Congress Of Technology And Applications Of Pneumatics In Industry

The current state of technological development, with particular emphasis on perception, localisation and control methods in various environmental conditions.

A discussion of the main limitations: reliability in dynamic and unstructured environments, energy issues, communication constraints, and challenges associated with operation in conditions of limited access to GNSS.

Analysis of differences between operational environments and the resulting requirements for algorithms and system architecture.

Areas for further research: development of multi-robot systems, advanced data fusion methods, and the application of machine learning techniques in autonomous decision-making.

- The ‘Green Hydrogen Challenge’, an initiative launched by the Hydrogen Study Group. At the start of spring, they set a Polish range record in a hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai – 800 km on a single tank, travelling from Zakopane to Hel. They used energy recovery techniques during the journey. The driver’s patience was also crucial. More on this during the panel discussion.

- Proposals to amend the law regarding the obligation for costly cylinder inspections in hydrogen vehicles.

Studium Wodoru is a Polish training company. Drawing on the many years of experience of its founders, it specialises in education and consultancy.

Together with two German universities in Oldenburg and Hanover, the company runs a certified study programme entitled ‘Hydrogen for Top Managers’.

Studium Wodoru collaborates with the Freiberg Institute and is the exclusive provider of EDGAR software in Poland. This software is used to optimise hydrogen installations. 

An overview of the general role of ROVs and AUVs in the energy industry (resource exploration and exploitation, seabed mapping, and reservoir identification).

Monitoring of offshore infrastructure (wind farms, pipelines, cables): methods of inspection, diagnostics and autonomous surveillance.

Case study: underwater robotics in the Baltic Sea (Baltic Power wind farm) and the scientific article ‘Joint Optimization of Fleet Size, Localization Infrastructure, and Trajectories for Multi-AUV Persistent Monitoring’.

Seabed exploitation: exploration for new deposits of energy resources and rare earth metals (hydrothermal fields and polymetallic nodules).

Technological challenges: GNSS-free navigation, communication limitations, long-term autonomy and real-time data integration.
