Technological capabilities
Our center offers expertise and technological capabilities in different areas of robotics, computer vision, artificial intelligence and automatic control, among others.
Broadly speaking, we can transfer knowledge in robotic systems aimed at humans (service robotics, care robotics), the design and construction of innovative robotic mechanisms (parallel robots, robotic hands, etc.) or the sensorization, navigation and control of mobile robots (autonomous driving and navigation, aerial robotics).
In addition, we have expertise in the application of computer vision algorithms (automotive, textile and service sectors), and artificial intelligence systems (manufacturing and Industry 4.0 sectors).
Finally, we can also model and design strategies for systems aimed at energy efficiency, such as hydrogen fuel cell systems and energy systems management.
