Demo & highlights year-two by Carlo Ratti
The Roboat project is rounding up its 2nd year of research. On Friday, October 5th, the research team of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will join AMS Institute in Amsterdam for a technical demonstration in (semi-)open water at our new location at Marineterrein Amsterdam. The demonstration will be with two 1:4 scale prototype boats that can navigate fully autonomous, including (un-)docking and object detection and collision avoidance. During the demo, Prof. Carlo Ratti will share the most important year-two results.
Official opening Roboat exhibition
AMS institute is proud to present an exhibition on Roboat and the potential applications of autonomous boats in the canals of Amsterdam, and it’s possibilities for cities worldwide. The exhibition will be officially opened by Prof. Carlo Ratti. In the exhibition the five application areas that AMS Institute is currently working on can be experienced, which are: household waste collection in the inner-city, autonomous transport of people in the city of Amsterdam, distribution of food/goods within the city centre, self-assembling water-infrastructures (such as temporary bridges) and options for automated sensing of water quality and other urban and environmental variables. The exhibition has been designed by MIT Senseable City Lab of and is curated by Prof. Carlo Ratti, and will include a 1:2 model of the Roboat, various interactive AR installations and data visualization projections.
