Company profile:

Ingeniarius is a private SME that aims for research and technological development in the many fields of engineering, including robotics and automation, as well as all components within human society, namely the quality of life, sports and health. The company’s philosophy is to produce and commercialize new products and know-how in line with the state-of-the-art, promoting the cooperation between public institutions and private technological entities, adopting both concepts of market-pull and technology-push. Ingeniarius has been developing internet-connected solutions, wherein users interact with smart devices through browser-based applications developed using both HTML5 and WebGL technologies. These applications are hosted within the Ingeniarius Cloud platform; a scalable cloud-based architecture for efficient information sharing between the users, the browser-based applications and the smart devices, ranging from robotic platforms to wearable solutions.

Products and services:

Products

• FORTE-RC is a mobile robotic platform designed to provide a wide range of services and promote human-robot interaction. It has been designed to tackle the several challenges inherent to social robotics, with particular focus on both research and educational markets as it is fully open source: from Arduino low-level programming to ROS mid-level programming.


• DROVNI-RC is a flying robotic platform for education, research and real-world applications. It is Ingeniarius’ flying solution for both indoor and outdoor experiments. Due to the relation between its low-cost and outstanding features, this fully-featured unmanned aerial vehicle depicts a high range of applications, such as exploration, surveillance, networked robotics, remote sensing and many others.


• InPutter is an engineered golf putter designed for research, analysis and training purposes. By benefiting from an internal IMU sensor and wireless technology, it is able to retrieve the most relevant golf putting process variables, namely the putter’s trajectory over time, speed, duration and amplitude of each phase, as well as the impact force on the ball.


• FatoXtract consists on a modular full body motion capture (MOCAP) suit. By benefiting from IMU sensors, ZigBee local communication, WiFi technology, a central CPU processing unit and several controllers, it is able to track the 3D human kinematics virtually anywhere.
• TraXports was designed to contribute the most towards a thorough performance understanding of collective sports. The device is classified as a wearable solution that allows estimating players’ in-field bidimensional position and orientation, as well as heart rate, both in outdoor and indoor, and in real-time. As an internet-connected product, all data can be analysed on-the-fly using a common interface connected to the cloud.
