DEMO 1: Robotic Technology for Smart Building Inspection
Discover Oliwall, a robotic platform developed as part of the DiSCOVER project, designed to identify and map structural elements, materials and building components through continuous, georeferenced scanning.
Throughout the event, visitors will see Oliwall in action and explore its advanced robotic capabilities. Its omnidirectional mobile base allows it to move in any direction and rotate on the spot for precise positioning, while its robotic arm moves freely around the platform, automatically avoiding collisions with the robot itself.
The highlight of the demonstration will be a live scan of a wall installed at the UPC stand, where Oliwall will use its sensors to identify surface materials and detect components concealed within the structure.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover how Oliwall maps its surroundings and automatically recognises building elements, such as doors, showcasing the potential of robotics for smarter building inspection and assessment.

DEMO 2: A 3D Circular Economy Map of Existing Buildings
See the Building. Read Its Resources. Plan Its Circular Future
CircMap is a 3D circular economy map of existing buildings developed within the CIRC-BOOST project. It combines detailed 3D building geometry with building typologies, local technical evidence and material data to make hidden material stocks visible.
The underlying models provide estimates of material types and quantities, from individual building elements and material layers to entire buildings, neighbourhoods and urban areas.
At the exhibition, visitors will interact with CircMap on a touchscreen, navigate the 3D urban environment, select individual buildings and explore their building inventories, estimated material composition and quantities, and selected construction and demolition waste and circularity indicators. The demonstration provides a glimpse into how building-level data can support better planning of renovation and demolition activities, material recovery and circular resource management. CircMap aims to support more informed decisions by cities, building owners, designers, auditors, contractors, waste operators and researchers.

DEMO 3: MONET
During the exhibition, Captor-VI , an environmental monitoring node developed for real-time air quality analysis as part of the MONET project, will be showcased.
Equipped with sensors to measure NO₂, O₃, particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), temperature and humidity, the device enables continuous monitoring of key pollutants regulated under European Union standards.
Captor-VI stands out for its high level of interoperability, allowing data to be transmitted to the MONET platform via LoRa, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Matter or cellular networks, depending on the application’s requirements. Its energy self-sufficient architecture, incorporating a solar panel and battery, facilitates deployment in remote locations without existing infrastructure, ensuring continuous, autonomous data collection.

DEMO 4: THERMOPOLIS
As part of the THERMOPOLIS project, an advanced urban monitoring system designed to assess Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) at pedestrian level will be presented.
The system uses high-precision surface temperature sensors (0.1°C) installed on building façades. Powered by batteries, these sensors take measurements every five minutes and transmit the data to the monitoring platform via cellular networks. The network also incorporates anemometers to measure wind speed and direction, enabling the analysis of airflow patterns throughout the urban street network.
To achieve an accurate characterisation of the urban microclimate, the project combines the processing of satellite thermal imagery with data collected on the ground. Predictive models are also calibrated and trained using street-level thermal images captured with high-resolution thermal cameras, ensuring accurate correlation between thermal radiation from building façades and the thermal conditions experienced by pedestrians.
