Future-focused, transdisciplinary research is imperative to making sense of our new digitalised world. Driven by technology, the digital transformation process extends beyond tools and techniques. It removes physical barriers and enhances globalisation, enabling work anywhere, anytime, on any device.
Leading by example, the Faculty’s state-of-the-art Engineering 4.0 Complex is positioning the University of Pretoria as a centre of excellence in smart transportation. Other transdisciplinary projects include the Hatfield Digital Twin City, additive manufacturing for electronic systems, and the development of smart avos and innovative alternative platforms. The four-legged robot, SmWoef, is the Faculty’s latest smart alternative platform. This robot can transport sensors into high-risk environments that are not safe or accessible for humans to collect valuable data.
These innovations illustrate EBIT’s focus on human-centred collaboration. They not only show how robots and humans can co-exist and work together but demonstrate how technology can be used to benefit humanity.
