The NRT (New Robotic Telescope) is a project to design and build a 4-meter telescope within five years, which from the ORM will operate in a totally autonomous and robotic way. This form of operation will make it the largest robotic telescope in the world.

EDiFiSE - Equalized and Diffraction-limited field spectrograph experiment - is an instrument developed by IAC for tehcnological demonstration. It includes one Adaptive Optics system and one Equalized Integral Field Unit Spectrograph.

The IAC was a participant in this project to create a device capable of generating acoustic signals to carry information about space. Its aim is to create a perception of space without the aid of sight.
