Developments of the IEEE association and new 3D printers UPCT Makers Association are also shown;
There will also be a presentation of OPENRov, closely linked to the Sirena company project (Autonomous Underwater powered by electricity using solar collectors), a kit for underwater exploration open code;
It will be released the next generation prototype UGV (Dron Terrestrial designed and manufactured entirely in the School of Industry);
