aDverse wEather eNvironmental Sensing systEm (DENSE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,
Current driver assistance systems are not all-weather capable. They offer comfort and safety in sound environmental conditions. However, in adverse weather conditions where the accident risks are highest they malfunction or even fail. Now that we are progressing towards automated cars and work machines, the requirements of fully reliable environment perception are only accentuated. The project is ...

Robust and Reliable Environment Sensing and Situation Prediction for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Automated Driving (RobustSENSE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,
Today’s driver assistance systems offer comfort and safety in sound environmental conditions. However, in harsh environment conditions – when needed most – systems stop working due to reduced sensor information quality. Targeting to the area of highly automated driving the improvement of perception, decision and planning under adverse conditions is one of the main challenges to be addressed. Robus ...

Development of biophotonic device based on flexible light emitting textile dedicated to the monitoring and treatment for dermatologic diseases and carcinoma (PHOS-ISTOS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
The therapeutic effect of the photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on a combination of parameters that include drug dose, drug-light interval, oxygen in cells and light irradiance rate. It also varies according to the wavelength distribution of the light source. Finally, a homogeneous and reproducible illumination during the clinical PDT is determinant in preventing under- or overtreatment. So, the ...

Modular CMOS Photonic Integrated Micro-Gyroscope (MERMIG)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
Space system vendors seek for solutions to deliver small size and cost-effective sensor systems to “de-congest” satellite payloads, drastically reduce the equipment cost and open the possibility for new generation of micro-payload systems. MERMIG aims to provide this technology replacing current expensive, bulky, heavy and power-consuming fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs). To address these key challen ...
