Descrizione del progetto
Formazione di una nuova generazione di ingegneri CAD
I recenti progressi in matematica, progettazione assistita da computer (CAD) e apprendimento automatico hanno risolto numerosi compiti riguardanti i dati multimediali e 2D, ma l’automazione dell’elaborazione e dell’analisi della geometria 3D è molto indietro. Il settore CAD richiede urgentemente metodi e strumenti avanzati per affrontare nuove sfide. Il progetto GRAPES, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di colmare questa lacuna attraverso un consorzio multidisciplinare composto da leader nei rispettivi settori. Il progetto sta lavorando per formare una nuova generazione di scienziati e ingegneri europei per creare applicazioni che includeranno simulazione e fabbricazione, idrodinamica e progettazione navale, produzione e stampa 3D.
Obiettivo
GRAPES aims at considerably advancing the state of the art in Mathematics, Computer-Aided Design, and Machine Learning in order to promote game changing approaches for generating, optimising, and learning 3D shapes, along with a multisectoral training for young researchers. Recent advances in the above domains have solved numerous tasks concerning multimedia and 2D data. However, automation of 3D geometry processing and analysis lags severely behind, despite their importance in science, technology and everyday life, and the well-understood underlying mathematical principles. The CAD industry, although well established for more than 20 years, urgently requires advanced methods and tools for addressing new challenges.
The scientific goal of GRAPES is to bridge this gap based on a multidisciplinary consortium composed of leaders in their respective fields. Top-notch research is also instrumental in forming the new generation of European scientists and engineers. Their disciplines span the spectrum from Computational Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, and Algorithm Design, up to Geometric Modelling, Shape Optimisation, and Deep Learning. This allows the 15 PhD candidates to follow either a theoretical or an applied track and to gain knowledge from both research and innovation through a nexus of intersectoral secondments and Network-wide workshops.
Horizontally, our results lead to open-source, prototype implementations, software integrated into commercial libraries as well as open benchmark datasets. These are indispensable for dissemination and training but also to promote innovation and technology transfer. Innovation relies on the active participation of SMEs, either as a beneficiary hosting an ESR or as associate partners hosting secondments. Concrete applications include simulation and fabrication, hydrodynamics and marine design, manufacturing and 3D printing, retrieval and mining, reconstruction and visualisation, urban planning and autonomous driving.
