Participatory Budget 2023

Un participatory budget It is an instrument that allows participatory democracy to be incorporated in the definition of certain expenditure items, so that the members of a community decide freely and directly the destination of a part of the budget.

To apply this practice to ESI budget for the year 2023, a procedure is established through which the university community of the ESI will first present its proposals for projects of academic interest to be financed, these will then be evaluated in order to detect those that could be redundant or not viable due to regulatory or technical issues and, finally, the accepted proposals will be voted on and chosen.

So the participation of the staff and students of the ESI can occur in two ways: presenting proposals and, later, voting on the set of proposals made.

The amount of the participatory budget for the 2023 financial year, the third year in which this formula is applied, amounts to 4.000 €.

ESImulator: ESI driving simulator

An integral system where different computer science topics can develop integrating projects

ESImulator composed of: Cockpit (chassis + bucket) + Hoop + Pedals + DDR Base + Monitor + Computer
The objective of the ESImulator comprehensive project is the configuration and exploitation of a test bench and multidisciplinary developments where different actions and themes can be integrated within the field of computing. In order for this objective to be carried out, it is considered that there must be a set of actions that, although diverse, can be framed within a single, clear and well-defined activity. For this reason it is considered that the simulation, and within it, the driving simulation can offer a unique and concrete framework suitable for the project.
The simulation offers the possibility of:
  • Carry out a complex and expensive activity in the real world, such as driving different vehicles in a multitude of circumstances and scenarios. The capture of all the telemetry that allows to completely monitor the activity.
  • The recording of the activity and its subsequent reproduction, allowing multiple analyzes of the same experience.
  • The generation of scenarios at will with modern 3D generation and development techniques.
  • The performance on the simulated actuators, allowing the activity to be developed by artificial bots.
  • Possibility of adapting driving from a simulated environment for citizens with physical limitations.
This line of work opens a way of collaboration with the User-Machine Interaction subjects. All these possibilities can be exploited by the field of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems with the possibility of generating different categories of intelligent agents through the direction of TFG and TFM both in driving assistance techniques, piloting analysis, autonomous driving , machine learning... Similarly, it can also be used in engineering and software development courses for the design of data visualization systems, management of complex data structuring, design of systems for tournament creation and management, etc.

Laboratory 8/5 (8 h, 5 days a week)
Access to a computer with the necessary hardware and software to face the laboratories of some subjects

In some subjects such as Design of Embedded Systems, Advanced Computers, Design of Microprocessor-Based Systems, etc. students need access to equipment or software that is not always possible to install or access on students' personal computers. A lot of course planning time is wasted in solving these problems and in some cases it is necessary to adapt in such a way that the initial objectives are not met.
The project consists of a collaboration grant so that a student can keep the corresponding laboratory open.
