A virtual reality system to allow people with cerebral palsy to draw


Researchers from the University of Jaén participate in the FUNdación PERsonas (FUNPER) project.


Researchers from the University of Jaén are participating in the FUNdación PERsonas (FUNPER) project, in which a rehabilitation system has been designed for patients with cerebral palsy in the upper limbs, based on virtual reality and artificial intelligence techniques. Professor Cristóbal J. Carmona and Professor Pedro González, from the SIMIDAT research group (Intelligent Systems and Data Mining) of the UJA, have collaborated in this project of the ‘ITCL Technology Centre’ and the ‘Fundación Personas’, which has received one of the Artificial Intelligence Awards during the seventh edition of the AMETIC Artificial Intelligence Summit 2024, a benchmark event for Artificial Intelligence in Spain.

The regional government has invested a total of 17 million euros in the development of this project, located in the municipality of Moguer (Huelva), both in the construction works and in the transfer of the land of the ‘El Arenosillo’ Experimentation Centre (CEDEA).

The Minister José Carlos Gómez Villamandos reaffirmed this week in the Parliamentary Commission the ‘commitment’ of the Junta to this project, which has materialised not only through financial support, but also in the streamlining of the administrative procedures necessary for the regularisation of the CEDEA land.
This scientific-technical infrastructure will be used to test and certify medium and large unmanned aircraft, something unique in Europe for this type of vehicle, and is promoted by the Andalusian Regional Government and the Ministry of Defence, through INTA. The agreement signed in June 2022 by both administrations for the execution and management of the infrastructure entrusted the parties to define the formula for the management, financing and operation of the CEUS. The agreed path will allow for co-management that must be reflected in the composition and functioning of the governing bodies.

The CEUS consists of a series of facilities, including a 2,000-metre-long asphalted test track and another taxiway perpendicular to the main road, which will serve as a connection to a parking apron. In addition to this, there will be two hangars and a building dedicated to supporting the facilities, among others. ‘The emergence of the CEUS in the drone industry will consolidate Andalusia's leadership in this booming, innovative sector, which is set to become the main pillar of the aeronautical business of the future,’ stressed the University Minister.
