Beijing Design Week 2014 - Monash Univeristy Industrial Design

ICSID President Dr Brandon Gien featured the award winning environmental design project MARS by Monash University Industrial Design graduate Alex Goad during his presentation at Beijing Design Week 2014.

The MARS - Modular Artificial Reef Structure has been designed to help mitigate the growing effects of modern human activity on our marine environments. Unprecedented population growth is putting increased pressure on our oceans, not only because of climate change and pollution, but also because of destructive fishing practices, increased water runoff and dredging. Our irreplaceable coral reefs are some of the most bio-diverse and uniquely fragile eco-systems on the planet, and consequently suffer the quickest and most drastically from this human expansion.

MARS is a modular artificial reef structure that can be implanted by divers and tailored to suit the geographical layout of the ocean floor. The MARS units have been designed specifically for coral transplanting, which can quickly help re-grow damaged coral reef areas. The structure can also help to increase the biomass of an area with or without existing reef features. Based on over three years of independent research into suitable materials, MARS is designed to maximise the potential for sustaining ocean environments.

Designed in China - Autonomous logistics robot

Monash graduates deliver innovation in China.

Master of Industrial Design student Guo Feng - James designs a working prototype and smart phone app for an autonomous logistics robot. The growth of e-commerce and online purchases in China has led to an explosion in the delivery of small parcels direct to the individual.  

The autonomous logistics robot takes delivery at reception from the courier and then navigates internally in a building to your location.

ITIDLab - Microsoft Research Asia (MRSA)

Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) announced recently that the ITIDLab has been awarded funding for the project "Intelligent Sustainable Navigation Services (ISUNS): To Enhance Eco-Efficiency for Urban Transportation by Adopting Clouds and Pervasive Computing Technologies"


ITIDLab - Microsoft Research Asia (MRSA)

The research lead by Dr Stephen Jia Wang (Director, ITIDLab, Monash University) and Prof. Ying-Qing Xu (Co-Director, ITIDLab, Tsinghua University) will begin in 2014.

The ITIDLab proposal is one of only nine to have been selected for funding in 2013. Sixty submissions were received in the Asian region from more than thirty colleges and universities.

The International Tangible Interaction Design Lab (ITIDLab) is a partnership between Monash University, Tsinghua University (China) and Tokyo Zokei University (Japan) initiated in 2010. The main focus of this international-scaled collaboration is to explore design-based applications and investigate how new technologies will inform and contribute to design practice, research and education in each country.
