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.

The SIMAR project, coordinated by CATEC, concludes successfully

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.
