The Catalan company Enkitek with the technological support of Eurecat has designed a robot for monitoring fruit and vegetable crops in soilless agriculture, checking their quality and point of ripeness and harvesting them. The system adds to traditional labour operations by enhancing their productivity through the combination of various Industry 4.0 technologies such as [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has signed up to the Spanish Aerospace Technology Platform to help drive European R&D and innovation aeronautics projects with its technologies and innovations in autonomous aerial vehicles, metallic and composite materials, advanced manufacturing, printed electronics and artificial intelligence. Specifically, the technology centre is a member of the Spanish Aerospace Technology [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu have designed a desktop social robot to help paediatric palliative patients at home. It enables remote monitoring of the patient’s symptoms and streamlines communication between professionals and the family. The Jana robot consists of a structure built with 3D printing and a tablet connected [...]
This October, the second Symposium of the Centre for Omic Sciences, a joint unit of the Eurecat technology centre and Rovira i Virgili University (URV), will address the latest advances in understanding microbiota and their role in clinical studies in various fields of health, nutritional interventions and the environment with academic and industry experts. [...]
As part of the European Free4Lib project, the Eurecat technology centre has developed a demonstrator of a collaborative robotics solution for advanced dismantling and recycling of electric vehicle batteries. It is designed to improve the efficiency and safety of the process, cut operating costs, ensure the extraction of valuable materials from the batteries and [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European HYIELD project, which has been awarded a €10 million EU grant to build a demonstration plant to generate hydrogen from waste on an industrial scale and for which it will design an AI-based digital twin. The plant will be in Alcanar and involve total [...]
In October, Barcelona will gather more than thirty artificial intelligence experts at the 10th AI & Big Data Congress which is to address the scale of the impact of this technology and the challenges in its application, in particular issues including sustainability, creativity, sector applications and regulation. The event, which will be held on [...]
A study on personalised nutrition run by the Eurecat technology centre points to the potential of nutritional recommendations aimed at uniform groups of people based on their metabolic affinities to improve their eating habits and optimise their health. The study, which is part of the Preventomics project, harnesses omics analysis combined with genetics and [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has more than twenty highly specialised laboratories bringing together over 200 associated services delivering technological solutions to businesses to enable them to undertake complex industrial or innovation projects by harnessing digital, industrial, biotech and sustainability technologies and their hybridisation. To provide all the potential these resources have for the performance [...]
Parc Taulí kicked off this July a multisite clinical trial to validate artificial intelligence software that detects lung cancer in unreported chest X-rays. This tool, dubbed Optimal XR, is designed to prevent potentially malignant lung nodules, which are not currently diagnosed in time because the X-rays have not been examined by a radiologist, from [...]
