Newsletter #3

Dear reader,

Welcome to the third edition of the BEEYONDERS newsletter, where we bring you the latest updates on the project's progress.

In this edition, we focus not only on recent achievements but also on the exciting steps ahead. In June, we are launching the activities within the six identified pilots, where the technologies developed so far in BEEYONDERS will be tested and validated. The demonstration activities will include:

• Showcasing the use of wearables, drones and exoskeletons on a construction site in Helsinki, Finland.
• Testing innovative structural designs for maritime caisson shapes in Spain, alongside developing caisson surfaces that promote the settlement of marine biodiversity.
• In the Netherlands, the newly developed Digital Twin of an environmentally friendly push-in pile system, designed for low noise and vibration, will undergo testing. This innovation results from a close collaboration between Japanese equipment manufacturer Giken Ltd and BEEYONDERS.
• On the A24 highway in Florence, Italy, ground and aerial autonomous navigation vehicles, as well as Digital Twin technology, will be demonstrated.
• In Rome, Italy, a road maintenance test will utilize drones and ground autonomous vehicles to automate inspection, maintenance, and surveillance tasks.
• Finally, in the tunnel works in León, Spain, autonomous and teleoperated ground and aerial robotic solutions will be applied to construction machinery.

This is a crucial phase for the project, as highlighted by the project coordinator, Antonio Alonso Cepeda:

"The time has come to showcase the work accomplished over the past months. Implementing new solutions in real-world environments is always complex and challenging due to technical difficulties and collaboration with human workers. However, we are confident that we will achieve positive results".

Stay tuned and follow our work on the project’s social media channels. In the meantime, we invite you to read this edition of the newsletter, hoping you will find it interesting.

With kind regards,

As we prepare to conduct the initial tests on our pioneering technologies in real-world environments, we thought it would be the perfect time to delve deeper into the many innovations of BEEYONDERS.

In the latest installments of the 'Meet Our Tech' series, you will see how innovations such as additive manufacturing, alongside autonomous and teleoperated vehicles, are making a significant impact.

BEEYONDERS is thriving! A recent article on the BUILD UP portal, the European hub for energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings, features insights from EBC, Tecnalia Research & Innovation, and Sci-track.

They present how BEEYONDERS and HumanTech are seamlessly integrating human-robot collaboration technologies to help workers and companies tackle the skills shortage in the European construction sector.

The recent General Assembly in Genoa (Italy) held between May 20 and 22, provided an excellent opportunity to share updates on the project's progress and prepare the launch of activities in our pilot sites.
