Engineering is FUN!!! We just tested our mobile manipulator prototype at ActiveSpace Automation headquarters. It’s basically a Kassow Cobot on top of a ActiveSpace AGV1, a Barret Hand and a remote application that enables the user to ask the system to pick and place parts. Check videos bellow. The system was designed, modeled and simulated […]

Devoloping systems for the paper imdustry is a real challenge. In fact, handling paper for packaging, labeling or wrapping poses all sort of difficulties. The link bellow reports a few robotic syatems, an related publications, we developed for the paper industry. Enjoy them.
A Siemens Porto (Freixieiro, Maia) comemorou os seus 25 anos no dia 9 de Julho de 2019. Para além disso, inaugurou vários centros de co-criação, em áreas como o i4.0, a segurança, etc. Foi muito interessante assistir ao seu rodmap, mas também rever muitos dos amigos da Siemens e de empresas associadas à Siemens. Parabéns […]
Este programa foi gravado durante da apresentação do livro “Controlo e Automação Industrial – Indústria 4.0” que se realizou no dia 16 de Maio, na livraria Bertrand (Centro Comercial ALMA em Coimbra). O “E se…” é um Programa de J. Norberto Pires, para o Coimbra Canal, com a realização de Rijo Madeira. Este episódio, pela […]
We developed several systems and technologies to be applied to dentistry systems, namely to study dental implants and optimize its placement. This work was fully tested and results are very interesting. See videos and papers HERE.
I started with this park in the summer of 2007, when the project was basically an idea. Under my administration, we prepared all the projects, obtained the necessary funds and kick-started the construction. We also designed all the communication plan and made the first agreements with companies that choose iParque to be their location. We […]
We’ve designed several applications and systems for the cutlery industry, namely during the M.Sc. thesis of Gabriel Afonso done in cooperation with the partner company IVO Cutlery. His outstanding work in this area was planned to proceed for a Ph.D. project. Since he passed away I never wanted to work in this area again, although […]
Following the demonstration of a TCP/IP client-server app to command a Kassow Cobot, the following app uses those servers to implement a SPEECH INTERFACE. The demonstration can be seen in the following link:
New generation cobots are getting space in modern industrial applications, namely when humans and machines must operate closely. We are exploring several outstanding machines to be able to design advanced applications for the new industry 4.0 reality. Check out bellow a VIDEO about an APP designed to operate with the new Kassow Cobot (equipped with […]
I just updated the MEDIA section with videos about our efforts in the ceramic industry, glass industry, Cutlery industry, Anoto applications for welding, jnpDrone developments and jnpHAND developments. Check them out HERE.
Check here our latest developments using mixed reality for industrial robot programming and path visualization. In the future, programming should be visual and completely accessible to non-specialists in programming and in robotics, because the collaborative work will be more efficient and attractive. J. Norberto Pires
Check here some of the projects I’ve done in industry, to work better and be more efficient, to teach, to demonstrate principles and also to have FUN (don’t forget to have fun, it’s really important)! Because, no matter what you do, what is your motivation, engineering is really a lot of FUN! The one I’m […]

In a paper just published online for earlycite, an extensive effort to reasearch and build an architecture designed to control robot manipulators used with additive manufacturing applications is reported. The study, conducted at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Coimbra by a team led by J. Norberto Pires, which also includes the […]
In this presentation, for the 2019 edition of the University of Coimbra Summer School, we’ll make a demonstration on how to design parts using a 3D CAD package and how to prepare them to be 3D-Printed. We’ll also print a small part (example) to show the effectiveness of the process. Finally, we’ll use several already […]
