roundAround: an autonomous 'bridge'

Smart Urban Mobility

Keeping the center of Amsterdam connected to other areas that are rapidly (re)developing can be a challenge. Could a fleet of autonomous boats bridge the waterway between Marineterrein Amsterdam and the Amsterdam City Center?

Roboat offers a new kind of on-demand infrastructure: autonomous boats that collect waste, transport materials and people or - when combined - form floating bridges and stages, all while sensing the city.

During the online seminar we will introduce the full-scale boat, and show how the full-scale hits the water for the very first time. Exciting developments preparing the grounds for the next phase of the research project.

When: November 19, 16:00 CET (10am EST)

Speakers joining from Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Fabio Duarte (Senseable City Lab), Tixiao Shan (Senseable City Lab), Drew Meyers (MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering).
