Dit weekend voor het eerst in de vaart: de Bospont. Als het aan de kunstenaars­kolonie bij de Nieuwe Meer ligt, wordt hun drijvende fietspad zelfs robotgestuurd.

Hollanda’nın kültür başkenti Amsterdam’da en önemli ulaşım araçlarından biri şehrin yüzde 25‘ini kaplayan kanallarda gezen tekneler. Amsterdam’daki bu tekneler hem insanlı ulaşımı hem de mal taşımacılığı için oldukça sık kullanılıyor. Roboat adı verilen bu otonom botlar, hem insan taşımacılığı hem de mal taşımacılığı yapabilecek.

The debate around self-driving cars has continued to escalate as they hit the road this month in Pittsburgh. But what about other kinds of vehicles that could benefit from similar technology? MIT’s Senseable City Lab and AMS, the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, have come together to explore the idea of self-driving boats.

Amsterdam will soon be home to a fleet of autonomous canal boats, if a new collaboration between MIT and the Netherlands’ Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS) goes well. The flagship project of the collaboration between the two organizations (ROBOAT as it’s been dubbed), the autonomous canal boat fleet project will be led by researchers from multiple departments at MIT.

The Dutch city of Amsterdam will play host to one of the world’s first projects to develop autonomous capabilities for boats. Organised by the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS), the project will involve researchers from two Dutch universities as well as MIT. The project itself, called Roboat, will attempt to create an autonomous boat able to be used in urban water-based transportation networks.

The many canals of the "Venice of the North" may soon get some high-tech traffic. The new Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS) is teaming up with researchers from MIT to develop a fleet of self-steering robot boats. Named roboats, the autonomous watercraft could move people and goods around the city, and even combine into a temporary bridge or two.

Inoltre le Roboat condurranno analisi ambientali sulla qualità dell'acqua e dell'aria, per identificare sul nascere potenziali infezioni, ed effettueranno rilevamenti sull'inquinamento acustico. UN CONSORZIO PER LA RICERCA Il progetto varato dall'AMS Institute (www.ams-institute.org/roboat) prevede un programma quinquennale e un budget di 25 milioni di euro, che potrebbe portare a ulteriori ricerche per imbarcazioni sottomarine a guida autonoma.

Non solo i veicoli a quattro ruote beneficeranno delle innovazioni introdotte dalle tecnologie self-driving. La conferma arriva da Amsterdam, dove l’AMS (Advanced Metropolitan Solutions) ha avviato un programma, in partnership con il MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) che porterà a sperimentare l’impiego di imbarcazioni autonome nelle acque della capitale olandese.

Voor schone lucht moet je niet in de stad zijn. Omdat er zoveel mensen wonen, is de schade aan de gezondheid door vervuiling in de stad aanzienlijk. Neem China, waar de stadsbevolking wordt blootgesteld aan een gevaarlijke cocktail van giftige gassen en fijnstofdeeltjes. Inademen van deze cocktail veroorzaakt klachten aan de luchtwegen en hart- en vaatziekten.

The roboats, due to be launched in the Dutch capital next year, are part of a five-year pilot to activate the city’s canals and address transportation, mobility and water quality in Amsterdam. The pilot will reveal the extent to which self-driving roboats can transport people and goods through the city.

Het AMS Institute introduceert Roboat: het eerste grootschalige onderzoeksprogramma naar autonoom varen in de stad. Het vijfjarige programma wordt uitgevoerd in Amsterdam door onderzoekers van Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Delft University of Technology (TUD) and Wageningen University and Research (WUR).

Wenn das „Amsterdam Institut für fortgeschrittene großstädtische Lösungen“ über selbst fahrende Vehikel forscht, ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass damit keine Autos, sondern Boote gemeint sind. Immerhin beanspruchen Kanäle und Wasserflächen ein Viertel der Fläche Amsterdams. Und das Kanalsystem sieht nicht nur schön aus, sondern hat seit jeher eine wichtige Funktion für den Personen- und Warentransport in der Stadt.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) along with the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) have started the world’s first major research project on autonomous floating vessels in metropolitan areas. The project called Roboat, will be conducted by researchers from MIT, Delft University of Technology (TUD) and Wageningen University and Research (WUR).

The idea of self-driving cars cruising our roads may not be a new idea, but a plan to release autonomous boats into the canals of Amsterdam would be the first of its kind. The Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) is collaborating with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the first research program into the new technology.
