Description du projet
La Croatie plonge dans les réseaux sans fil sous-marins
De nouvelles technologies intelligentes se développent sous les mers. L’internet des objets sous-marins (IoUT) désigne le réseau d’objets sous-marins intelligents interconnectés. De l’exploration sous-marine à la prévention des catastrophes, l’IoUT est appelé à trouver de nombreuses applications pratiques. Dans ce contexte, le projet TEUTA, financé par l’UE, aidera H20 Robotics, une PME croate, à lancer des produits et services innovants liés à la technologie marine. Elle développe actuellement des dispositifs acoustiques légers et peu coûteux et des plateformes robotiques pour créer des réseaux sous-marins sans fil destinés à soutenir l’IoUT. Le projet contribuera au recrutement d’un associé chargé de l’innovation qui pourra faire franchir à la PME croate une nouvelle étape en matière d’innovation, et ainsi se distinguer de ses concurrents mondiaux.
Objectif
The envisaged innovation idea of the H2O robotics is the full Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) system created by lightweight, low-cost acoustic devices that link underwater network with terrestrial networks. IoUT system would provide positioning of underwater agents (e.g. sensors, vehicles, divers) and simultaneous communication between users on land and the underwater agents/things. Turning this innovative idea into an innovation project we will gradually expand our product portfolio with a new product, IoUT product, as well as expand the application portfolio of our existing products. Development of advanced technologies represents only one segment in a puzzle of turning innovation idea into commercially successful product. Insufficient in-house capacities in innovation management and business development and lack of appropriate candidates with these skills on the national labour market represent the problem and the barrier that this project will help us to overcome. Integration of the Innovation Associate into this venture will reinforce capacity of the team, multiply effect of the effort and help releasing full societal and commercial potential of the innovation idea. This project will be beneficial for both, Innovation Associate and the company. A solid scientific PhD-level background of the Associate will be deepened in the field related to innovation, his/her business-related skills will be developed and strengthen and a significant level of independence in work will be established. As a result, career stage of the Associate will be elevated to R3. H2O robotics will get an opportunity to launch new innovative products and/or services that will distinguish the SME from the competitors on the global market and get an employee (Innovation Associate) with capacities difficult to find and attract on the national labour market.
