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 BIP-UPy project (bioactive polymers based on ureido-pyrimidinone) aims to develop new bioactive polymers for a new generation of biomedical implants. The project develops novel biomedical implants capable of providing specific bioactivities, biodegradable and mechanical efficiency according to its clinical application. The new implants are developed with bioactive polymers based on ureido-pyrimidinone capable of providing specific bioactivities according to the required properties of the implants. It is expected that the biomaterials developed may be easily transferred to other biomedical applications relating to implantable devices. In the first stage, the implants developed in this project  will improve the quality of [...]

Consortium formed by: HOHNER and Eurecat. General data Project ENCODER INNOVATION: New generation of encoders, technological innovation and change in the business model. Project reference RTC-2015-4457-2 Programme and call for proposals Project financed by the Ministry of Economy [...]

Robots are being highly used nowadays for goods transportation in warehouses and logistic scenarios. In some of them, such as in the aeronautic industry, the weight of the components require powerful AGVs to accomplish the task. Moreover the dimension of some components require more than one robot to carry out the task, such as, for example, the transportation of an airplane wing. Current commercial solutions accomplish this by mechanically attaching two robots. However, this somehow limits the size of the object that can be transported. In GEOMOVE project, we have gone beyond the state of the art to develop a wireless cooperative transportation [...]

MAIC project has developed a collaborative industrial mobile manipulator capable of adapting itself, in a multi-functional way, to an industrial production environment with the mission of assisting the operators in manipulating items of various weights and shapes. The objectives of the project give response to SEAT COMPONENTS’ need to introduce ergonomic improvements to various jobs (especially those which require repetitive, manual manipulation of items of considerable weight). MAIC improves plant productivity, as it facilitates an increase in the flow of materials between different processing and production stations. The flexibility of the robot poses a major advantage as it [...]

The general objective of the Robotrack project is the development of a new, economically and environmentally sustainable continuous track concept, designed especially to establish an innovative set-up process, completely automated through a new robotic system. This general objective responds to a strategic need of the current Spanish railway productive model, which greatly depends on the foreign market, by creating a new production chain, increasing competitiveness and improving industry exportation. Consortium formed by: VIAS, Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya, CEMOSA, Polytechnic University of Valencia and Eurecat. General data Project ROBOTRACK – Robotisation of set-up systems for a [...]

ChefMySelf project main goal is to develop a customizable and extensible (ICT) service ecosystem built around an automatic cooking solution to support older people in preparing meals and maintaining healthy eating habits. A food processor with an accessible interface, specially tailored for the elderly, will encourage them to self-care, accordingly to their particular nutrition requirements, and a social network focused on the topic of healthy aging and eating, will become a tool to motivate them to be active and maintaining existing social relationships and creating new ones. ChefMySelf will support elderly in developing culturally appropriate guidelines [...]

PREMIA will develop a system that allows for the combination of next generation sensory devices and platforms, focusing on the need to keep the cost of these devices down in order to have widespread market penetration. The user becomes the focus of the solution: while the artificial intelligence provides advanced data analysis to achieve greater energy-saving impacts, it also attempts to promote the active role of the user in achieving a lasting change in consumption habits through the completion of challenges and incentives. It is a collaborative project financed by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness [...]

The main objective of UNIKO is an innovative social research assistance platform that allows for increased research efficiency, providing the researchers with a tool that facilitates the search for and processing of entry data, covering all possible sources: from other research projects to direct feedback from the people that make up society in general or the research community. One of the most important aspects of the project is the development of a new, more extensive, information search system that will allow for the identification of not only bibliographic sources, but also other data sources that analyse relationships [...]

The objective of the OTBio Identity project is to develop an online biometric authentication system for critical security level applications as in the case of online voting. Within this project, the consortium, made up of Eurecat and SCYTL SECURE ELECTRONIC VOTING S.A., will create a user-authentication solution based on biometric, multi-factoral technology (with a mobile device being an essential element), as well as voter verification and identification in remote, electronic voting, providing citizens with access to the electoral processes and thereby improving the democratisation of public bodies and their communication with citizens. General data Project OTBio Identity. [...]

The main objective of the GERAR project is the development and evaluation of innovative, integrated health services for patients with rare illnesses, supported by intelligent ICT and network solutions. The use case of patients with PAH AND CTEPH will be considered as a starting point and the results will undergo in-depth analysis in order to adapt the proposed solution to another four, rare, pneumological and neurological illnesses: diffuse interstitial pulmonary disease (DIPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS). The resulting GERAR platform will improve clinical management and quality of life for patients [...]
