RELATED PROJECTS
- A team of researchers from the Acoustic and Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (LEAM) in the Centre for Advanced Technologies in Mechanics (CATMech) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the development of a method that can generate and update noise maps for cities via mobile acoustic sensors.
- The Construction Research and Innovation Group (GRIC) at the UPC is driving the N2B2 project to develop new technology so that heating and air conditioning can be turned on and off via predictive control.
- Cities are responsible for 80% of global energy consumption, 70% of total waste generation and 60% of greenhouse gas emissions of the planet. For this reason, measures need to be taken to transform cities into more sustainable, circular ecosystems.
- A consortium comprised of researchers from the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI, CSIC-UPC) and the Centre for Language and Speech Technologies and Applications (TALP) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), Suara Cooperativa and Datision are participating in the development of a robot that can converse and undertake everyday and care tasks
