RELATED PROJECTS
- A team led by the Electronic and Biomedical Instrumentation (IEB) research group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is developing an electronic chip that enables more objective detection of potential infractions in race walking, which are currently judged solely by visual observation. The technology, already tested in official competitions, provides accurate, objective, and fair data on race walkers’ loss of ground contact.
- The organisation CARBOPESCA, together with the research group Development Center of Remote Acquisition and Information Processing Systems (SARTI) and the Efficient and Robust Integrated Circuits and Systems (EFRICS) group, at the UPC, are leading the iPROPEZESPADA project, an initiative aimed at optimising the capture and management of swordfish fishing using artificial intelligence.

- The Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics (LAB) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) is leading the SEAMPHONI project. It aims to transform the monitoring of marine biodiversity through the creation of an intelligent marine digital twin that will integrate innovative tools such as environmental DNA, acoustics and underwater imaging.
