One of the initiatives selected in the call for aid for applied R&D projects, promoted by the Ministry of Universities, Science, Innovation and Culture, through the Canary Agency for Research, Innovation and Information Society (ACIISI), will develop new solutions to improve indoor localization and guidance through intelligent technologies, responding to strategic challenges related to accessibility, mobility, and the digitalization of services and infrastructures.
The project is called Intelligent System for Indoor Guidance and Localization with Digital Twins and Hybrid Architectures, and is led by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC).
The project will develop an advanced indoor localization and guidance system that will combine wireless technologies, hybrid sensors, digital twins, and hybrid architectures in order to overcome the limitations currently presented by these types of systems.
The research focuses on integrating different technologies to advance the development of more precise solutions adapted to environments where conventional positioning systems present difficulties.
Innovation aligned with the RIS3 of the Canary Islands
The proposal is part of the objectives of the Canary Islands Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3 2021-2027), and presents a notable potential for regional socioeconomic impact, as it responds to strategic challenges of the archipelago related to accessibility, mobility, and the digitalization of services and infrastructures.
The project obtained a score of 75.4 points in the scientific-technical evaluation of the call and will have funding of 98,800 euros.
The initiative is part of the 17 projects financed in the latest regional call for applied R&D, endowed with more than 2.5 million euros, and has co-financing from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the framework of the ERDF Canary Islands Program 2021-2027.
