TECHNOLOGY TRENDS

Digital Twins in Civil Engineering

Digital twins are a key technology in the Internet of Things (IoT), widely used in Building Information Modeling (BIM) for construction and civil engineering. These virtual models replicate physical entities, enabling real-time simulation, analysis, and prediction by processing real-world data.

Spanning the entire product lifecycle-from design and manufacturing to service-digital twins enhance model design, simulation, and decision-making. By the end of this year, over 25% of new digital twins will integrate with IoT, improving situation awareness, predictive maintenance, and production planning in industrial manufacturing and civil engineering.

With the rise of the industrial Internet, digital twins are transforming asset management, product lifecycle management, and manufacturing processes. They create a closed-loop system that synchronizes real-world data with digital models, enabling predictive simulation and visualization. Their applications extend beyond construction to various fields, from molecular modeling to space exploration.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Renewal of the construction plan following BIM digital twins in civil engineering
  • Influence of digital twins on physical equipment in construction engineering
  • Intelligent construction with digital twin visualization
  • Design and construction of digital twins supported by artificial intelligence
  • Design and construction of bridge engineering following digital twins
  • Interaction design and planning between virtual and reality-based digital twins
  • Support design of rock tunnel based on digital twins

FlexiWings: Bio-Inspired Innovation Revolutionizing Wind Energy

Throughout history, engineers have been fascinated by the remarkable efficiency and adaptability of insect wings. These intricate natural structures have evolved to provide optimal aerodynamic performance, inspiring countless innovations in science and engineering. One such breakthrough comes from physicist Vincent Cognet, who developed FlexiWings, a cutting-edge advancement in wind turbine technology.

By replicating the flexible and dynamic nature of insect wings, FlexiWings can automatically adjust their pitch angles in response to both wind and centrifugal forces. This adaptive capability allows for more efficient energy capture, resulting in an impressive 35% increase in energy production efficiency /compared to traditional wind turbine blades. Such a significant improvement could help maximize wind power potential, making renewable energy more viable and efficient.

FlexiWings: Bio-Inspired Innovation Revolutionizing Wind Energy

Given their superior adaptability, these bio-inspired wind turbine blades hold great promise as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. By enhancing energy output and efficiency, FlexiWings could play a crucial role in the global transition toward cleaner, more sustainable energy sources. As the world seeks innovative solutions to address climate change and reduce dependence on non-renewable energy, technologies inspired by nature-such as FlexiWings-could be instrumental in shaping the future of renewable energy.


RoboBees: High-Tech Pollinators for a Sustainable Future

As bee populations continue to decline due to habitat loss, pesticide exposure, climate change, and disease, the role of pollinators in maintaining global food security has become more critical than ever. To address this growing challenge, scientists and engineers have developed RoboBees-autonomous robotic drones designed to replicate the pollination behavior of bees.

RoboBees: High-Tech Pollinators for a Sustainable Futur

Equipped with GPS navigation, high-definition cameras, and artificial intelligence, these advanced drones can efficiently locate flowers, identify optimal pollination routes, and mimic the natural foraging patterns of bees. Their undersides are coated with fine horsehair-like fibers, allowing them to collect and transfer pollen grains between blossoms with remarkable precision. By enhancing pollination efficiency and boosting crop yields, RoboBees provide a promising solution for farmers facing the challenges of declining bee populations.

Beyond simply increasing food production, this technology also improves overall crop quality and promotes genetic diversity, leading to more resilient agricultural ecosystems. As global food demand continues to rise, RoboBees offer a futuristic yet practical approach to supporting sustainable farming practices, ensuring that vital crops receive the pollination they need to thrive.
