The objective is to improve their quality of life and delay the decline of their physical condition. The team in charge of developing the project is made up of a multi-disciplinary consortium which together gathers all the scientific knowledge necessary in the field of engineering and medicine to design a paediatric exoskeleton that may be used as an alternative to physiotherapy in children with serious neuromuscular diseases. General details Project EXORAPI [...]

The ILUMINIO project intends to set the foundations for the industrialization of a new generation of intelligent aluminium profiles. ILUMINIO aims to demonstrate the viability of functional printing on rigid, metallic substrates such as aluminium. ILUMINIO’s solution for digital printing on aluminium will provide aluminium profiles with new integrated functionalities. At the same time, the printing process can be industrialized and is compatible with the production structure of companies specialized in the manufacture of Tecalum aluminium products, giving them a competitive advantage to launch unique products on the market. General details Project ILUMINIO Project reference [...]

The expansion of tropical diseases such as dengue, malaria, and more recently, Zika, is becoming a continuous growing global problem according to all the world health associations and departments. One of the main vectors in the transmission of these diseases on a worldwide scale are mosquito bites. The primary aim of the RETOS Microrep project is to develop intelligent microcapsules that include mosquito repellent and fragrances to prevent the spread of tropical diseases. These microcapsules are applied to fabrics, and emit controlled amounts which vary according to temperature changes. In addition to developing the microcapsules, research will be done [...]

The objective of the Interacciona project is to design and manufacture intelligent labels powered by NFC technology. These labels are designed for use on wine and liquor bottles. They can be controlled through a mobile app and integrate active functions such as temperature and humidity sensors, and electro-lighting components. Additionally, Interacciona is developing an electronic control and feeding circuit for the labels designed for large-scale distribution. The labels would contain the active functions required by each customer and can be personalized for any occasion. A pilot test will be performed during the project in which two types of labels [...]

The objective of the ENCODER INNOVATION project is the development of a new generation of intelligent, flexible, customisable, robust, water-tight encoders for food production environments, primarily based on a new, increased-precision photonic nucleus embedded in plastic, an innovative, embedded, wireless monitoring and communication solution, and an optimised cover, which is guaranteed to be water-tight. Consortium formed by: HOHNER and Eurecat. General data Project ENCODER INNOVATION: New generation of encoders, technological innovation and change in the business model.

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.
