作为一个致力于研究的世界级机构,建国大学除了建立负责推动教职员开展研究活动的研究和技术转移办事处外,还建立多个研究兴趣小组。因此,建国大学成为行业领导者的出色合作伙伴;目前,学校已与Gudpoin和Yamaha建立了合作研究关系。此外,建国国际学院还是海外许多知名高等教育机构在当地的领先合作伙伴,这充分证明了建国大学在领衔研究开发上作出的广泛努力。
BINUS UNIVERSITY 与广泛的国际高等教育机构及企业有着密切合作,该校学生有广大机遇参与到国际交流,实习,及各种交换生项目的机会。另外,我们的3+1提升项目,提供本科 学生有一年的社区发展研究,项目开发,及创业孵化参与经验积累机会。项目运作主要由BINUS Global Collaboration Center, BINUS Career, BINUS Entrepreneurship Center, the Research and Technology Transfer Office, and Teach For Indonesia。
BINUS UNIVERSITY researcher, Dr Rinda Hedwig, has recently succeeded in developing an affordable smart appliance module as part of her goal of making technology accessible to the general public. The project involved designing a smart fridge which provides for more efficient ways of preserving and managing food items. The research was a collaborative effort of BINUS UNIVERSITY’s postgraduate students as well as researchers from the university’s Computer Engineering and Computer Science programmes.
Dr Hedwig’s smart module is highly cost-competitive and is derived from laser spectroscopy technology which will inform the user through specific sensors if certain food ingredients — eggs, milk, carrots, and tomatoes — are no longer available with future prototypes to include more sensors to detect a wider range of food types. Furthermore, this technology has the capacity to notify the user via text message of when to buy groceries as well as providing various recipes from ingredients available in the fridge. The smart fridge can also link to an Android phone through a mobile app and will allow the user to receive updates such as food stock in addition to downloading recipes; the module is currently in the process of obtaining a patent. As part of her long-term plans of developing a smart home, Dr Hedwig and her research team are in the process of completing other smart home appliances such as a smart food cabinet, smart bed and table, and smart drawer — the smart food cabinet will be able to connect to the smart fridge and will have built-in sensors to detect flour, sugar, cooking oil, potatoes, salt, and onions, among other food ingredients.
With current mobile devices aiding mainstream adoption of connected home technology, there is now a greater level of convenience made available for homeowners than in previous years. As such, Dr Hedwig’s research allows homeowners to manage their fridge appliances according to specific lifestyles and preferences — the module can also be customised to accommodate people who are visually impaired. Dr Hedwig’s research thus demonstrates the immense potential of Indonesia's local talents in producing affordable smart appliances from that is geared towards fulfilling the needs of the country's increasingly tech-savvy population.
