The Automatics and Systems Lab (LAS) develops R&D and technology transfer activities in partnership with companies, in the field of Embedded Systems, Collaborative Robotics, Internet of Bodies, Validation, Evaluation and Certification of medical devices.
We promote research, development and innovation with a focus on value creation. By working with small and medium-sized enterprises, we accelerate the development of technologies and transfer technological assets into innovative products, processes and services. In particular, we shape cutting-edge technologies into innovative solutions to solve real challenges in the fields of Health 4.0, Continuity of Care and Industry 4.0.
We highlight our knowledge and expertise in the domains of:
Increasingly investing in cutting-edge technologies as a differentiating factor in the provision of specialised services.
Our activities benefit from close collaboration with researchers from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) at the University of Coimbra and the Institute of Systems and Robotics (ISR).
Health 4.0 and Continuity of Care are the main application areas of our laboratory. Among the broad portfolio of projects, special emphasis is placed on innovative technological approaches to new products and services for this market that have been done through technology push and market pull.
In this area, LAS highlights its focus in the fields of Telemedicine, Hospital@Home and Home Care. The key activities and role of LAS in these fields are:
As a result of LAS's applied research and technological development activities and responding to market challenges (market push), Industry 4.0 is one of our areas of application.
We offer know-how through RTD services in our CETs of domain as well as facilities and hardware platforms that support companies to accelerate development processes such as fast prototyping, validation and MVP (minimum viable product).
Hardware Platforms available
