Projects

Featured project: RAPID

RAPID is the current featured project and the first public technology page on the site.

RAPID Project

Development of an MVP robotic system for the protection of solar infrastructures against bird interference, combining computer vision, robotic actuation, and adaptive deterrence strategies.

What RAPID does

RAPID aims to detect birds in the operational area, interpret the situation in real time, and trigger deterrence actions through a bio-inspired robotic platform using sound, motion, and intelligent behavior selection.

Robotics Computer Vision AI Solar Infrastructure Climate-positive innovation

Core objectives

  • Develop a functional MVP
  • Integrate bird detection capabilities
  • Test sound-based and visual deterrence responses
  • Validate the system through prototype demonstrations

Media & Demonstrations

The images below illustrate the core problem addressed by RAPID, the detection stage, and the deterrence effect when the robotic platform approaches the birds.

Solar panel heavily dirtied by birds

Bird activity can significantly dirty solar panels, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance needs.

Bird detection on solar panels

AI-based visual detection can identify multiple birds on solar infrastructure in real time.

Birds flying away as RAPID drone approaches

RAPID is designed to trigger a deterrence response and push birds away from the protected area.
