Demos

Schedule: Monday (December 16) - Thursday December 19), 9:30 - 18:00
Location: Exhibition Area

AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Driving Autonomous) is an ambitious project by the Politecnico di Milano, aimed at experimenting with autonomous driving on public roads. Of particular importance was the participation in the 2023 and 2024 editions of the historic 1000 Miglia race and in the Trofeo Vallecamonica, events that have allowed the system’s capabilities to be tested in highly demanding and competitive contexts. Simultaneously, numerous new tests will be launched in urban environments with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness and reliability of autonomous driving in real and complex traffic scenarios. The project aims to create a future where road safety and reliability are significantly improved. This approach not only promises to reduce accidents and increase safety for all road users but also to make mobility more efficient and sustainable. With the “AIDA” project, the Politecnico di Milano not only positions itself at the forefront of technological research but also commits to playing a key role in shaping the future of Italian mobility. The adoption of artificial intelligence in autonomous driving represents both a challenge and an opportunity to redefine the way we move, laying the foundations for a new era of innovation and progress in the transportation sector.

The demo will consist of a presentation of two self-driving vehicles, including footage acquired during on-field testing. A team of engineers working on the project will be present to answer questions regarding the hardware and software of the vehicles.

Schedule: Tuesday (December 17), 9:30-18:00 
Location: Gold Lounge

The robot dogs that will be presented during CDC2024 are the state of the art of kinematics and sw/hw management of movements and balance.
The machines can perform a series of evolutions and movements managed remotely or they can also operate with the help of AI for missions with pre-established objectives.

Schedule: Wednesday (December 18), 13:30 - 15:30
Location: Gold Lounge

Budd-e is an assistive robot designed to guide visually impaired people safely and effectively in complex environments. At CDC’24, you will have the chance to test this technology first-hand, with the possibility for the willing to test the guidance feature blind-folded. 

A link to register for the demonstration will be provided closer to the event here.

Schedule: Thursday (December 19), 10:00 - 12:00 and 13:30 - 15:30

Join us for a live demonstration of autonomous e-scooters, highlighting the integration of advanced control technology in micromobility solutions. Explore the potential of these autonomous vehicles in contributing to sustainable urban transport through innovative control strategies.

Highlights of the event include:

• Live Demonstration: Witness the autonomous e-scooters in action, navigating the hallways at CDC 2024.
• Technical Discussion: Hear from our team from the Institute for Systems Theory and Automatic Control, University of Stuttgart, about the control strategies and use cases for these vehicles, including their impact on sustainability.
• Interactive Q&A: Engage with the team and get answers to all your questions about this exciting development in urban transport.
• Networking: Connect with other professionals, enthusiasts, and colleagues interested and active in the field of micromobility and autonomous robots.

Get to know more about our project and explore how autonomous e-scooters can enhance urban mobility. We are looking forward to seeing you at CDC 2024. If you can't wait, check out our project website: estarling.io.
