Safety requirements for children's products are basically divided into two fundamental aspects: Mechanical-physical, and labelling and chemical requirements.

Designing play areas that are both safe for and attractive to children requires participatory and multidisciplinary processes that are yielding increasingly innovative proposals whose evaluation is more and more complex, taking into account the risk they represent versus the benefits they offer to children.

The main objective of this project is to develop low-cost robots for use in the automation of manufacturing processes in the toy sector, dedicated to the manufacture of thermoformed plastic parts by means of blowing and/or rotomoulding processes, or in other similar sectors.

As a consequence of the current state of the markets, manufacturing companies are increasingly demanding the development of products or parts with innovative functionalities and/or properties such as the incorporation of natural additives and fillers, biodegradable and/or environmentally sustainable materials, and the addition of fillers to obtain conductive materials, among others. Metallic materials have also been used.

The objective of the SMARTH2PEM project is to develop a low power (1KW) and, from the cost point of view, competitive PEM electrolyser able to generate highly pure (99.99%) hydrogen at high pressure (>15 Bar). The aim of this project is to contribute to the establishment of the hydrogen economy.
