an accident.
If the user does not cancel the alarm, Crash Alerter sends an emergency message to a pre-set address (e.g. emergency services), giving the vehicle’s current position (e. g. GPS coordinates) as well as other user-defined data.
