Project title: Flexible system for increasing the competences of technical service employees using virtual reality techniques
Beneficiary: Enea Operator
Main subcontractor: Poznań University of Technology - Poznań University of Economics consortium
Cooperation: B3D S.A.
Budget: ~ PLN 6 million
Realization time: 2019-2022
Subcontractor's team: 18 people
Project implemented in 2022!
Editing of the system and its scenarios and training scenarios will be done without coding.

The latest VR solutions were used to build the system, including goggles, gesture recognition and hand tracking, eye tracking and many more.
"Boosting the scientific excellence and innovation capacity of 3D printing methods in the pandemic period".
Project financed by the Erasmus + program.
Consortium of universities from Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia and several companies. Organization of events, seminars, webinars and the development of teaching materials for learning the techniques of 3D printing of medical devices.
The first BRIGHT summer school took place on July 19-31, 2021. The main organizer was the University of Cluj Napoca (Romania). 330 people, mostly students, from all over Europe took part in it. The team of the University of Technology had a significant share in the development of the content presented during the summer school classes.
The second summer school of BRIGHT project took place on July 18-29, 2022 in Pula, Croatia, co-organized by Juraj Dobrila University together with all project partners. It was a major success.
Boosting the scientific excellence in teaching in the field of conceiving and realizing of new types of biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with special needs– EMERALD Project Reference: 21-COP-0019 is part of The Education, Scholarships, Apprenticeships and Youth Entrepreneurship Programme – EEA Grants 2014-2021 which was funded within the key action “2021 Cooperation Projects in Higher Education Area”.
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca is Lead coordinator of the EMERALD project and the consortium is comprised by Technical Universities and SMEs partners that are coming from Norway, Romania, Poland and Slovakia. The main objective of the EMERALD project consists in providing teaching resources and methods in teaching in the field of conceiving and realizing of new types of biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with special needs.
EMERALD consists of 5 case studies - 5 biomechatronic, robotic devices for people with special needs.
Two summer schools were held in University of Agder (Grimstad, Norway), with intensive courses on biomechatronic devices development and studies.
A unique e-learning platform, made largely with virtual reality techniques, was made as part of the project.
The PoPoJutrze project implemented with EU funds and the Innovation Voucher with the Poznań Vocational Training Center.
We are developing a system for students to learn basic knowledge and skills while working with a forklift and a crane.
Design works started in 2017. Implementation: end of 2021.
Together with a team of surgeons from the Medical University of Karol Marcinkowski in Poznań, we develop pre- and intraoperative templates for reconstruction in the area of the skull.
Cooperation started in 2015, so far several dozen supported operations with the use of 3D printing.
Together with B3D S.A. we are developing a new 3D scanner for rapid measurement of patients' limbs for the design and 3D printing of orthopedic and prosthetic products.
Cooperation started in 2018, grant obtained in 2020. Currently second grant in progress.
