This blog is designed for industrial engineering students at HELHa college in Mons (Belgium) to share various videos about their 1st Master’s multidisciplinary projects.
Join an exciting journey into a high-tech project! This video reveals the world of automated safety detection, powered by smart technology and artificial intelligence.
The claim is on identifying safety gear on construction workers. A camera at the site entrance checks if workers follow safety rules. Helmets and vests are used for safety. If they comply, they can enter; if not, an alarm sounds, shown with colors.
The video also highlights face recognition, identifying workers in the video. For privacy, faces are carefully hidden. This project’s many features are shown through colored framing, matching safety equipment.
Furthermore, Imran plans to make the project even better by possibly changing safety rules in construction. Adding long-range detection could revolutionize safety.
Don’t miss this chance to explore AI-driven safety innovation! See how technology works with safety in construction. Dive into a world where artificial intelligence enhances workplace safety.
This year, our research and development project brought us back to the early 2000’s as we worked on a Segway-like transporter.
Our work was focused around writing, implementing and testing control laws for our two-wheeled device.
Though the Segway’s production has been discontinued, it still presents a nice technical challenge. Therefore, our RnD project was to explore the advanced control techniques relevant to a non-linear, naturally unstable, multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs system.
In this video, we are going to explain the mathematical tools used in a very simple way. We are also going to present the Bluetooth terminal developed for this project.
Of course, we are going to show our Segway working. In that part of the video, we put on our cowboy hats and our best Texan accents 😉
We chose CER1 Connect as our Master 1 project, proposed by the CEREF which is the research center behind the school. This project aims to automate few sensors in order to implement the data measured by these sensors in an application called Home Assistant. This application allows us to visualize in real time that measured data, to centralize all these data in order to classify them as we wish and even to represent these data in a graphical form to make it more illustrative. We carried out several tasks during this year. One of the main tasks was to make a list of the sensors we needed to perform all the tasks we were given. We had to see the closing of the doors on Home Assistant and to be able to see the rainwater and city water consumption in real time. For the part concerning water consumption we did a theoretical study only because of the lack of time. Another main task was to be able to communicate the central computer, where Home assistant is installed, with the different sensors. To do this we used several communication protocols such as Zigbee or ModBus.

This project aims to address a critical health need in the town of Chinguetti, Mauritania. Diabetes is a disease that affects many of the town’s inhabitants, but the storage of insulin required for its treatment is hindered by the extreme climate conditions of the desert. Diabetic patients require two daily injections of insulin to maintain their blood sugar levels under control.
In this context, the HELHa School of Engineering, in collaboration with the Chinguetti Hospital, has decided to design and produce a miniature, transportable, and energy-independent cooling device. This device will be capable of maintaining two insulin ampoules at a temperature below 8°Celsius. It serves as the first step in a larger development cooperation project that aims to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of Chinguetti.
Therefore, this project stands as a tangible example of how collaboration between academic institutions and local actors can positively impact vulnerable populations. Through their collective efforts, engineering students and local actors will contribute to enhancing the living conditions of diabetic nomads and grant them access to essential care.
Welcome to our blog which aims to introduce you to our research and development project called Musculed. We are excited to share this innovative work of three students.
You’ve probably already heard or seen EMG sensors, which are patch-like sensors used by physical therapists. One of the problems of these sensors is their cost. That’s why in the Musculed project, we use infrared sensors called NIRS which reduce the cost of production and offer results just as good.
In this video, made in the style of “Konbini” video, you will see a presentation of our team, explanations on our projects and a demonstration of use.
Welcome to this video about using ultrasound to extract pectin from cocoa bean shells! We’re excited to share the innovative work of two students who have explored this extraction method.
Pectin, a natural substance found in many plants, has various uses in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, traditional extraction methods can be complex and sometimes expensive.
That’s where ultrasound comes in. Ultrasound uses high-frequency waves to break the matrix of the cocoa bean shells and release the valuable pectin. The students have designed and implemented a unique device that harnesses ultrasound for this project.
In this video, you’ll learn about the ultrasound extraction process, from preparing the samples to getting the pectin. The students will discuss their findings and results, and discuting the advantages of this innovative method.
Get ready to discover the fascinating possibilities this method offers for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Thank you for watching !
Research & Development Project Promotional video on our training bench
This project, titled “Heating Regulation Training Bench,” aims to enhance an electrical heating system by incorporating a PLC for improved control and monitoring capabilities.
The primary objective of this Master 1 research and development project is to redesign the electrical installation of a heating system, enabling the seamless integration of a PLC. The PLC will serve as the central control unit, facilitating real-time data acquisition and visualization through a user-friendly graphical interface on a PC. The collected data will be extensively analyzed to develop efficient thermal regulation strategies for the heating system.
By creating a robust heating control test bench, this project aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a reliable platform to study and optimize heating system regulation. The integration of a PLC and advanced data visualization capabilities will enable precise control, monitoring, and analysis.
Through this project, we aspire to help our client to use our project for his thermodynamics lessons.

The “Head & Shoulders” system is introduced as the key to solving this challenge. By using software and image processing, the doctor places markers on key points of the patient’s body. And behold, a miracle occurs: the system accurately calculates the head position relative to the shoulders. Join us in this comical and exciting adventure to discover how “Head & Shoulders” can revolutionize the assessment and treatment of neck posture issues. Are you ready to learn more about this innovative solution that could make a difference in health and well-being? Watch our video to see firsthand how “Head & Shoulders” works and how it can assist healthcare professionals in providing more precise and effective care.
This video talks about the realization of the theoretical study of a renewable energy didactic bench. We were lucky enough to come across a subject related to renewable energy that fits perfectly into our first year Master’s degree in Energy and Special Techniques.
The three-minute video is far too short to explain all the stages of the project’s development or even to go into the details of its implementation. Instead, it will focus on the management of the project as a group and the overall view of teamwork.
Although the video is short, the subject being particularly topical, it will be able to interest more than one that it is simply to learn or even for the future students who will take again perhaps one day this project which we started well.
So I leave you to watch the video without further delay. I hope you will enjoy it and above all don’t forget to think about renewable and sustainable energy because it is the future of our planet that depends on it.
