Eight technologies, with applications in health, sea, industry, energy and media areas will be presented tomorrow, 28 June at 4:20 p.m. at the Campus of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). The projects, which were developed through a funding of over EUR 12 million from the Norte 2020 programme, are now coming to an end with a public presentation of results.

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.

The European Union (EU) and South Korea awarded EUR 8.3 million to the ResponDrone project in order to develop an emergency management solution based on a fleet of drones. The goal is that the response to natural disasters will be faster, more effective and efficient. There is a Portuguese institution collaborating on this project – the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), which is responsible for the wireless communications supported by drones.

There is a new autonomous technology that allows to monitor, collect and preserve the genetic material of the aquatic microorganisms almost immediately. The goal is to use these biological samples in comprehensive studies on the diversity and composition of the planktonic communities through the use of new technologies for the analysis of their genetic material. The Portuguese researchers responsible for the development of this autonomous biosampler have recently published these developments on the scientific journal PLOS ONE.

The new laboratory focused on the Advanced Production Technologies, namely of Industry 4.0, known as iiLab (Industry and Innovation Lab), will be inaugurated on Tuesday, 28 May in the city of Porto. The new laboratory of the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) presents a set of technologies and results from R&D projects, which involved an investment of over one million Euro. iilab will be presented under the Technological Demonstrator initiative, “Tecnologias de Produção e Sistemas Ciber-fisicos” (in English Manufacturing Technologies and Cyber-physical Systems”), which was promoted by the Portuguese National Innovation Agency (ANI).
Date 23rd May 2019
To maximise the electricity production from renewable sources, to develop smart grids, to expand the integration of electric vehicles in the power grids, to exploit the flexibility of the demand and to study the regulation and functioning of electricity markets - these are some of the goals, for the next five years, of this R&D partnership that will be signed between INESC TEC and EDP Group on 24 May.

Keyruptive is a mobile wallet that stores crypto coins in a secure and convenient way. The technological solution that was created by the most recent spin-off of the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), and that has the same name as the developed technology, will be publicly presented on Thursday 23 May at 2:00 p.m. at Startup Braga’s space (Praça Conde de Agrolongo, nº 123, 4700-312 Braga).
Date 16th May 2019
InterConnect, the project under Portuguese leadership, has just been approved by the European Commission, under the Horizon 2020 programme, to develop and demonstrate advanced solutions for the digitalisation of the electricity sector.
Date 15th May 2019
“In 20/30 years, the most developed countries – and Portugal can be included in this group – will use a portfolio of generation technologies that is 100% tendentiously renewable in terms of the primary energies used such as solar, wind power, hidropower, biomass and even geothermal resources in order to satisfy the demand for power generation”, commented João Abel Peças Lopes, Associate Director of INESC TEC and Full Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). With the motto “Energy systems with 100% electrical energy resulting from renewable sources”, the debate on the energy systems of the future will begin in Porto on 29 May, the day in which it is celebrated the National Energy Day.
Date 07th May 2019
The Portuguese Robotics Open arrives at the Gondomar Multipurpose Pavilion, between 26 and 28 April. Around 500 national and international participants will participate in the robotics competitions. Around 5 000 visitors are also expected to attend the robotics competitions and the exhibition of projects developed by several robotics clubs at a national level.
Date 16th April 2019
Edgar is the name given to the two robots that are being tested at the Hospital of Braga in order to help in the distribution of meals to the hospitalised patients. The two prototypes, which were developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), are flexible and easy to adapt to the existing materials and equipment for the distribution of meals in a hospital environment.
