WP5 - Management
The new project “AERIAL Cognitive Integrated Multi-task Robotic System with Extended Operation Range and Safety (AERIAL-CORE)”, which commenced on December 1, 2019 , is another joint project of FER (LARICS) and their AeRoTwin partners - University of Sevilla, which has taken up the role of the project coordinator in this project, and Technological Corporation of Andalusia (CTA), among others.
The main objective of AERIAL-CORE is the development of core technology modules and an integrated aerial cognitive robotic system that will have unprecedented capabilities on the operational range and safety in the interaction with people, or Aerial Co-Workers (ACW), for applications such as the inspection and maintenance of large infrastructures.
The project will integrate aerial robots with different characteristics to meet the requirements of:
- Long range (several kilometres) and local very accurate (subcentimetre) inspection of the infrastructure capability;
- Maintenance activities based on aerial manipulation involving force interactions; and
- Aerial co-working safely and efficiently helping human workers in inspection and maintenance.

Key Performance Indicators
KPI 1 - Publications
| 2012 - 2017 | M36 | M48 | |
| KPI 1.1 Average No. of publications in Q1/Q2 journals per year
In last 5 years LARICS published only 1 paper in Q1 journals and 1.6 papers in Q2 journals per year. Our plan is to at least double these numbers during the lifetime of the project – 2 papers in Q1 and 3 in Q2 per year.
|
1 / 1.6 | 2 / 3 | 3 / 4 |
| KPI 1.2 Average No. of conference publications per year
LARICS published approx. 15 conference papers per year. We expect this number to increase to at least 20 conference papers per year.
|
15 | 20 | 22 |
| KPI 1.3 Average No. of citations per year
LARICS citations in the last 5 years are taken from Google scholar, Web of Science and Scopus. We expect that these numbers will significantly increase due to increase in a quality of published joint papers.
|
∼ 170 (GS) ∼ 18 (WoS) ∼ 30 (Scps) |
∼ 250 (GS) ∼ 25 (WoS) ∼ 42 (Scps) |
∼ 275 (GS) ∼ 28 (WoS) ∼ 45 (Scps) |
KPI 2 - Participation in national and EU research projects
| 2012 - 2017 | M36 | M48 | |
| KPI 2.1 Average No. of national and international proposals submitted per year
In the last 5 years LARICS submitted 5 proposals per year (65% of them as coordinator). We expect that AeRoTwin will increase this number to 7 proposals per year.
|
5 | 7 | 7.5 |
| KPI 2.2 Percentage of national and international proposal granted
With increased number of submitted proposal increase of acceptance rate is expected due to higher quality of proposals.
|
30% | 40% | 40% |
KPI 3 - Innovation and technology transfer
| 2012 - 2017 | M36 | M48 | |
