INESC TEC participated through the Trivalor stand where the project Igor, a pioneer work of Gertal and developed in partnership with INESC TEC, was demonstrated. The system that was presented consists of a mobile platform with a robotic arm, allowing the picking and transportation of trolleys.

The main focus of this project is on the transports and logistics operations, and the distribution of food, clothes, among others to hospitals. The system is capable of adapting to different environments, and it doesn’t need further alterations. It works as support in the performance of tasks, often of high physical demands, considering the ergonomics of the operator as well as achieving better solutions of the service.
