On the road at dtec.bw annual conference 2024

At the dtec.bw annual conference last week, we presented the RIVA project together with our partners from Helmut-Schmidt University, more precisely the Professorships of Automation Technology and Control Engineering, and it-objects.

We have been working on multimodal vehicle networks in this ambitious project since 2020. In addition to the vehicles and drones shown in the photo, this also includes a boat, which we have tongue-in-cheek christened “Second Element”.

In these vehicle networks, it is now possible for tasks, such as transporting a parcel, to be divided automatically between the vehicles: the boat drops off a rover, while a drone determines the position of the parcel and accompanies the rover during transportation and finally all of them drop off again together with the boat. The possible areas of application for such autonomous vehicle networks are numerous and varied.

The project will run until the end of this year.
