An artificial uterus that increases the chances of survival of extremely premature babies, an algorithm that can track down poachers to protect rainforests or a robot brain that allows drones to fly autonomously through greenhouses. Graas, who is currently working on the episodes, has been surprised several times already by the unique technologies she is visiting. Even though she is used to it, as a former member of Solar Team Eindhoven that won the World Solar Challenge in Australia in 2015.
“But technology is extremely broad,” she explains. “I used to think that engineering was mainly about smart people working on statistics in a basement. Engineering had a dull and boring image. But if this series proves anything, it is that engineering is anything but dull and boring. It is about creative and cool solutions to global issues. It is extremely interesting to see which direction everyone will take during or after the TU/e.”
