The members of the IMT Digital Fund-IGEU, IMT and Fondation Mines-Télécom held a meeting on 23 February.

AlertSmartCity (the incubator at IMT Mines Albi) wishesto create an interoperable alert management platform, to be used in the event of a major risk (natural, industrial, health or terrorist disaster). This platform will allow municipalities to send qualified and geolocalized alerts to their public institutions (schools, cultural, sports, hospitals, administrations and other palaces receiving the public) using dedicated communication terminals that are resilient to network outages and are interactive (bi-directional communication). These reception terminals will allow disaster victims to report back to the crisis unit.

Cook-e (Télécom Paris Novation Center) proposes a multi-function connected robot for restaurant kitchens. The restaurant owner enters a recipe into the robot software and then loads the ingredient tanks. These tanks can be stored cool, dry or warm. The robot then prepares the recipe: it measures out, cuts, cooks, mixes and cleans itself automatically. It can prepare all dishes with mixed ingredients in small pieces: pasta with sauce, salads, bowls, rice, meat and fish in small pieces, vegetable side dishes, etc.
