The Swedish Embedded Award was presented for the sixteenth time this year. This year's three award categories are:<\/p>\n Business<\/strong> for the best contribution from Swedish companies<\/p>\n Student<\/strong> for the best contribution from students at Swedish universities<\/p>\n IoT <\/strong>for best contribution with IoT content<\/p>\n In the Business category<\/strong> (Category Enterprise) two winners were chosen this year:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Integrum AB with development partner Chalmers with the contribution "The Artificial Limb Controller, ALC".<\/strong><\/p>\n New technology makes it possible to connect an electronically controlled prosthesis directly to bones, nerves and muscles. Enhanced-OPRA (e-OPRA) is today the most advanced osseo-neuromuscular interface and with the help of digital signal processing it is possible to take the step from today's analog interface to a digital one. This increases the control possibilities dramatically. ALC is developed to be compatible with existing analog prostheses and has up to 16 control channels. e-OPRA in combination with ALC is today the only prosthetic solution that enables tactile sensory feedback for long-term daily use in the home.<\/p>\n The jury's winning verse:<\/p>\n With Artificial Limbs Controller and<\/p>\n Neonode AB with the contribution "zForceAIR Sensor Module".<\/strong><\/p>\n Neonodes\u00ae sensor modules can be used as touch sensors or for completely contactless sensing of gestures in the air as well as various types of static and dynamic objects. Neonodes sensor modules consist of a number of VCSEL (Laser) and detector chips as well as adaptation logic, system ASIC and an ARM M4 microprocessor in chip form, which are precision assembled together with optical lens modules in a very compact unit, manufactured in Sweden. The modules are ideal for integration within a wide range of applications in e.g. the automotive, consumer electronics, medtech and robotics markets.<\/p>\n The jury's winning verse:<\/p>\n Invisible control panels like science fiction In the Student category <\/strong>(Category Student) the prize consists of a scholarship of 50,000 SEK. This year's winner:<\/strong><\/p>\n Sandra Pantzare and Elin Wollert from Link\u00f6ping University, with the contribution "Smarthorse Lab".<\/strong><\/p>\n The most common injury in horses today is injuries related to lameness, usually caused by a minor injury not being discovered in time.<\/p>\n The idea behind this product is to capture a horse's movement patterns by measuring forces under the horse's hooves. This is done using printed electronics and wireless communication, where sensors and electronics are implemented in a sole that is placed between the horse's hoof and shoe. The sensor is attached under a horse's hoof for about 6\u20138 weeks.<\/p>\n The sensors communicate with an external device that collects all data and saves it in a cloud where further signal processing and data analysis takes place.<\/p>\n The jury's winning verse:<\/p>\n A racing horse you must protect In the IoT category <\/strong>(Category Internet of Things) won Yu Liu, Kahin Akram Hassan, Adan Rohdin and Karim Samim<\/strong> from Link\u00f6ping University with the contribution "Digitalization of Green Plant Wall".<\/strong><\/p>\n A \u201dgreen plant wall\u201d is a vertical wall where different types of green plants can grow. The system consists of a medium for the plants, irrigation, lighting and ventilation. The wall provides an improved indoor climate and is primarily intended for public spaces.<\/p>\n By automating the system, the need for maintenance is reduced and the goal is for the solution to be reliable, easy to use and inexpensive.<\/p>\n Sensors and control systems communicate via the cloud and use Microsoft's Azure services.<\/p>\n The jury's winning verse:<\/p>\n To have your garden indoors on a wall About the Swedish Embedded Award<\/strong><\/p>\n The award is established to stimulate and encourage creative applications of embedded technology, which in turn contributes to creating new and better solutions in a number of similar areas.<\/p>\n The designs span everything from industrial applications to communications and medical electronics. The requirement is that the contributions must contain built-in intelligence and be commercially interesting.<\/p>\n About Embedded Conference Scandinavia: www.embeddedconference.se<\/a><\/p>\n Behind the Swedish Embedded Award stands:<\/p>\n * The Swedish Electronics Industry Organization \u2013 with the Embedded Technology section * The magazine Electronics in the Nordics
