RELATED PROJECTS
- The question of energy efficiency in the manufacturing industry has driven the shift to a new paradigm through new efficient, smart systems. Due to increasing concerns about climate change and the transformation to sustainable systems, research trends have arisen from different perspectives to try to resolve these concerns.
- Increase the flexibility of energy demand of industrial processes to accelerate the energy transition to a more sustainable model.
- The Service and Industrial Robotics (SIR) group participates in CaRo, the aim of this project is to advance in the development of core capabilities for dual-arm co-workers robots.
- The kick-off meeting of LogiSmile, a project co-funded by the EIT Urban Mobility, was held on 17-18 January in a hybrid format. This 2-days assembly was an opportunity for the whole consortium to meet all together and understand all the needs and requirements of the activities planned in the project. Moreover, the City mayor of the first city pilot test – Esplugues de Llobregat – also participated in the event, representing the willingness of public institutions to collaborate in this type of activity.
