VI2F project kicks off
Neosepec and INESC TEC begin 36 months of research towards a flexible feeder with intelligent vision.
The VI2F – Vision-Intelligent Flexible Feeder project started on 1 July 2026, led by Neosepec in co-promotion with INESC TEC and co-funded by COMPETE 2030 through the European Regional Development Fund.
The goal is to develop an automatic feeder able to handle complex-shaped, fragile or flexible parts, with no physical reconfiguration between references, combining machine vision, artificial intelligence and robotics.
In the first six months, the consortium defines the operation concepts and use cases, gathers the operational requirements and characterises the target markets, with the collaboration of four manufacturers from different sectors, partners in validating the solution.
