It’s already possible to see humans and robots collaborating with each other in an effective way in the coating of complex and large-scale products in Portugal. Painting robots already existed, but one of their main limitations was related to their inability to paint large-scale products or those that had a complex geometry. The collaborative robotic cell developed in the European project FLEXCoating managed to overcome this limitation, promoting the cooperation between humans and robots through 3D sensors for workspace monitoring, object recognition and location, trajectory programming by demonstration, among other technologies.

A group of researchers in Portugal and USA developed a set of technologies that, among other applications, allow to monitor the vital signs and the environmental variables that professionals such as firefighters, police officers or paramedics are exposed to. For what purpose? To obtain fatigue indices, dangerous levels of exposure to heat, stress, harmful gases, among others, which can be used to protect these professionals, and thus increasing the security of the operations of these teams and improving their management on the ground in the event of natural disasters, for example.

The longevity of batteries in mobile devices is a problem for the majority of users. The interaction of users with these devices is often jeopardised by the constant concern that the battery might run out. However, this problem may cease to exist. The first catalogue of Energy Patterns, which was created in Portugal, focuses on the energy efficiency of the mobile applications and aims at improving the power consumption in computing systems.
