The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), through the Innovation and Technology Centre (CIT-UPC) had once again its own stand at the Mobile World Congress (MWC). The 2024 edition was hosted in the Gran Via venue of the Fira de Barcelona from 26 to 29 February. At its stand, the University showcased its technological capabilities and some of the projects and solutions developed in the fields of smart connectivity, mobility and industry, including 5G and mobile technology security.
Some of the projects exhibited during the event include:
Improving mobility and industrial processes
In addition to these solutions, other UPC-branded technologies were unveiled at this edition of the MWC. In the field of mobility, the 6G-EWOC project was presented. It aims to create a 6G optical network for connected mobility enabling autonomous driving with high safety levels in the future thanks to a comprehensive real-time 3D map of the surrounding environment.
In the same vein, the FIERCE project develops and implements solutions based on the Internet of Everything to enhance mobile drone communication safety and efficiency. Another mobility project is a series of optimised routes created for on-demand transportation in the food sector.
In the industrial field, an AI-based tool was presented to improve quality control systems in manufacturing processes. Also a system for automatically generating noise maps of cities using mobile acoustic sensors and the BEACON project, which uses laser technology to map the underwater environment and allow for safer and more accurate navigation without human support.
AI-based assistance tool for police incident response
inLab FIB, the innovation and research laboratory of the UPC's Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB), in collaboration with the Police Force of the Government of Catalonia (also known as Mossos d'Esquadra), has developed a proof of concept of an AI-based assistance tool for police response to daily incidents, which was also exhibited at the MWC.
At its stand, the UPC showcased its technological capabilities and some of the projects and solutions developed.
