South Africa's manufacturing sector, particularly in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics, requires high-precision measurement tools. The proposed Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) addresses this need by offering enhanced accuracy and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional

In the coarse particle transportation industry, there are major challenges in pumping mineral suspensions due to water scarcity. As a result, more solids are transported and pipe blockages occur which cause major problems such as environmental spillages and economic losses (pipe replacement, wastage

Toxi Trail™ is an educational board game developed at Stellenbosch University to strengthen toxicology knowledge and clinical reasoning among healthcare professionals. Building on earlier game-based learning tools, the design incorporates realistic toxicology scenarios, variable difficulty levels

A scalable pneumatic cushion features an array of pressure-controlled air cells, each equipped with a pressure sensor for closed-loop control. This allows for precise regulation of pressure in high-risk areas, promoting blood flow and reducing localized pressure. The system uses a microcontroller to

ImmerseCell is a virtual reality experience (VLE) to teach undergraduate and postgraduate students about key cellular structures with an interactive, narrated, guided experience (Figure 1, Figure 2). The team utilised real-world microscopy data of various key cellular structures in the mammalian

This technology makes it possible to grow tiny, three-dimensional (3D) pieces of human heart tissue, called cardiac spheroids. It models the functions of a real heart and recreates key features of cardiometabolic disease such as insulin resistance and high fat levels. What makes this technology a

A cadaver dissection table that consists of a long tray designed to hold a cadaver. The tray has openings for fluid drainage and an angled section at one end. The table also has ventilation holes angled toward the flat part of the tray where the cadaver rests. Below the tray is a long bath, and

The technology comprises an integrated passive acoustic monitoring system capable of long-term monitoring, capturing high-quality, distinctive sonar sounds from aquatic environments. The acoustic monitoring system, incorporating a hydrophone, a micro-processing board and a mechanical release system

A novel bioreactor system that uses membranes to create a compartmentalised system whereby two or more species can be co-cultured without mixing of species, while ensuring rapid exchange of metabolites and proteins between compartments and shared medium composition. The system operates continuously

The CREDO (CartRidge Extractor DiagnOsis) Device is a device designed to safely and sterilely remove fluid remaining after assay completion from used cartridges (this used cartridge would otherwise be discarded). This fluid can be useful for downstream applications (these downstream tests could be

The humanoid robotics development company technology provides a modular humanoid robotic system designed for use in manufacturing, research, education, healthcare, hospitality, security and surveillance. The modular design makes the humanoid robot easily upgradeable and customisable for various

The device is a user-guided robot which holds and maneuvers a laparoscope, to assist surgeons in minimal access surgery. It can maneuver the laparoscope with five degrees of freedom, namely pitch, yaw, translation, image rotation, and roll of the telescope.
