RELATED PROJECTS
- A research team from the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (IRI, CSIC-UPC), together with the Centre de Disseny d'Equips Industrials (CDEI) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), are participating in the national CASANDRA project to develop a digital manufacturing solution that will make it possible to establish a bidirectional data flow for continuous digital integration throughout the supply chain across the product life cycle. This integration will be achieved through digital twins and data-based models that are continuously updated thanks to distributed monitoring and control tools.
- The research groups Structural and Materials Technology (ATEM) and the Construction Engineering (EC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) are working on the RE-STEEL project, which aims to develop an efficient methodology for assessing the rehabilitation of existing steel structures.
- The AgroTech research group at UPC, in collaboration with its spin-off Ugiat Technologies, has developed uPlayer, a new multimedia player concept that enables more intuitive video navigation and viewing, intelligently enhancing the user experience, especially on YouTube and other platforms, by integrating as a plugin or advanced player.
- The AgroTech research group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), together with its spin-off Ugiat Technologies, have driven DoblAI, an AI platform that integrates transcription, translation, subtitling and video dubbing into a single workflow. The solution, which uses deep learning technology and cloned or default voice models, is specifically designed for the journalism and communications sector.
