RELATED PROJECTS
- The Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) Research Group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the OPTIMA project, which aims to design and develop a high-efficiency, fully integrated bifacial photovoltaic system. This system is engineered for optimal performance and adaptability, particularly for installation on flat rooftops of buildings with high energy demands, such as commercial and industrial facilities.
- The UPCxels project, led by the Intelligent Data sciEnce and Artificial Intelligence Research Group (IDEAI-UPC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), aims to create an open, cross-sectoral platform for a shared data space across multiple fields, with a special focus on the agri-food sector.
- A multidisciplinary research team led by the Intelligent Data sciEnce and Artificial Intelligence Research Group (IDEAI-UPC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the Agrixels project, which aims to create an agricultural information standard—essentially, a data ecosystem—designed for AI-based services in the agri-food sector.
- The Food Safety and Control Research Center (CRESCA) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), in collaboration with the Aquamaris Foundation, has developed a system that allows irrigation using seawater without the need for filtration, desalination, or chemical treatment, both in agriculture and gardening. The new system enables the adaptation of ornamental garden plants and leafy vegetable crops, eliminating the need for fresh water entirely.
