New Chist-Era project: GIS4IoRT

GeoScITY is proud to be coordinator for project GIS4IORT funded by Chist-Era.

The convergence of robotic technologies and sensor networks has generated vast amounts of data with potential applications in several domains like agriculture and urban planning. However, the lack of interoperability between this data and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools poses a challenge. The objective of GIS4IoRT (Geographic Information Systems for Internet of Robotic Things) project is the development of a “plug and play” and cloud-based middleware to bridge this gap, enabling seamless integration and visualization of multidimensional IoRT datasets within GIS environments.

GIS4IoRT key components include:

• middleware architecture,
• cloud-based infrastructure,
• real-time interrogation of robots,
• AI-based approaches to ensure data reliability and completeness,
• spatio-temporal query support in the cloud,
• GIS integration,
• adherence to standards,
• support diverse data types (lidar, imagery, sensor, …)
• validation by agriculture case study

Project starting date: June 2025

Project duration: 3 years
