Partners
ARLI is a collaborative effort with six partners. Each partner is responsible for their own area of expertise, but together, all contributions merge into the ARLI project itself.

European Space Agency - ESA
The ARLI project is funded by the European Space Agency under the NAVISP program element 3.
Element 3 is a program that helps countries improve their navigation systems.The goal is to bring together different stakeholders, such as government agencies, businesses, universities, and research centers, to work together and share ideas. This collaboration aims to strengthen the national space community and build better connections with other industries.
DTU
The Technical University of Denmark, specifically DTU Space within the Geodesy and Earth Observation division, is responsible for managing the ARLI project. Not only do they ensure everything runs smoothly, but they also conduct research on LiDAR sensors and sensor fusion.
Capra Robotics
Capra Robotics is a Danish high-tech company based in Aarhus, which specializes in creating and marketing adaptable mobile robots for alleviating human workloads globally.
In the ARLI project, they are responsible for developing and producing the 'ARLI-robot' - the robot platform and the sensor top module.
Bygkontrol
Bygkontrol is a Danish engineering and consulting firm. They have been responsible for creating 'pre-images' of the case areas based on point clouds from LiDAR scans - what we call the refence 3D model.
ITK, Aarhus Municipality
ITK is Aarhus Municipality's department for Innovation, Technology, and Creativity. In the ARLI project, they are responsible for exploring opportunities to scale and commercialize the ARLI solution as a sustainable business. This involves user research, network building, and the establishment of relevant events. Additionally, ITK is also responsible for communication
The City of Aarhus
The City of Aarhus is the second largest city of Denmark, with more than 336,000 inhabitants.
Aarhus is very active in relation to smart city initiatives and views technologies such as IoT, robotics, AI, lidar, 3D models and digital twins as enablers for creating a good and living city in the future with quality but cost-effective public services. That is why Aarhus contributes both test areas and data to the ARLI project. The project is especially collaborating with the departments ITK and Technical and Environmental Affairs.
