Past projects

MVL

Val di Lima’s museums

The goal of the project is to design a localization system at the Museum of Benabbio and San Cassiano di Controne. In particular, researchers from the Wireless Network Lab (WnLAB) at CNR-ISTI (Institute of Information Science and Technologies) have worked on the development of the MVL app, an application for Android and iOS devices capable of automatically recognizing the proximity between a visitor and a work of art. The application, developed in prototype form, therefore offers the visitor a series of multimedia contents useful for understanding the artwork being observed and placing it in its historical-artistic context. The visitor thus uses their smartphone also as a guide, accessing a series of high-quality contents describing the various artworks present.

Smart Campus

In the smart cities context, in the second half of 2013 CNR launched a project entitled Renewable Energy and ICT for Energy Sustainability. The project was based on the widespread use of renewable energy sources (and related storage technologies and energy management) and
the extensive use of ICT technologies for an enhanced management of the energy flows, thus making the energy services more efficient by adapting them to the demand (and,therefore,encouraging the energy saving and the energy rational use), with the informed involvement of citizens.

MOSCARDO aimed at contributing to the safety of the historical buildings. The project provided a scalable and reliable Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system able to operate both during the ordinary condition and emergencies, for the damage evaluation.

PlatformUptake.eu

Assessing the State of the Art and Supporting an Evidence-Based Uptake and Evolution of Open Service Platforms in the Active and Healthy Ageing Domain

The PlatformUptake.eu seeks to deliver an inventory of the state of the art and analyse the use of open service platforms in the Active and Healthy Ageing domain, covering both open platforms -such as UniversAAL, FIWARE and partly-open/proprietary platforms developed by industry, and address the interactions between these platforms. To measure the impacts of such platform and enhance their uptake, the project proposal presents a methodology for monitoring open platform development, adoption and spread across Europe, by listing key factors that determine success or hinderance in their uptake by the end-user groups, and also the evolution of their ecosystems and stakeholder networks.

SCIADRO

SCIAme di DROni

Born for military application, drones are expanding civil application fields. In civil field, RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) are commonly used to obtain aerial point of views exploited for context analysis, photogrammetry and agriculture. A challenging and innovative aspect is the development of evolved application dedicated to the environmental and territory protection, infrastructural monitoring (e.g. aerial power lines), and security. Aiming at this, the application should involve a set of different and configurable sensors such as detector of gases, heavy metals and bacterial charges, evaluator of electromagnetic foul-up, explosive detector and/or smart cameras able to perform an on-board elaboration and to send this result to the ground station or to other drones.

WB@Lucca

INTERMEDIA

Interactive Media with Personal Networked Devices

INTERMEDIA seeks to progress beyond home and device-centric convergence toward truly user-centric convergence of multimedia. The vision is The User as Multimedia Central: the user as the point at which services (multimedia applications) and the means for interacting with them (devices and interfaces) converge. Key to the INTERMEDIA's vision is that users are provided with a personalized interface and with personalized content independently of the particular set of physical devices they have available for interaction (on the body, or in their environment), and independently of the physical space in which they are situated.

universAAL

The potential benefits of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions are already clearly recognised, and societal trends indicate that they will be attractive to a large and increasing number of people. But uptake of such solutions has so far been limited. UniversAAL aims to reduce barriers to adoption and to promote the development and widespread uptake of innovative AAL solutions. It will benefit end-users (i.e. elderly people and people with disabilities, their carers and family members) by making new solutions affordable, simple to configure, personalise and deploy. It will benefit solution providers by making it easier and cheaper to create innovative new AAL services or adapt existing ones using a compositional approach based on existing components, services and external systems.

DoReMi

Malnutrition, Sedentariness, and Cognitive decline are the main causes of morbidity and premature mortality. These three impairments will represent the target areas in DOREMI. The project aims to develop a systemic solution for older people, which is able to prolong their functional and cognitive capacity by empowering, stimulating and unobtrusively monitoring their daily activities. The project joins together the concept of prevention, centred on the older population with a constructive interaction between mind, body and social engagement.
