Automotive Sector

  • BIOMETCRI: Circular bioeconomy in battery recycling
    The Biological Treatment of Gaseous Pollutants and Odours Group (BIOGAP) at UPC is participating in the BIOMETCRI project, which aims to implement an innovative biotechnological process to recycle batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles, recovering valuable metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, and manganese.
  • USEFUL: A car equipped with AI and optical sensors that will collect vast amounts of data for autonomous driving
    As part of the USEFUL project, the Centre for Sensor, Instrumentation and Systems Development (CD6) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has equipped a low-emission vehicle that will drive through the streets of Terrassa with optical sensors integrated into a complex system for data computing, visualisation, and storage. This car will collect and store thousands of anonymous driving data points, which will be used to develop more accurate algorithms for autonomous driving.
  • 6G-EWOC: Artificial intelligence and 6G technologies to achieve safe, more interconnected mobility
    A multidisciplinary team at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is working on the European project AI - Enhanced Fibre -Wireless Optical 6G Network in Support for Connected Mobility (6G-EWOC) to develop technologies and a 6G optical network that will combine artificial intelligence with 6G technologies, remote sensing systems and optical communication (wireless and by optical fibre). The result will be a network that will enable autonomous and human-driven vehicles to circulate safely, avoiding accidents in zones that have a lot of traffic or are very busy.
  • BEACON: Design and construction of a proof of concept of LIDAR for its use in autonomous underwater vehicles
    CD6 researchers at the UPC participate in a project to design and construct a proof of concept of a system that has laser technology and sensors to detect and map the underwater environment.
  • Deep learning and multimodal data fusion so that autonomous cars can see through fog
    Autonomous vehicles are a reality that we are getting closer to gradually but inevitably. The Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has developed technologies for this type of vehicles that improve safety on journeys. To meet the needs of perceiving the environment at long range, a very complete set of sensors has to be developed, including cameras, LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and radar.
  • SCAPE
    SCAPE: Towards standardisation, cost reduction and improved features of power conversion systems for electric vehicles
    The SCAPE project has been developed with the participation of the Power Electronics Research Group (GREP) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC). The aim is to advance towards design standardisation, cost reduction and an improvement in the features of electronic power conversion systems for the future generation of electric vehicles.
  • RHODaS: New solutions to improve the efficiency of electric propulsion systems for heavy vehicles
    The Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) centre, the Terrassa Industrial Electronics Group (TIEG) and the Environmental Engineering (ENMA) group of the UPC participate in RHODaS, a project to improve integrated motor propulsion systems for multiple drive architectures with more efficient materials, new semiconductors, better heat management and standardisation of manufacture of power convertors.
  • An electric drive system based on a hydrogen cell
    The Centre for Technological Innovation in Static Converters and Drives (CITCEA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the COVHE project, whose aim is to develop an electrical drive system for heavy vehicles based on a hydrogen cell.
  • A charge estimator to optimise the performance of lithium-ion batteries
    The aim of the GENIUS project, in which the Centre for Technological Innovation in Static Converters and Drives (CITCEA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates, is to develop a charge estimator for lithium-ion batteries based on a dynamic model parameterised by a neural network.
