María de Maeztu Excellence Unit (07/2017 - 06/2021)

IRI received the María de Maeztu scientific excellence seal for the period July 2017 to June 2021. In this period, a strategic research program in human-centered robotics was developed. This is the main accreditation given by the Spanish Government to research units that stand out for the impact and international relevance of their results.

TECNIO accreditation (since 2018)

IRI received the TECNIO accreditation for the fist time in 2018 and has since renewed in 2020 and 2025. This seal is granted by the Catalan Government to recognised and differential technology providers which are involved in the tech transfer process.
