ESTAR: Low-cost self-powered wireless multisensor devices for Industry 4.0

The objective of the ESTAR project is to develop a system of completely autonomous low-cost devices that allow automatic monitoring through different sensors. The autonomy is based on the automation of the installation, energy harvesting and automatic configuration of both the network and the devices. In addition, the device will be easy to install and maintain.

The system will adapt to different use cases with different needs.

HUMAIN: Investigación de nuevas soluciones flexibles basadas en patrones de IA e IoT para una producción 5.0 más segura, eficiente y sostenible

The general goal of the HUMAIN project is the improvement of production processes through industrial research and the creation of synergies for the achievement of novel methodologies and algorithms that allow:

  • Execute complex and diverse production processes with greater precision/quality.
  • Increase time efficiency and reduce unplanned stops (predictive maintenance system).
  • Optimize the use of resources, both material and energy.
  • Improve execution quality to help reduce waste generation at increasingly earlier stages of the production process in order to promote circularity.

The task of B105 Electronic Systems Lab is research into indoor and outdoor positioning systems for Industry 5.0.

MINA-CM: Madrid Innovative Neurotech Alliance

Neurotechnologies are achieving spectacular advances both in the treatment of pathologies of the
nervous system (with the reduction of enormous social and economic costs associated with these
diseases; with disability and mortality rates of 21M disabled, 1.2M deceased per year respectively in
Europe, costs >4% of GDP) as well as in other important areas, such as empowerment and extension
of brain capacities, brain-machine and brain-brain interfaces. The applications of these technologies
are immense, from the clinical aspects related with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
neurological pathologies to the development of new computation systems, improvement of learning,
integration and connection of advanced devices with the nervous system.


The main goal of Madrid Innovative Neurotech Alliance (MINA-CM) is the innovation, development and application of advanced neurotechnological solutions in the Comunidad de Madrid.


The main objectives of MINA-CM are:
The development of multidisciplinary and interinstitutional biomedical R+D+i in neurotechnologies for
pathologies of the nervous system and improvement of brain capacities and interconnection through
physical and functional interfaces.
The attraction and incorporation of exceptional young researchers to R+D+i in neurotechnology in the Comunidad de Madrid.
The reinforcement and enhancement of the participation of the Comunidad de Madrid in international
networks and consortiums of R+D+I in neurotechnology.
The reinforcement, potentiation and integration of companies, in particular SMEs of high technology in a network of R+D+i in neurotechnology in the Comunidad de Madrid to favor international and national funding.

THOR – Building vascular networks and Blood-Brain-Barriers through a Biomimetic manufacturing Technology for the fabrication of Human tissues and Organs

Tenths of millions of people with organ failures or suffering from degenerative diseases are waiting for a novel cellular therapy or for a transplant of a donor compatible organ and the immense majority of these patients will die before receiving the tissue or organ they need. Despite the significant advances in tissue engineering, not a single artificial tissue has been used to replace a part of an organ, with the exception of simple or avascular tissues like skin or cartilage. And the main impediment is the up-to-date impossibility to engineer physiological vascular networks to provide O2 and nutrients to the artificial tissue.

THOR solves this drawback with the combination of self-assembling molecules (SAM) inspired to the Extracellular matrix (ECM) to construct solid and hollow polymeric fibers, spiderbots to create self-assembling structures (SAS) and photoactivable crosslinkers-based  functionalization of the structures using SAM proteins. THOR tissue arises from high-resolution 3D spatial positioning of SAS, angiogenic factors and relevant cell lineages, reprogrammed and expanded in a dedicated bioreactor under controlled conditions.

B105 Electronics Systems Lab is in charge of the design and implementation of the spiderbots, as well as the integration with the rest of the technologies.
