Yesterday Vives organised a live demo of its latest DIOL project: a self-driving electric ground robot with a 360° camera designed to inspect logistics hubs´ perimeters. The eevnt saw the presence of local stakeholders, including the airport CEO and the mayor of Ostend.
The robot, tested in Ostend, is intended for ports and airports, especially those involved in support of the offshore energy industry, to strengthen the level of security. This smart drone would continuously patrol the fence line, monitor for any irregularities, take photos, and detect rust, damage, or intruders — while all data is stored automatically and securely. Thanks to artificial intelligence, anomalies will be detected immediately, enabling even more frequent and more thorough inspections — as a valuable addition to the patrols carried out by existing ports/aiirport security teams.
The prototype of this innovative ground robot was developed by VIVES University of Applied Sciences and ZYGO.
Some key features of the model are:
