INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON WEARABLE ROBOTICS AND WEARRACON EUROPE International Conference on neurorehabilitation

The 5th International Symposium on Wearable Robotics and WearRAcon Europe will be held through a revolutionary virtual platform from October 13 to 16, 2020.

Researchers, experts, manufacturers and end users from all over the world will be able to meet one more year to share their latest innovations and participate in workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions in a different way.

The event consists of two congresses in parallel, the International Symposium on Wearable Robotics and WearRAcon Europe, with an industrial focus, and the International Conference on Neurorehabilitation, with a medical focus. The organising committee, in which CSIC, CTAG, WEARRACON EUROPE, NRG and AbilityLab participate, considers that in such an exceptional situation as the one we are experiencing, in which technology plays a crucial role, it is important to enhance the reach of this type of events and keep the debate around scientific and technological advances open, in this case in the field of robotics and neuroscience and their application in the medical and industrial sectors.

In addition, the event will feature a specific conference on the automotive sector which will take place at CTAG. This edition aims to give greater emphasis and presence to the automotive sector, reinforcing the impact on Industry 4.0, promoting processes automation and reinforcing the technology that facilitates ergonomics in the workplace.

If you are interested in participating in the event, you will find more information in this presentation.

Important dates:
Papers submission – up to 14 August

CTAG will develop new robotic solutions for manual tasks within the TRAINMAN-MAGOS Project

Posted on 10 July, 202027 September, 2021 by desarrollo

Although the use of industrial robotics in the automotive industry is mainstream, there are still parts of the production process which need human intervention, especially in manipulating fragile parts or while assembling components which demand increased dexterity. These manual tasks increase the production time and reduce the flexibility of the production line and the quality of the end product. TRAINMAN-MAGOS aims to deal with this challenge by providing a novel, agile and flexible solution.

CTAG, together with the Greek company Quanta and Qualia, will develop an innovative solution that will make it possible to optimize the robotic programming of complex trajectories carried out by the hand of the operator. It will also improve ergonomics by eliminating operations with high muscle loads due to complex movements.

This demonstrator is part of a sub-project that has indirectly received funding from the European Unions H2020 research and innovation programme via an Open Call issued and executed under project TRINITY (grant agreement No 825196)

More than 1,500 researchers from CTAG and TECNALIA will work together on the mobility of the future

Posted on 9 June, 2020 by desarrollo

The two leading technology centres in Spain have reached an agreement to offer their joint expertise and face the challenges of advanced manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and robotics in the mobility sector. These are the Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia (CTAG) and the research and technological development centre TECNALIA, which have sealed their collaboration with the virtually formalised signature of an agreement between Óscar Fernández Besteiro, president of CTAG, and Emiliano López Atxurra, president of TECNALIA.

The objective of the collaboration in which more than 1,500 researchers from both centres will work together, is to propose comprehensive services to complement the offer and capacities of the companies in the sector. To do so, CTAG and TECNALIA will offer companies new solutions and results through R&D and Innovation projects in the fields of mobility and advanced manufacturing, as well as activities that foster the creation of new technology-based companies. They will also be able to share the state-of-the-art facilities at each centre and move forward together in the provision of advanced services.

It is worth highlighting the following initiatives: first of all, as a result of the knowledge and experience of both centres in the field of robotics and exoskeletons, new solutions to improve the ergonomic conditions of operators will be developed. Secondly, new developments for the automation of special vehicles in different environments, such as ports, airports and industrial estates will be enhanced. They will also implement a joint strategy for the development of the electric car and its components, among others.

Furthermore, through this collaboration, both organisations will strengthen and increase their talent volume in areas of specialisation, such as the automotive industry, manufacturing or digitalisation, becoming a national and European benchmark in these areas.

Announcement

Posted on 5 April, 202017 April, 2020 by desarrollo

At CTAG we continue to adopt all the preventive measures recommended by the health authorities for the protection of our staff, collaborators and clients.

During the health emergency declared at the beginning of March, CTAG launched a prevention plan for the containment of COVID19 which is being adapted to cope with an exceptional and highly changing situation.

Following the entry into force of RD 10/2020 of March 29 on the new measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the prohibition in Spain to perform any non-essential activities with effect from 03/30, CTAG has suspended the activities that require physical presence of personnel at its facilities until further notice. We will continue to follow the evolution of the situation, adopting the appropriate measures with the aim of resuming the normal activity of the Centre as soon as possible.

Much of CTAG’s staff is operational working from home, offering the best possible service in these circumstances and collaborating with our clients.

Finally, from CTAG we would like to thank our staff for the enormous efforts deployed during these days, the efficiency in the management of the emergency and the collaboration in various solidarity initiatives aimed at the fight against the coronavirus, such as the production of personal protective equipment, mechanical ventilators and splitters.

We are at your disposal for any question you may have and we send you our best wishes.
