How to get from point A to point B in a typical town? Everyone who has answered the question using a car knows personally the problems with parking and permanent traffic jams. These are only some of the issues of today’s urban transport.

At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Brno University of Technology a unique design for an ice resurfacer has been developed. The designer Ing. Róbert Machálek, a postgraduate at the Institute of Machine and Industrial Design, worked on his project under the professional supervision of academic sculptor Ladislav Křenek.

Ing. Radim Nečas, Ph.D. and Ing. Ivana Švaříčková, Ph.D. of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at BUT have created a didactic tool in the form of a bridges construction kit. While enjoying making a model of a bridge, the aim is to teach the basic principles of structural behaviour and how it might be influenced. Thanks to its simplicity, the construction kit can be used to support technical thinking and develop fine motor skills in even the youngest children.

Researchers Doc. Tomáš Březina, CSc. and Ing. Zdeněk Florian, CSc. of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Brno University of Technology have developed a unique device for mechanically testing the functional elements of human body and a way to manufacture the device. The device was developed based on cooperation with the healthcare industry to solve specific clinical problems. 

In cooperation with the Technology Transfer Office, which provided a draft contract and settled all administrative matters, we have managed to sell the licence for HYPERFIT software to interested entities in both the commercial and academic spheres. Thus the software has found its way e.g. to the USA, Columbia and Germany.
