Spoke 3 develops innovative technological solutions to improve environmental monitoring and safeguard strategy and methodologies dedicated to the three environmental scenarios (water, air, soil) representative of the Ligurian territory.
The main challenge of Spoke 3 is to create innovative robotic systems, managed by AI, capable of making punctual and widespread monitoring that are also coupled and synergistic. Another goals of Spoke 3 are to increase the efficiency of data collection and their dissemination, to extend the duration and energy saving of monitoring missions and to improve the quality and timing of the various forecasting systems (early warning systems) dedicated to the protection and continuous monitoring of the environment (widespread, integrated and dynamic-adaptive monitoring).
SPOKE 3’s research and development activities aim to develop a new discipline, ecorobotics, which puts robotics and AI at the service of the environment, imagining new strategies for planning and implementing sustainable land management.
