ITER is working on the photovoltaic cells to laminate the surface of the wings and give autonomy to the platform and in coordination with the IUMA (ULPGC) will integrate the multispectral sensor developed ad-hoc for pollutant detection. The research staff of the University Institute of Applied Microelectronics of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, IUMA, met with the Robotics Department of ITER to coordinate the joint works in the PERSEO project. The objective of this meeting was to jointly perform flight tests and try to define the requirements for the integration of the multispectral sensor being developed by…

The study, in which INVOLCAN and ITER have participated, has obtained promising results for obtaining near real-time information on the dynamic evolution of explosive volcanic activity through electrostatic monitoring. Analysis of electrical signals generated by the Tajogaite volcano on La Palma during 2021 demonstrates that volcanic lightning can provide valuable information about an eruption, including its source parameters and the direction of the ash cloud. The study, published in one of the scientific journals of the Nature group, was carried out by researchers from the Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN), the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER), the Ludwig-Maximilians…

This public-private partnership project addresses the management of hot spots in public use areas. One of the specific objectives of the PAULIA project is to define a catalog of vegetation solutions for geographical areas with hot climates and to characterize their urban hot spot reduction properties for introduction into solution simulation models. PAULIA is a project funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the State Research Agency /10.13039/501100011033 and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR, In the case of the Canary Islands, characterization will be carried out in the first place of Canary flora species of ornamental interest that…
