Centro tecnológico Cartif

This research area focuses it activity on carrying out research and development projects in the Robotics and Computer Vision areas.

In the Robotics areas we bring our experience both in Industrial Robotics and in Service Robotics to the execution of projects on subjects like development of transport automated systems using mobile robots, inspection and cleaning, rescue, mechatronic systems, recreational robots, and man-machine interaction systems.

It also develops and incorporates advanced man-machine interaction systems via voice recognition and computer vision (tracking of hands, gestures, faces.)

On their part, the computer vision systems make possible to fulfill the most demanding quality requirements, by facilitating inspection and control of 100% of the product. Likewise, they turn out to be the suitable option for controlling any kind of processes, and for manipulators and robots guidance.

Those are systems that quickly pay off the investment and have very reduced running costs. The Computer Vision area undertakes projects to control of industrial operations (deep drawing, injection, painting, assembling, and even firing and roasting); determine foodstuff quality (ripening, evenness, morphological defects); automated sorting, packing and palletizing; and optical 3D digitalizing for quality control, cataloguing and reverse engineering.

From our experience in this field, we have created the 3D+Colour Digitalization Laboratory for the laser measurement of any kind of element (from small pieces to big buildings.)
