RELATED PROJECTS
- The Visualisation, Virtual Reality and Graphic Interaction Research Group (ViRVIG) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates in the CLIPE project under the MSCA-ITN call, which has developed technologies to provide virtual characters in immersive VR/AR environments with natural behaviour and interaction between virtual characters, making them more human and realistic, with potential applications in industry, video games, training and simulation.
- The BIOsignal Analysis for Rehabilitation and Therapy (BIOART) research group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) coordinates the Proactive Response and Efficient Planning with AI for Resilient Emergencies in hospitals (PREPARE) project, which aims to optimise hospital preparedness during emergencies through dynamic capacity and risk assessment using artificial intelligence (AI).
- A research team from the inLab FIB at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), together with the Asociación de Personas con Movilidad Reducida (AsoPMR), has taken part in the Spot4Dis project to enhance the mobility and autonomy of people with reduced mobility.
- The Barcelona Innovative Transportation (BIT), the Research Center in Automotive and Advanced Mobility (CER-AMA) and The Future Mobility Research Hub (CARNET) research groups from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) are participating in the E-MED project, which aims to optimise energy and resource efficiency in public transport systems by addressing energy price fluctuations through smart and participatory solutions across the Mediterranean region.
