This newly selected project is TRIDENT, an initiative coordinated by Thales, focused on the development of a new-generation European system for counter-battery capabilities, based on the integration of heterogeneous sensors, data fusion, decision support using artificial intelligence, and resilient fire control against emerging threats.
CATEC has made a significant contribution to this European project by developing a system comprising an autonomous drone and navigation and mapping algorithms, enabling safe inspections and the generation of real-time 3D maps that are extremely useful during tunnel construction.
Our technology center has participated in this initiative through the company Clue Technologies, and its role has focused on developing a photorealistic simulation architecture based on Unreal Engine 5 and Matlab/Simulink, which has been used to implement an AI agent to perform the task of intelligent guidance in unmanned aerial platforms for firefighting services
The initiative has concluded its development with final trials and tests carried out in France, which have validated a new advanced system for the inspection and maintenance of large infrastructures for the Oil & Gas sector through the combination of aerial robotic platforms, non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques and digital tools.
CATEC is collaborating in the organisation of “Re: Energía”, the 1st National Congress organised by EIFEDE, which will be held on 27 November in Madrid, to analyse how artificial intelligence, big data and the data economy are revolutionising the energy sector.
Last September we attended the first evaluation campaign of the AIDEDex project, Artificial Intelligence for Explosive Device Detection project, in which CATEC is participating. The event, organised by the HITDOC project and attended by different consortia, took place at the FOI facilities in Grindsjön, Sweden.
On Wednesday, November 20, CATEC will be present at the II Congress of Artificial Intelligence of Andalusia, organized by the Junta de Andalucía at the Palacio de Congresos de Granada. We are invited to participate in a panel discussion on the applications of AI in robotics area.
The general director of CATEC Joaquín Rodríguez Grau has participated in the event ‘NetCogisite24’, organized by the Official College of Industrial Technical Engineers of Seville (Cogitise); the VI edition of the largest meeting of Industrial Technical Engineering in southern Spain, which was held this year with the theme ‘Engineering, brain of Artificial Intelligence’.
