    Supsi

    Aerospace, oil&gas and power generation industries are currently affected by huge (>500 billion) costs pertaining the development and production of their products and the construction of the plants. More than 10% of such costs pertains repairing operations. 4D Hybrid will provide a new concept of hybrid additive manufacturing based on the modular integration of compact and low cost modules, aiming to drastically reduce repairing costs while performing the same certified process in different places/phases of product lifecycle.

    Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation in University of Patras

    In the era of products personalization, EU production systems need to be able to adapt in the dynamic market demand easily and fast. LMS researchers in Greece came up with the innovative idea of introducing mobile cooperating robots, capable of perceiving their environment aiming towards increasing flexibility in the manufacturing environment. They are developing novel AI tools that enable the autonomy and intelligence of robot workers. These robots navigate in the shopfloor undertaking multiple operations while identifying humans to seamlessly interact with them.

    Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg

    DIACAT is exploring a radically new technological approach to tackle of one of the greatest problems of our time: CO2 emissions. It uses diamond nanomaterials to reduce CO2 with the help of sunlight to valuable carbon compounds, which can either be used in the production of synthetic “zero-carbon” fuels or fine chemicals. DIACAT has delivered the proof-of-concept and will prepare the next steps for bringing this technology to the European market.

    Chalmers University of Technology

    In this project we want to lay the technological foundations for a topological insulator-based device that can realize the SI Ampere. An accurate charge pump that can operate at temperatures and magnetic fields achievable using affordable table-top systems would be of immediate use in the realization of the Ampere.
