The project focuses specifically on the Coordination and the role of the Behavior Developer, including the definition of a comprehensive meta-model, compliant with the RobMoSys project one, and the implementation of specific set of tools and run-times which streamline the adoption of this models in real-world applications. MOOD2Be is a project of the team of the [...]

Jif2Land project aims to evaluate laminar flow wings technology and to reduce the amount of combustible needed and, ultimately, the environmental and footprint of air transport. The project contributed to the development of the natural laminar flow wing technology and to test the technology on an Airbus A340 aircraft for the validation of the concept; the world’s first commercial test aircraft with a laminar flow wing. The adoption of this technology on commercial aircrafts such as Airbus A340 will allow a considerable reduction in wing friction and will drop CO2 emissions up [...]

Objectives: • To promote and facilitate increased competitiveness between SMEs from the ICT industry through the adoption of advanced Software Quality Assurance methodologies and obtaining the process certification. • Regional awareness: To raise SME awareness of the need to use globally recognised models [...]

Bots2Rec project aims to introduce autonomous robots in real world scenarios for the removal of the asbestos contamination and minimize the workers exposure. The solution developed by the project consists of multiple robotic arms equipped with abrasive and aspiration tools that eliminate the asbestos autonomously. Bots2Rec also counts with a control system that allows easy task programming, the supervision of the automated process by humans and optional remote control. With Bots2Rec solution workers exposure to contaminated material is reduced to a minimum while enhancing productivity and cutting costs in protective clothing needed to perform asbestos cleaning [...]

The main objective of the HYPRINT project is to conduct industrial research on HyLEDs to be able to print by industrial methods. HyLEDs are optoelectronic devices formed by different thin printed layers that are deposited through different printing techniques. In this way, production costs will be reduced, and will be able to apply them to the production of consumer goods and different industrial sectors, such as household appliances, automobiles, pigments and inks, signalling and labelling. HYPRINT is a project started in November 2014 that will end in the first quarter of 2018. The project counts with [...]

The HATCH project creates an online reference platform dedicated to space research. It will make the findings of the European space projects available to a wide group of users, encourage greater collaboration and partnerships between the different agents of the field and generate interest in space exploration. The web portal will make the findings of the European space projects available to professionals in the field and citizens interested in space-related information. It will also encourage greater collaboration and partnerships. Additionally the portal will analyse findings, commercialise results and generate interest in space exploration and science among [...]

The STEA-PoC project has the goal to provide non-invasive and easily applied methods in clinical practice for the diagnosis an ectopic accumulation of fat in the liver, named technically of non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis (NASH). The illness, which affects from 20 to 30% of the population in the West, is asymptomatic and currently requires a hepatic biopsy to be diagnosed, an intensive and costly procedure for the healthcare system. Due to the necessity of investigating in new detection and diagnosis systems for the illness, the project STEA-PoC will develop two new technologies for the detection of the [...]

GO LACTEOS project’s main objective is to design adequate analytical techniques and methodologies to identify and quantify the different types of milk (cow, sheep and goat) used in the manufacture of mixing cheeses. The correct identification and quantification of the milk used in these cheeses guarantees transparency and legal competition among producers, at the same time that increases consumer confidence in the product. During the development of the project, variables will be investigated regarding the composition of the cheeses and the different manufacturing processes that may affect the correct quantification in the mix cheeses existing in [...]

The Multichanel Codec for 3D audio project has the objective of designing a new method for efficiently encoding/decoding (codec) and encapsulating 3D audio information stored into a proprietary file format. The new system will be built extending existing stereo free compression algorithms to multichannel in order to support 3D audio signals in ambisonics format. The project’s solution responds to the need of a convenient and well-designed format to conveniently store, distribute, and reproduce a 3D audio signal. The system will permit the compression of a 3D audio piece in a small-size files, allowing an easier broadcast [...]

Technological tools for the analysis and prevention of risks in water supply infrastructures in order to counteract cyberattacks and natural hazards, verifying the effectiveness of current practices and to propose new complementary or palliative measures in order to foresee future threats. The technologies to be used and developed by STOP-IT project include mature technologies, like public warning systems and smart locks that are improved by their combination and embedment, and novel technologies such as high-volume real-time sensor data protection via blockchain schemes or efficient water contamination detection algorithms. The STOP-IT project, founded by the European Union’s [...]

Development of a pheromone dispenser for matting disruption in vineyards using an autonomous ground robot equipped with a robotic arm. GRAPE (GroundRobot for vineyArd Monitoring and ProtEction) is an Echord++ experiment on Agricultural and Food Robotics. The project is developing the on-board intelligence, ranging from autonomous navigation algorithms to perception and manipulation. The system is able to navigate autonomously over different type of terrain in vineyards. The localization is based on the hybridization of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Positioning) and local sensors.
