Overview
- The first mission targets documentation of the Arco del Puente, with queued work at the Parque de la Exposición, crypts, monuments, Molino de Aliaga and the former San Andrés hospital.
- The quadruped carries LiDAR and high-precision sensors for real-time imaging and measurement in tight, uneven or unlit spaces.
- Field captures become point clouds that are transformed into 3D models, BIM assets, virtual tours and intervention proposals for restoration, urban management and funding.
- Project leads say the approach reduces exposure for technical teams and compresses surveys that once took years into months.
- The initiative, run by the university’s Center for Sustainability with Prolima and the Cabildo, engages faculty, technicians and students across more than 50 active heritage projects, with Alqo received on Jan. 5.
