椅底設儲物格 港大生空中巴士創意賽奪冠

ANChan59

【明報專訊】Emily每次上飛機，前面總係有人擺好耐行李，又或者霸晒成個行李架，搞到其他人無位擺。香港有班大學生就諗到善用客機椅底位置，令乘客多咗位擺嘢。同學仔嘅設計唔單止聰明，仲攞咗法國空中巴士公司同聯合國教科文組織合辦嘅國際大型航空創意比賽「Fly Your Ideas」冠軍！


呢班讀香港大學機械工程系三年級嘅同學話，搭飛機時成日要等人放行李，咁啱團隊入面有人喺本地航空維修公司實習時，發現客機椅底下有空位，於是諗到喺座位下面整個30公升容量嘅長方形私人儲物格，增加乘客儲物空間。


隊員羅觀宇話，儲物格用防火嘅蜂窩狀物料製成，減輕重量，乘客只需按下解鎖掣後，儲物格就識自動升起，乘客可以擺放唔超過5公斤重嘅行李，格入面有塊鏡，方便觀察有無遺留物品。另一同學李建榮話儲物格仲可以拉出嚟，方便清潔。


按掣自動彈出 可放5公斤行李


呢次係第一次有香港學生喺比賽中奪冠，同學仔話決賽喺法國進行，好多資料要到間公司先拎到，得3至4日整模型，差唔多晚晚通頂。不過努力有回報，法國空中巴士公司話想進一步睇吓佢哋嘅研究，話唔定有一日飛機會有咁嘅裝置！

小女在大學讀建築，其中一環是 "crit" 。
是一個 presentation ，professor 會請外面的 architect 來聽 presentation，彈多過讚。聽說大部分 architecture program 也如是。

其實以 "比賽" 或 "功課" 來說，係可以讓人較大創作空間。
但實際上，"用家" 想要甚麼是另一回事。
設計產品，並非單單是創作，而是要合用家心水。
以往也試過，羸了建築設計比賽的作品不被採納，用了另一個。
一日未成為大師，做設計的人，要有心理準備被批評。

其實力臻完美當然好。但係今日香港尼個世代，年輕人好容易放棄，有D會hea 讀大學，有D阿媽鋪買舖買樓，唔用腦大把。

係香港講科學研究已經好奢侈，難得有班肯用功的年輕人，應該珍惜。

人地參賽作品自有評判去決定。人地都給予肯定和正面評價。

何苦再雞蛋裏挑骨頭。

評價不正面就不會到五強, 但不代表完美。大學生將要出來做事, 有更多骨頭比人挑。何況, 挑出來的骨頭未必一定啱, 正面D聽下意見無壞。

年輕人應該多支持。

乜野都彈，好煩

鼓厲多嘗試, 接受孩子失敗是必需的。但認真的比意見, 認真的「彈」係成長一部份, 尤其係大學生。

通常我想害佢的人, 或者我唔 care 的人, 我只會有讚無彈。

DreamCatchers Medtech Hackathon Hong Kong 2017 is back! The only way to do it is “TO DO IT!” Let’s spend a week to demystify the process of healthcare innovation in Hong Kong.

How can we live longer and healthier? Healthy ageing relies on quality, cost-effective preventive care, relevant personalized health knowledge and behavioral change, and improved timely access to quality “sick care”. From AI-assisted screening to precision medicine, and remote sensing to assistive robotics, innovative MedTech solutions can enhance the quality of life for the ageing population and create immense social impact.  However, innovating in health is challenging, requiring interdisciplinary teams of medical professionals, engineers, developers, and designers to tackle unmet needs.

Co-organised by the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), the DreamCatchers MedTech Hackathon Hong Kong 2017 will be led by Dr Robert Chang and team from Stanford University.

The week long hackathon is targeting students from Stanford University and Hong Kong universities, and young professionals from HKSTP to experience Stanford Biodesign methodologies, design thinking, business model canvas, and to work in interdisciplinary teams to come up with prototypes of sustainable healthcare solutions.

Theme: Enabling Medical Care Outside the Hospital

Date: June 18－25, 2017*
Venue: Hong Kong Science Park & The University of Hong Kong
Apply NOW if you have skills/training in engineering, medicine, design, software development, and/or business!

Online application: http://bit.ly/2o2rs1l

Application Deadline: 30 April, 2017

– Medical students OR current students with demonstrated maker movement skills may also apply



What to Expect ?
1.  Close Encounter with physicians and patients to explore unmet needs at a hospital setting

2.  Develop prototype on device / app / new tech / service / web service with immediate potential for clinical validation studies

In their presentation, they tried to address the safety requirement of aviation industries and also the first question from the jury to clarify the design during emergency and evacuation conditions, the jury satisfied with their answers.


They also addressed the weight, spaces, material, electrical and electronic network to solve the multiple constraints problem.



It's a four days on site competition, only four days.


*****


Unfortunately, i can't find their judging criteria, I guess may come from the following items:


Innovative idea
Technical competence
Team work
Presentation & Q&A
Possibility of commercialisation (Optional)

Example of another competition

SCORING RUBRICS & WEIGHTING

Clinical Impacts (25%)  -  Needs, Potential clinical benefits, Clinical feasibility, Business model (including regulatory issues, etc.)

Novelty (25%)  -  Major conceptual innovation vs incremental gain over existing products, Potential IP

Technical Merits (40%)  -  Technical challenges, Demonstration of technical feasibility

Presentation (10%)  -  Clarity, Captivating presentation

If we know the judging criteria, we may have different views, and more appreciation of the finalists.

Again, don't get me wrong, there are some questions and challenges and I am willing to reserve my judgment on the final product.   And of course I am proud of the HK team coming this far.

my biggest comment has nothing to do with the creativity or practicality of the design, it is the benefits (or problem statement) which received too little attention in the presentation.

They should also have limited one of the student to speak as his English even I, a local HK person, find it hard to understand. I hope it is just me.

They are going farther than other finalists, they are the champion of the competition, out of 650+ teams and 3k+ participants ......

In this type of competition, the prototypes are proof of concepts, but you are looking for perfect solutions ..... marketable at this stage ..... Even ITF funds also have different tiers for different stages of development of innovation and technology.


The last question from Air Bus is a great conclusion, are they interested to move on the project after graduation. For me, they just passed the group recruitment interview of Air Bus.

If they participate the "EK - Blow Water Innovation" competition, all participants will be shot down by our jury, no survivors.

Creativity without practicality is just fantasies.    I am not saying fantasies are not good, they are even important.

But the students were trying to develop ideas to aviation industries.

Imagine the student said they had some ideas and they did not know if they are practical, they would not have gone very far in the competition.

I agree.

I personally know a few young people that are product design or architecture students.

Engineering solutions must not exist on their own, they have to exist to address a "problem. "

If I were advising these HK students, I would tell them to do first thing first in the presentation, i.e. Articulate the Problem Statement clearly, followed by how their solution solve the problem, reiterates the benefits, then elaborate on various challenges, and leaving the details of the Journey of the solution to the last or omitting it entirely and talk about what is next.

They seem to think more space is the solution to many problems they don't need to talk about.  And that is worthy of all the trouble of retrofitting the boxes underfloor.

Even with these questions and challenges, I would give them the benefits of doubt for them to explain the benefits.   Alas, they did not make the most of the presentation.

有没有去過時装設针系的畢業展或比赛？大部份的作品不能出街，或成本極貴或用料問題等等，但創意在學生階段，都是 first concern.

creativity is the major concern and core value in this competition，commercial thinking shouldn't be in the first place my dear. all new fresh ideas would be extinguished in the cruel practical world.
