The Eurecat technology centre has developed a new automated system for dismantling and sorting electric vehicle battery components using collaborative robotics and artificial intelligence systems to simplify recycling at the end of their useful life with a view to cutting processing costs and times, ensuring worker safety and achieving utmost efficiency and sustainability. The [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is developing several technologies to drive innovation in food, such as a new automated digester which will enable the food industry to analyse the digestibility and nutritional quality of new protein sources. The digester simulates the human digestive system and allows in vitro laboratory testing of the digestibility and protein [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Shift2Zero project which is investing its over €12 million budget to develop innovative new designs and functionalities for commercial e-vehicles to meet urban logistics needs, cut emissions and improve operational efficiency. The project brings together leading players from across the logistics and automotive value chain “to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European FlexCrash project which has developed an online platform for simulating mixed traffic scenarios with autonomous and human-driven vehicles in real time to help identify critical situations and improve road safety. The FlexCrash platform enables interaction between human drivers and autonomous vehicles in realistic simulations and provides [...]
Aniol Bosch, a researcher at the Eurecat technology centre and PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Girona (UdG), has been awarded one of three grants offered by the Daniel Bravo Andreu Private Foundation for short-term biomedical research stays at leading centres abroad. This will enable him to spend six months at [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has successfully tested new technologies to recover strategic raw materials including lithium, nickel and cobalt from various kinds of waste and by-products to help secure their supply, avert the environmental impact of their mining and support decarbonising by means of the circular economy. Critical raw materials (CRM) “are crucial to [...]
The CTIC, Eurecat and ITG technology centres today presented in Madrid the results of the last two years of joint research under the Cervera ARQA Network of Excellence which demonstrate quantum computing’s potential for solving complex tasks such as satellite image analysis and sorting, energy distribution optimisation and image generation to detect fraud. “Our [...]
The TurisTIC Forum, the conference on innovation and the application of technology to the tourism industry organised by the Eurecat technology centre, today picked out innovative experiences in culinary and wine tourism which foster the new paradigm of regenerative tourism by activating relationships between visitors and local communities to generate shared value and restore [...]
Eurecat Innova, the joint technology innovation and development unit run by the Eurecat technology centre and the Ricardo Valle Institute of Innovation Foundation (Innova IRV), has appointed Verónica Ramírez del Valle, PhD in Science from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), as its new director as part of its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions [...]
The Eurecat Congress brought together leading experts and stakeholders in artificial intelligence and quantum computing to discuss how these disruptive technologies will usher in a “new digital era” as the event’s panel discussion was entitled. They looked at the impact these technologies may have on society, businesses and public institutions and how they can [...]
