In 2017, under the innovation fund Digital News Initiative, Google funded a project of the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) in order to stimulate the innovation in the digital journalism. Less than two years later, INESC TEC developed the Augmented Video 360 – an editing and visualisation tool for 360º videos with dynamic annotations in order to improve narratives. That’s why telling stories using 360º videos is easier now.

ColRobot, as it is called, will be presented and tested next Tuesday, 22 January at 10:30 am in Porto. This is the last demonstration of a European project that had a budget of EUR 4.3 million for developing robotic solutions that could be applied to the automotive and aerospace industries. The demonstration of the robot developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) will be made in a Renault vehicle, both institutions being partners in the project that is now coming to an end.

Underwater mining is already possible. It proved to be both economically profitable and favourable for the environment. Ore mining in abandoned and flooded mines is possible due to the development of a robotic system, which is mainly composed by a 25 tonnes underwater mining vehicle, an autonomous inspection submersible and a barge to support the operation.

Broadband and low cost wireless communications in high seas for ships are already possible thanks to Portuguese technology and can create opportunities to new businesses. Let us imagine a search and rescue operation at the sea, where the land and sea teams can be in constant contact by using the most modern multimedia applications. This is just one of the examples of a possible application of the technology. The solution can also be applied to the fishing sector and to allow the exploration of businesses in offshore wind power plants and oil platforms.

We are witnessing a boom of a new economic model, commonly known as Sharing Economy or Collaborative Economy, which presents great potential from both companies and consumers. In that regard, the European Commission through the COSME programme and with the support of the Enterprise Europe Network challenged several entities that work in Europe to help companies and entrepreneurs benefit from opportunities created by the Sharing Economy through a pilot programme with a budget of € 2,000,000. The goal was to identify existing collaborative platforms and to help Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME) explore the potential of that economic model, taking into account the current regulatory environment at an European level.
