RELATED PROJECTS
- A research team led by the Mobile Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Group (RAIG) of the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI, CSIC-UPC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is taking part in the European project TRIFFID (auTonomous Robotic aId For increasing FIrst responDers efficiency). The aim is to develop a platform to support rescue operations in emergency situations. The initiative combines advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and immersive interfaces to enhance safety and accelerate response in hazardous environments.
- A team from the Environment Centre Laboratory (LCMA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is taking part in a study commissioned by the city councils of la Llagosta, Mollet and Santa Perpètua (in Vallès Occidental), with the main objective of identifying the impact of industrial plants on the generation of unpleasant odours and continuously monitoring air quality in these municipalities.
- Researchers from the Concrete Sustainability and Smart Structures (C3S) research group, part of the Construction Engineering (EC) group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), are leading the CIRC-BOOST project, which aims to promote sustainability, industrial competitiveness and greater resource efficiency in the European construction sector.
- A research team involving the Barcelona Innovative Transportation (BIT), inLab FIB, CARNET Barcelona – Future Mobility Research Hub (CER-AMA), and the Department of Computer Architecture (DAC) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is driving the i-MovE project, which aims to incorporate multisectoral data to provide much more accurate and valuable information for the mobility sector. The project develops four use cases focused on both companies and mobility authorities, covering public and individual transport, using the UPCxels demonstrator.
