MIRONINS develops a new platform that allows augmented and interactive reality experiences to create a new digital environment within the Joan Miró Foundation, in which the Mironins, a few small drops of paint that live inside Miró’s paintings, help children to introduce themselves in the art world and to boost their artistic abilities while having fun. The innovation promoted [...]

Increase of the circularity of spent batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles and development of new identification protocols to give a new use for second-life batteries. The RECIBIL project promotes and increases the circularity of spent batteries from hybrid and electric vehicles and develops new identification protocols for second-life batteries, with life cycle analyzes. The project aims to help the different decision-maker agents (car manufacturers, second-life battery users, recycling companies, etc.), in the end-of-life management process of the electric vehicle fleet that is expected to be deployed at European and global level in the coming years, [...]

Improvement of shaping systems for the deposition of semi-molten materials, applicable mainly to plastic, metallic or mixed materials (plastic, metallic, ceramic and inorganic). The FUSE3D project develops new technologies for the deposition of semi-molten material with the aim to improve the adhesion between layers of material and increasing its strength, combining different materials when printing to obtain different surfaces and be able to create geometries with more height. The innovation promoted by the project allows to carry out studies, characterisations and optimisations of printing materials and processes. Moreover, the definition of the mechanical properties of the [...]

Development of advanced monitoring algorithms, with the challenge of working with complex, large, heterogeneous and interdependent systems, incorporating aspects such as energy efficiency, environmental impact and security with high resolution, from the data provided by new sensors and actuators. The Smart Factory project is based on the modelling and optimal operation of machinery and industrial processes, with the aim of increasing the flexibility and adaptation of monitoring and control systems, improving energy efficiency in industry and promoting fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of industrial plants (health aware control). Thus, the project focuses on three main lines [...]

Creation of an innovative audiovisual production and consumption system focused on a new form of audiovisual narration based on omnidirectional video. The ViVIM project develops a new audiovisual format based on omnidirectional video that offers end users a coherent audiovisual experience on virtual reality devices, tablets and traditional televisions. ViVIM includes production tools for immersive screens, support for omnidirectional cameras and access to content in a synchronised way, both using virtual reality devices (head mounted displays, HMDs), tablets and conventional television. The viability of this model is raised through 2 demonstrators, one focused on deferred production [...]

Innovative models and tools for recommending audiovisual and editorial content to improve the users experience. The PICAE project develops new models and analytical tools for recommending audiovisual and editorial content with the aim of improving the user experience, based on their profile and environment, and the level of satisfaction and loyalty. These new tools represent a qualitative improvement in the state of the art of television and editorial content recommendation. On the other hand, the project also improves the digital consumption index of these contents based on the identification of products that these new forms of [...]
