MIDA, the self-driving drone

Acea and start-up Wesii present the MIDA  (Monitoring Autonomous Drone Systems) project, a self-driving drone for the detection of energy losses of photovoltaic panels and subsequent maintenance. The drone and its hangar are inside the Acea stand.  

Smart Comp: Acea’s mini composting plants to enhance the waste disposal cycle

Acea’s stand at Maker Faire Rome also hosts Smart Comp, the innovative diffused composting project for the management of organic waste. The main goal is to recovery material in the process of closing the waste cycle.

Acea e Pixies presentano le panchine smart

Pixies is a high-tech start-up which developed a system enabling autonomous mobile robots and smart benches to work together to clean large spaces, indoors and outdoors. The bench has the basic role of electric charging station, inside which the robots return autonomously once the cleaning is finished. It is a zero-impact system: thanks to solar panels, the robot uses deep learning algorithms to detect and collect waste separately.

Virtual Reality experiences in Rome: discover Experience VR with StartSmart

In collaboration with start-up StartSmart, which makes people's training more efficient also through the use of VR, Acea’s stand hosts Virtual Reality stations.

The programme of Maker Faire Rome

The event starts with the opening conference entitled 'Commonground - Innovation keep us together'.
A theme which celebrates connected worlds, people, communities of changemakers who are redesigning the scenarios in which we live, inspiring a social change aimed at generating new and fluid models and solutions.
The stands and the scheduled events at the 10th edition of Maker Faire Rome range from digital manufacturing to the Internet of Things, from AI to robotics, from circular economy to agritech, including also issues related to biohacking, data science and aerospace.
