At CAP we perform R&D in applied photonics, principally focusing on optical fibre technology.
We are oriented towards applied research and development in optical fibre sources, optical fibre communication, optical fibre sensors and microfabrication (thin films and integrated optics).
Our group is always looking for opportunities for technology transfer to industrial companies using its specific competencies in optoelectronics and systems integration.
INESC TEC is one of the entities involved in the project “Smart Farm 4.0: smart solutions for sustainable, predictive and autonomous agriculture”, whose main objective is the development of innovative and accessible solutions - based on industry 4.0 (Internet of Things – IoT, artificial intelligence, big data, cyber-physical systems, and autonomous robots) - for application in the agricultural sector.
