The ARSI project develops an autonomous Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that allows brigades to carry out sewer inspections in a faster, safer and more efficient way. In this way, damagers and dangers that sewers can suppose, are avoid. However, sewer inspections are a notoriously difficult, time consuming and hazardous task. Inspection brigades work in darkness and high humidity, rigorously surveying the vast networks of narrow tunnels where low ceilings often cause posture-related injuries, potentially in the presence of toxic or explosive gases. In order to improve the working conditions of the sewer inspectors, avoid any work-related [...]

Creation of a smart marketplace for furniture customisation through Augmented Reality technologies and recommendation engines bases on artificial intelligence solutions and e-commerce. The project FurnIT-SAVER allow customers to visualize the products that they want to buy, make accurate 3D plans of the rooms they wish to design, recommend, customise and visualise different furniture, before visualising it in their home environment using Augmented Reality. The furniture manufacturers will upload their furniture catalogue in the FurnIT marketplace platform opening a new sales channel for their products. General information Project FurnIT-SAVER,  Smart Augmented and Virtual Reality [...]

The SCENE project develops tools that allow to capture 3D video, combine it with CGI video, handle and deliver it to either 2D or 3D platforms in both linear or interactive format. The innovations of SCENE focus on the combination of a spectrum of 2D (image) and 3D (object) representations in a single, convenient and manageable framework SCENE has made significant advances on both the scientific and technological levels, which place it close to the point of breakthrough. The concepts have been successfully demonstrated, although – as expected in an applied research project – the technology prototypes [...]

Investigation and development of new technologies with the aim to achieve novel forms of compelling entretainment at home or in public spaces, based in technologies for the capture, production, network distribution and exhibition of 3D sound and images. The project 2020 3D Media has had a notable success in creating the 3D audio technology and the company imm Sound. This company was purchased by Doulby. Several products and services based on technologies developed by the project have already reached the market, and several more in the process of being launched. General data Projecte 2020 [...]

  Advanced manufacturing technologies, personalised design, the engineering of knowledge, sustainable production technologies and anthropometry and ergonomics to demonstrate that the personalised production of eyewear can be a profitable business of close optician-user contact, in addition to being sustainable and fashionable. The Optician2020 innovations are based on medical prescription, anatomical data of customers and aesthetic preferences. Therefore, manufacturers and sellers will be able to offer unique products adapted to the specific needs and preferences of individual users with a real added value. The ophthalmic industry paradigm for 2020 will tend to the manufacture of completely customised [...]

The ICARUS project develops an unmanned search and rescue technologies for detecting, locating and rescuing humans. The objective of the team of robots is primarily gathering data. In major crisis, a primary task of fire and rescue services is the search for survivors at the site of the incident. This is a complex and dangerous task, which frequently, causes deaths among the managers of the humanitarian crisis. The introduction of unmanned rescue and search devices can speed up rescue and become a valuable tool to save human lives. The Autonomous Systems group at Eurecat was the [...]
