RELATED PROJECTS
- Researchers in the Analysis and Technology of Structures and Materials (ATEM), the Geomatic Engineering (EGEO) and Construction Engineering (EC) groups, led by Rolando Chacón from the UPC Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, are taking part in ASHVIN. The aim of this project is to provide a digital platform that will be completely ready to set up digital twins. It will be interoperable with a wide range of designs and engineering applications in the construction sector
- The kick-off meeting of LogiSmile, a project co-funded by the EIT Urban Mobility, was held on 17-18 January in a hybrid format. This 2-days assembly was an opportunity for the whole consortium to meet all together and understand all the needs and requirements of the activities planned in the project. Moreover, the City mayor of the first city pilot test – Esplugues de Llobregat – also participated in the event, representing the willingness of public institutions to collaborate in this type of activity.
- A UPC team, CARNET, and its industrial partners, coordinated by the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), has designed and manufactured a prototype of an Autonomous Delivery Device (ADD), to automate last-mile logistics. The vehicle will be tested this year in various pilot tests in Esplugues de Llobregat, Hamburg (Germany) and Debrecen (Hungary).
- The ARIADNA project ended formally with an event held on 18 November at the Tomorrow Mobility Congress, organised as part of the Smart City Expo World Congress.
