Santander’s Interactive Guest Assistant (SIGA) Robots were integrated in a joint interactive project with another Portuguese company. IDMind developed a fleet of indoor autonomous mobile robots that guide visitors to the Visitor’s Centre of the “Ciudad Grupo Santander”, near Madrid, Spain. Visitors to these facilities would request a robot to guide them to a meeting place, the robots worked autonomously, they self-located and moved around without colliding with any object or person using a set of sensors. IDMind was responsible for the study of requisites, for the development of the robots’ electronics and mechanical systems, and for the low-level software development.​

MAGABOT was a low-cost open-source robotics platform designed to give mobility to any portable computer (laptop on wheels concept). This was an entry level robot platform, and it targeted the edutainment market. 

Link237 was developed by IDMind, while integrated in an interactive project of YDreams for the Brazil’s Banco Bradesco. Link237, greeted and provided assistance to visitors in a branch of this Bank, called Bradesco Next, located in São Paulo’s high-end JK Iguatemi Mall.​ The robots worked autonomously, they self-locate and moved around without colliding with any object or person using a set of sensors. IDMind’s 2WD solution was customized to use as base to re-create Bradesco’s pre-existing advertisement animation character.​

FROG was an outdoor guide robot with a winning personality and behaviours to engage tourists in a fun exploration of outdoor attractions.​ This was a collaborative project under the FP7-ICT-2011.2.1 Cognitive Systems and Robotics (a), (d) area of activity. And had as partners the University of Amsterdam, IDMind, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, and the University of Twente.

Multi-Robot Cognitive Systems Operating in Hospitals project focused on social robotics using networked heterogeneous robots and sensors to interact with children, staff, and visitors, engaging in edutainment activities in the pediatric infirmary at the Portuguese Oncology Institute at Lisbon (IPOL), Portugal.​ MOnarCH was a collaborative project under FP7-ICT-2011.2.1., and the consortium was formed by five academic research institutions, two SMEs and one hospital.​

Social robot project aimed the development of an integrated robotic and ICT-based care & wellness services system to support the elderly to remain active and independent in their preferred environment, through knowledge transfer and creation of strategic synergies between the partners.​ The project  was funded within the FP7, Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP), and the consortium was formed by IDMind, University of Coimbra, Citard Services, and the University of Cyprus. 

Foxiris was developed in the scope of TOTAL’s ARGOS Challenge. IDMind integrated team FoxIris, one of the five finalists chosen by the oil company TOTAL to enter the challenge of building an Autonomous Robot for Gas & Oil Sites (ARGOS).​ FoxIris was capable of autonomous operation in a harsh industrial environments and its design was compliant with IP67 and ATEX/IECEx standards.​

Astro/Mineiro robot is a cicerone that has been placed in a miner museum, to guide people and give information. It moves around the spaces autonomously and it has human-robot interaction features that make communication easy and natural. 

13 SQUIRREL was designed to address the issue of clutter for mobile manipulation. The research was driven by a cleaning scenario where a robot navigated in a cluttered environment and collected objects to be stowed away in designated places. The developed system was evaluated over a toy problem scenario: cleaning up a child’s room. The toys were scattered on the floor represented the clutter, and their variable sizes and arrangements exhibited all the rich complexity of the real world needed to validate the project approach. At the same time, using sturdy and lightweight objects and keeping manipulation at floor level alleviated hardware requirements and allowed learning from failures.

Sewer Inspection Autonomous Robot project resulted on the development of a fully autonomous ground robot able to autonomously navigate and inspect the sewage system with a minimal human intervention, and with the possibility of manually controlling the vehicle or the sensor payload when required. ​The project was developed in the scope of the ECHORD++ (FP7 funding), the consortium was led by IDMind – that built the mobile platform -  and included also two universities.

Tabletop Social Robot was born from a collaboration between IDMind and the Honda Research Institute Japan Co. Ltd.​ HARU is a socially intelligent tabletop robot developed by the Honda Research Institute Japan in collaboration with a global network of partners. It is designed to advance the study of long-term human-robot interaction in everyday settings, including schools, hospitals, and homes.

Autonomous Robot CO-Worker had the purpose of demonstrating the usefulness of having a robot collaborating with a human operator in the execution of their daily tasks. This project was funded through the HORSE H2020, and the consortium was formed by IDMind, the University of Pablo de Olavide, and the company Robbilac. ​While IDMind developed the robot, the University of Pablo de Olavide performed validation experiments in an industrial environment, and Robbialac as the end-user partner in ARCO, hosted these experiments.​

Elmo is a tabletop solution that was developed by IDMind to be an embodiment of a telepresence or interface. It can reach a plethora ofend users – from individuals to professionals – by increasing the dynamics in remote work/collaborations; facilitating healthcare and medicalapplications; improving long-distance education and learning, long-distance family and social connections, accessibility, and inclusion; acting aspersonal assistance, home monitoring, emergency response; or just be an entertainment or companion source.​

RObot for VIrus Disinfection (ROVID) project aimed the development of a robotic solution that would serve as a disinfectant tool to be used in shared indoor spaces. This project resulted in a mobile, autonomous solution with an intelligent disinfection system capable of inactivating SARS-CoV-2 virus in indoor spaces, possible through the action of two robots: one equipped with Ultraviolet type C light system and the other with a disinfectant nebulizer system. This project was funded under P2020, FEDER, LISBOA-01-02B7-FEDER-069789.
