Reconfigurable ROS-based Resilient Reasoning Robotic Cooperating Systems (R5-COP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
European manufacturing industry faces increasing product variances resulting as a consequence of frequent innovation, short product lifecycles, small series production, and shrinking production cycles. At the same time, production cost must be continuously reduced.Agile, transformable and re-usable automation and robotics is be a key enabler to manage those trends. However, few robotic components ...

The Electric Vehicle revOLUTION enabled by advanced materials highly hybridized into lightweight components for easy integration and dismantling providing a reduced life cycle cost logic (EVOLUTION)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Hybrid-EVs and Full-EVs on the market are products where the Internal-Combustion-Engine (ICE) is supplemented by an electric-motor (HEV) or replaced by an all-electric power-train (FEV). Neither approach address lightweight or modularity inheriting the same disadvantages as conventional ICEV - Electrification of mobility must face a conceptual rEVOLUTION! This project breaks the paradigm of curren ...

A stealth attack tool for preventing clinical drug resistance through a unique self-regenerating surface (BACATTACK)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Outbreaks of clinical infections affect many thousands of patients in Europe yearly. The present effective treatment for infections is large doses of systemically applied drugs. There is a high risk of recurring infections and biofilm formation for patients dependent on long term in-dwelling catheters and the extended dependency on antibiotics result in clinical drug resistance. We present a new t ...

Hygienic and Energy Optimized Conveyor Belt for the Slaughtering Industry (HYCON)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
"The HYCON proposal aims at developing a hygienic and energy optimized conveying system with a validated automated cleaning procedure. This wil significantly increase conveyor hygiene in the foodstuff sector and especially so in the meat- and poultry-industry. The hygienic goals will be achived by designing the system based in hygienic design guidelines and by developing a new, superior belt mater ...

Nanostructured Toughened Hybrid Nanocomposites for High Performance Applications (NANOTOUGH)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
Motivation: Nanocomposites are emerging new materials that promise improved properties. Their applicability, however, is presently limited by the cost of manufacture and product reproducibility. Literature shows that on the bench scale, dramatic improvement in polyolefin mechanical properties can be obtained by intercalation and exfoliation of nanoparticles in the matrix. However, when materials p ...
