RELATED PROJECTS
- The Agricultural Machinery Unit (UMA) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participated in the CULTISENSOR project to design, manufacture and validate a sensing subsoiler prototype for soil decompaction. This instrument allows mapping and interpretation of the physical conditions of soil when fieldwork activities are being carried out.
- The Paper Engineering research group (CELBIOTECH) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in a project to develop biodegradable materials from cellulose, to transform them into advanced, eco-friendly bioproducts.
- The Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the development of a smart assistant device that, by combining building information modelling (BIM) with augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, provides a comprehensive tool at each stage of the construction life cycle.
- The LENA project emerged with the aim of creating continuous learning algorithms in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) that are robust and flexible. This project is led by the Mobile Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Group (RAIG) from the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI, CSIC-UPC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC). LENA is focused on developing innovative technologies that overcome the current limitations in AI algorithms that, once trained, tend to show a certain degree of rigidity in the face of new, unexpected situations.
