Hello everyone,

This week, we started by thinking and describing some points about how our solution be:

How will it mainly look like ? What will the main functions be ? And finally, an optional one which can open our solution to new customers.

We also started thinking about some technical specifications to assure that our functions are viable.

Christmas holidays have been a time for relaxing, preparing for the upcoming exams and also for refining our original concept of a connected pot.  New year came along with new ideas and we are now considering the possibility of integrating a small composting system into our electronic plant-care system. 

It is estimated […]

January started dynamically with internal reorganization and many people met. The reflexive activity has been triggered with the homework about 5 dimensions of the AID (All Inclusive Design) teamwork:

• User-driven and solution-driven approach
• communication roles in meetings
• meeting management
• project documentation

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a blog post. We took that time to recharge by spending quality time with our respective families during Christmas. But now, it’s time to go back to work!

We met for the first time in 2020 on January 10th. During this meeting, we reflected on our first semester of work and discussed how to make the most of our weekly meetings. We general […]

We took a break from posting over the holidays, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t hard at work. Before the break we had picked our opportunity space, and since then we’ve had our hands full. Our heads full too for that matter. Full of ideas, that is. We’ve been coming up with ideas as fast as we can, and then tearing them apart, analysing their strengths, and their weaknesses. Some […]

Hi,

“Guess who’s back? Back again” Eminem 2002

Yes, you are right, La Table team is back for a follow up on his or her (still not decided) project.

At the end of our last post, we left you with many questions. In the following paragraphs we will answer some of them with the help of researches we conducted.

Basica […]

Hi guys,
Strong start of 2020 for the team! During our last meeting, the team spent several hours talking over different solutions and designs. We ended up with the most suitable and challenging solution that we are going to present this Wednesday.
Have a nice evening and a great week!

After the Christmas break, we started brainstorming on possible solutions to our “How might we…?”
After thinking we had found the ideal solution, we had to challenge our ideas for design reasons.
This finally opened up new business opportunities for us to explore. It would also allow us to expand our market potential, while solving our problem.

Great new challenges for 2020, we are looking […]

Hi everyone,

Hope all of you have enjoyed a great Christmas break ! For our team, it was the perfect time for each of us to think about various solutions.

We have a meeting scheduled on Wednesday to put all our ideas together and make a first selection. After having made a number of conference calls, this real-life first 2020 meeting promises to be very interesting.

Have a great week every […]

Hello,

La Table team was a bit behind schedules the past few weeks. However, a lot had been going on behind the scene.

In order to fill in the gap, we will update you on what happened since the last time we posted.

Now, you know that our main focus is about noise pollution, to do so, we documented ourselves about this topic and conducted several interviews with normal people, im […]

Hi everybody,

Now that Christmas is over, our team has returned to work.

<span […]

During winter plants go to sleep and prepare for the next season, in the same way the members of the Applant team are enjoying christmas with their families and taking a well deserved break before starting working on the prototype. Apart from relaxing, Christmas holidays are also a good opportunity to get some feedback from family and friends and refine our idea before delving into the prototyping […]

Hello everyone!

After going through the opportunity spaces research and the selection of the most interesting one, we now are in an exciting part, the solution investigation.

It’s time for us to diverge and converge again and again, not only to find great ideas but also to come with the right level of complexity. We are sure that the surveys and interviews which are planned will help for this […]

Hello Everyone,

We have arrived at the end of the semester but our project continue! Indeed one of our robotic engineers have already designed a little prototype of an accelerometer. If you have followed our path until now, you should know that it will be our main sensor for the project.

We also have done a little statement of our journey and we are proud of how it has advanced. Of course, t […]

After our presentation at the MassChallenge we received very good feedback on our project. After this presentation we defined all the final requirements and functionalities that our connected object should have. We didn’t forget to implement good suggestions that we received during our presentation.

We also divided our work by our specialties and will try to learn some new skills, by helping each […]

Alright ! We pass our first milestone successfully !

We are glad that the professors liked the perspective we took. We have brainstormed, met processionnal people, done personnas and finally define our opportunity spaces. Now, we are happy of our “how might we”: How might we make the parking spots for disabled people more accessible, while preventing fraud ?

But the adventure j […]

Hi everyone!

Time flies with the semester coming to an end. It’s already time for an update from the Resourceful team.

We kicked off the week with Mass Challenge. We pitched our chosen solution in 10 minutes to a panel of experts with very different backgrounds. We are grateful for the valuable feedback we received!

During our team debrief, we went through […]

Hi everybody,

Last week, the team defined the two most relevant opportunity spaces.

In order to find something new or different, we’re now digging into those opportunities to come up with what is already available on the market. There more, we’re also studying the problematics for a better understanding of what may be needed.

In the order hand the team as established and validated their con […]

Hi everyone!

We are getting ready for Milestone 1. Next Tuesday we will present our work to our professors.

Last week was rough because we had a lot to do to prepare the meeting. We made some interviews in the field that we chose:
Transports

The interviews went well, and we found some problems to deal with.

Follow us for more detail and to know how Milestone 1 went!

Last monday, before we presented our opportunity at MassChallenge, we knew we wanted to make plants more interactive, empowering them with the ability to communicate their needs.  That green thing sitting in the corner, doing nothing except taking dust and that (once again) you forgot to water, is a living thing and, as all living things, has the ability to feel things, […]
