GeoNumerics selected to join the Robotics for Inspection and Maintenance (RIMA) EU programme
GeoNumerics’ patented mapKITE technology will be the cornerstone of the project MAP4CAT, an application of mapKITE for robotic road mapping in Catalonia. The project is led by GeoNumerics in partnership with Octocam-maps, a drone operator for professional applications.
Castelldefels, 14 September 2020. GeoNumerics is one of the nineteen selected beneficiaries to join the Robotics for Inspection and Management Accelerator Programme (RIMA). Out of 385 initial applications, 114 submitted and eligible, and 51 shortlisted, 19 proposals were finally selected --13 of them for the Technology Demonstrators Programme and 6 for the Technology Transfer Experiments Programme, MAP4CAT being among the latter group.
In December 2019, GeoNumerics responded to the first RIMA open call with the MAP4CAT proposal. Today, MAP4CAT is a project, a six-month technology demonstrator of GeoNumerics' patented tandem aerial-terrestrial mobile mapping technology mapKITE. The demonstration exercises will take place in Catalan roads.
