What’s happening in PARIS:
This year’s Global Summer School in Paris happens in the context of the Fab City Summit, an invitation to take part of the transformation towards a more sustainable and accessible future for the cities that become locally productive and globally connected through collaboration and disruptive technologies. The challenge of this GSS Paris program relies on the possible future transformations of the way we consume and produce almost anything in cities, making them more sustainable and resilient, by enabling local production and global collaboration using traditional knowledge and advanced technologies.
During the first week the GSS participants set up an Urban Farm in the Parc de la Villette, where they will learn how to robot with Rover, Drone, Balloon and CableBot in different teams. This collaboration is possible thanks to Noumena, a multidisciplinary company based in Barcelona, ROMI – European project on Robotics for Microfarms, a project developed with IAAC, SONY and other interdisciplinary experts to help farmers by monitoring crops through the combination of land based and aerial robotics to offer farming communities multi-scalar crop monitoring applications for complex and dense planting layouts, weeding and manual tools that reduce physical stresses and increase yields.
