TECHDUAL
The TECHDUAL project seeks to design, develop, and validate a modular Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) platform , propelled by hydrogen and equipped with advanced systems such as 5G/Edge communications, immersive teleoperation, and secure digital management , reaching a TRL 5 (Technology Readiness Level 5).
The role of OPTARE is key in the development of:
- An embedded module for communications and edge computing that guarantees data transmission with low latency and high resilience in demanding environments.
- This module includes edge computing capabilities for local pre-processing of sensor and camera data.
- OPTARE contributes directly to technological objective 6: Resilient communications and edge computing.
