In un settore, quello del vino, sempre più competitivo, gli occhi sono puntati VINBOT, (Autonomous cloud-computing vineyard robot to optimise yield management and wine quality), un robot che può offrire ai produttori europei una grande opportunità.

Futuris: VINBOT: un robot per il controllo delle vigne

In this edition of Futuris, Julián López Gómez sails to a fish farm in the west of Scotland, where around 1,000 tons of salmon are bred every year. Marine biologists think today’s European aquaculture can become more imaginative, more profitable, more efficient and more sustainable.

Futuris: A fresh splash for Aquaculture

Quel avenir pour les danses et musiques traditionnelles, les arts du spectacle, les pratiques sociales ou rituelles, bref tout ce qui fait la culture des communautés ? Pour éviter leur disparition, un projet de recherche européen mené notamment à Thessalonique en Grèce établit une base de données du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’humanité.

To bake quality bread, one of the key ingredients is moisture. Researchers have developed innovative ultrasonic humidification technology. Flour, yeast, water and salt. If the recipe is simple, the process is more complex than it seems, especially in the key stage of fermentation. Once shaped, the dough rises in rooms where temperature and humidity are closely controlled.Here in Nantes, this semi-industrial bakery is testing an innovative technology where moisture is produced thanks to ultrasound.

Futuris: Baking better bread...with ultrasound

Mais de 70 mil pessoas morreram em Bergen-Belsen durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. A forma como se transmite a memória deu um novo passo. Acompanhámos um grupo de estudantes que visitou o antigo campo. Logo à chegada, são distribuídos tablets que mostram como era a estrutura original, totalmente destruída no pós-guerra. A aplicação foi desenvolvida por um grupo de investigadores de um projeto europeu que assenta na simulação virtual e na chamada realidade aumentada. As informações recolhidas são conjugadas num suporte visual que favorece a sensação de interatividade.

Futuris: Bergen-Belsen: Explicar o inexplicável através da realidade virtual

Bergen-Belsen recreated with augmented reality. During World War Two, around 70,000 people died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. All traces of the camp were destroyed after the war, so today the area looks like an ordinary German forest. A new tablet application, however, uses geo-localisation – as well as virtual and augmented reality – to recreate the camp at various points in history.
