2013: a successful year for UdiGital.edu

UdiGital.edu vol convertir-se en un referent en la difusió de la tecnologia i el coneixement científic, i en un centre on experimentar tècniques d’innovació educativa que promoguin el talent i la innovació, sempre a través d’activitats que estimulin el pensament creatiu i la consciència crítica. La idea és apropar la recerca de la Universitat a tota la societat, i en especial als joves, per tal que aquests tinguin en el futur la capacitat de generar noves idees, nous projectes, i que liderin els canvis tecnològics, socials i culturals que els tocarà viure. Aquest passat 2013 ha estat un èxit per…

ViCOROB: fem 20 anys!

El grup de recerca ViCOROB, format per una seixantena de persones, treballa en projectes d’interès científic, empresarial i social. Les seves activitats es desenvolupen a l’Escola Politècnica Superior (EPS) i al Parc Científic i Tecnològic de la UdG. Va ser fundat el 1993 pel doctor Joan Batlle “amb molt poc finançament”, asseguren els actuals responsables, i amb el suport de Xevi Cufí i Joan Martí, que ara són professors de la institució. Durant aquests vint anys, la trajectòria del grup ha evolucionat exponencialment i s’ha dotat d’un prestigi dins i fora de la UdG. El 2012 van ingressar 1,2 milions…

Alstom transporte and ViCOROB: partners again

ViCOROB and ALSTOM transporte keep on working together on a new project related to the 3D inspection of trains, using laser technologies. The main goal of the project is to be able to get tridimensional information of the high-speed trains in order to be able to inspect in real time the trains. It is necessary that the System is flexible enough as to be able to tune it in the future for further uses. The System should be modular and scalable to introduce, if necessary, new cameras and lasers according to the costumer requirements. The actual configuration includes 22 Photonfocus...

New Project: EUROFLEETS2

Furthermore, EUROFLEETS2 will undertake specific actions to consolidate research fleets’ organization, methodology and tools through operational initiatives (like virtual fleets) leading to more interoperable and cost effective European research fleets.   We are mainly involved in WorkPackage 12: Innovative technologies For Hydrid and Autonomous Underwater Systems. This work package aims to develop key technologies and innovative functions for underwater systems such as new Hybrid ROVs (HROVs). HROVs are already under development within the consortium between IFREMER and MARUM in another project, in link with the exploitation of the EUROFLEETS1 results (3D HDTV smart camera and smart optical electronics). Our main...
