The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is a postgraduate research and commercial centre of Glasgow School of Art. Its intense learning and research environment exploits the interface between science, technology and the arts to explore imaginative and novel uses of advanced 3D digital visualisation and interaction technologies. Research activity at the DDS is underpinned by taught Masters programmes and a growing PhD community.
The DDS is dedicated to developing ways in which people can engage and interact with data and emerging digital visualisation systems. Learning, research, commercialisation and knowledge transfer in the DDS is not characterised by traditional subject areas but concentrates on the ways in which computer tools and interfaces can be developed for visualisation and improved human computer interaction across the arts and sciences.
BCS Glasgow: Control Software Development for Motion Stabilised Gangway (Turbine Access System).
Description changed:
Speaker: Dr Andy Clegg (ICS Ltd)
ICS Ltd are a control engineering company, but have just been involved in developing and delivering the embedded control software for a couple of impressive marine engineering projects. So whilst some of it is about the control, most of it is around the software engineering needed to make something work reliably.
ICS Ltd won Application of the Year awards from National Instruments for both of these projects, further details of which can be found here http://sine.ni.com/cs/app/doc/p/id/cs-15650.

BCS Glasgow: Controlling 70-Ton Gripper Arms for Offshore Wind Turbine Construction Using LabVIEW and CompactRIO
Description changed:
Synopsis:
The Challenge:
Creating an intuitive, reliable system to deploy, position and stow hydraulic gripper arms used in guiding steel monopiles for offshore wind farm construction.
The Solution:
Developing an integrated control system that uses an NI CompactRIO system and NI LabVIEW software to perform real-time data acquisition, monitoring and a position control algorithm.
