A team of researchers from the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) set the record for exploration of the world’s deepest natural cave, the “Hranice Abyss” (Czech Republic), by sending an autonomous underwater vehicle up to 450 metres. The UX-1Neo is one of the most technologically evolved underwater robots in the world, and it was developed by INESC TEC, within the scope of the UNEXUP project.

Portuguese researchers created a drone-supported communication network to address natural disasters. The technology was developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) - the only Portuguese partner of the international project ResponDrone – Situational Awareness System for First Responders. The project ended this year, and the Portuguese institute was responsible for developing the drone-supported wireless communication solution, which ensures contact between emergency teams on the ground and the command centres.

The Demo4Green project, led by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), will support eight companies in the development of innovative technologies towards reducing the industry's carbon footprint, while contributing to the green and digital transformation of the European industry. The selected companies will receive €10K to demonstrate their solution in the Teaching and Learning Factories located in eight European countries. In Portugal, the designated company will have the possibility to install the technology at iiLab – INESC TEC's Industry and Innovation Laboratory.

How to create more robust, reliable, and conscious artificial intelligence models that ensure data preservation and privacy? This is the motto of the 2022 edition of VISion Understanding and Machine Intelligence (VISUM), a summer school promoted by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC). Over a week, researchers, students, engineers, and scientists from around the world will have access to a training programme, mentoring and networking sessions, and will also be able to participate in an artificial intelligence competition.

Patients with Parkinson's disease will be able to monitor the symptoms associated with the disease and send data, in real time, to the healthcare professionals who follow them - from home, and via their mobile phones. This innovation in the health area is only possible thanks to the iHandUapp system, a mobile technology developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC); it also features a web platform that aggregates the data and provides healthcare professionals with a record of the clinical evolution of patients.

Around two million euros is the amount available for EU member-countries’ companies to develop 14 technological solutions to be applied in the European electricity sector. The initiative, launched as part of a funding programme within the scope of the largest European research project to date – InterConnect – led by INESC TEC, is open until July 26. The objective is to design interoperable prototypes that support the digitalisation of the electricity sector.

Researchers from A. Silva Matos Metalomecânica, Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), Porto’s School of Engineering (ISEP), Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) developed a system dedicated to the collection and life-support of species up to 1000 meters deep. This solution enables bringing the species to the surface without any damage caused by pressure differences and keeping them alive for further studies. The first tests will take place between April 23 and May 2, aboard the Mário Ruivo research vessel.

Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest in the world. The biopsy is the method used for its diagnosis and characterisation, and although it allows obtaining valuable information, it could lead to certain clinical issues. The LuCaS (Lung cancer screening - A non-invasive methodology for early diagnosis) project aims to make decision support systems in the characterisation of lung cancer more objective and quantitative.
