Ideas

These are some of the ideas for new projects that I have. If you are interested in collaborating on an idea, I welcome your message.

Automation

Automated Café

The idea is the automate a café as much as possible. With today’s self-serving coffee machines and electronic payment, staff in an café is not anymore necessary (except for cleaning personnel). The work would be to design optimal self-serving machines and create an ambient that is appealing to the target customer.

Autonomous Boat

Autonomous boats that roam the oceans are possible (see first autonomous ship). The idea that I have is to produce a cost-effective autonomous boat with off-the-shelf technology that can navigate the high seas.

Pasta Cooking Robot

Pasta cooking machine that automatically cooks a ready-to-eat pasta meal.

Tea Bringing Robot

This home robot should make and bring tea to any room in an apartment.

Underground Farming

Automate and make underground farming technically and financially feasible.

MedTech

Electronic Virus Detection

A cheap and easy way to detect viruses (like the Corona virus) using an electronic chip. Should be as affordable as possible.
