Highlights

One of this year’s main highlights was the presentation of a quadruped industrial robot, adapted by first-year Mechanical Engineering students.

One of the highlights of the day was the visit to the three laboratories created within the scope of the project: the Marco Garetti Lab, the BRIEL, and the HumanTech Data Hub. This visit offered members of the Scientific Committee the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the infrastructure supporting research activities.

The project, titled UNIQUE – University Network for Industrial Quality, Automation, Ecology and Excellence, focuses on advanced doctoral training in the fields of industrial quality, automation, and sustainability, involving an international consortium that brings together academic institutions and industry partners.

Duarte Dinis, professor at DEMI and researcher at UNIDEMI, undertook an international mobility program at the Università degli Studi di Bergamo (UNIBG), Italy, under the FCT Mobility funding promoted by FCT.IP.

Throughout the event, three undergraduate programmes were presented, with particular emphasis on the new Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering, which attracted significant interest from participants.

The session featured two professionals from Quadrante: Engineer Gaspar Miranda, Client Manager in the Digital Twins Business Service area, and Engineer Miguel Graça, Project Manager in the Industry Business Unit.
