AdMIRE 2: Advanced Mobile Intelligence and Reactive Environments

2008, 4th Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics

AdMIRE, Advanced Mobile Intelligence and Reactive Environments, presents a revolutionary vision in which the “intelligence” is placed on the mobile device. “Mobile” as “personal”, always available in the hands of the user, able to hold all his/her knowledge. The environment is perceived as “reactive”: equipped with ICT sensors and controls it “reacts” to user requests, […]

ORTHOROB: ORTHOpaedic Surgery and ROBotics

2008, 4th Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics

In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures, the surgeon is required to correctly orient the cutting guides to ensure the surgical operation outcome. Navigation systems and medical robotic systems are becoming part of surgical practice, but they are still not easily accepted in clinics due to their disadvantageous cost benefit ratio: they offer solutions which are

FLEX-HAB: Flexible structures for future habitat solutions

13th Cycle, 2017, Politecnico di Milano

The project will be concentrated on creating a technology push for a new material. The MadFlex (PCT WO2016120785 A1) is a lightweight asymmetric composite material panel, having a sandwich-like structure. It exhibits two order-of-magnitude difference in bending stiffness, depending by the direction of the applied bending moment, thanks to a reversible buckling phenomenon of one

DREAM 3: DRone tEchnology for wAter resources and hydrologic hazards Monitoring 3

13th Cycle, 2017, Politecnico di Milano

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation

PCV: Personal Commuting Vehicles

2010, 6th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

With a seating capacity of two and a small footprint, a Personal Commuting Vehicle perfectly fully reflects the requirements in personal mobility of most commuters – because most trips are taken alone (In European cities, the average commute occupancy rate is 1.1-1.2 persons per vehicle). Moreover PCV should be as safe, stable, and energy efficient
