Inteface Design: Definition of a User-Friendly System for Data Mining

2013, 9th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

Complex environments, such as organizations, are characterized by the potential availability of a constantly increasing amount of data. This data are often unstructured and organized in separated blocks stored within different company units, often without a clear strategy for their management and exploitation. Thus, the potential largely remains unexpressed. One of the most critical concerns […]

HyperSMS: GOING HYPERSONIC, Spaceplane Multifunctional Structures

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

The HyperSMS project is devoted to the identification of a solution for achieving reusability of space vehicles and thus increasing space access capability. What really is the obstacle for the realization of a truly reusable space vehicle is the flight phase called re-entry, when the space vehicle impacts with the Planetary atmosphere at hypersonic velocity.

MEM-BRAIN: MEMristor synapses for BRAIN computing

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

In the context of this project, we applied the principles of neuromorphic computing to the classification of EMG signals, proposing an innovative approach to prostheses control. Although the market already provides high-tech solutions in fact, the process of adapting industry-standard prostheses to patients is nowadays complex and lengthy. For some aspects, it can be said

Haptichem: A Haptic-Enhanced Framework for Chemistry Teaching and Research

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

Currently, the approach in life science teaching makes a wide use of visual representations, especially when molecules are involved. Indeed, due to their size they represent an abstract knowledge that sometimes can be difficult for students to grasp. Visual perception is usually superior if compared to touch: first of all it is rapid, while touch

PARLOMA: A Communication System for Deafblind People

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

As Aristotle said, “Man is by nature a social animal”. One of the main characteristics of human beings is the will to be together and form communities; doing this, we are able to help each other. A crucial condition to enable this cohesion is to share a language: that is the only way to communicate
