Best Paper Award at IEEE I2MTC 2019
Congratulations to our team for winning the Best Paper Award for the paper “Qualification of Additive Manufactured Trabecular Structures Using a Multi-Insutrumental Approach” presented at the 2019 IEEE International Instrumentation …
Optical analysis of Trabecular structures
Rapid prototyping, known as 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing, is a process that allows the creation of 3D objects by depositing material layer by layer. The materials used vary: plastic …
Vision and safety for collaborative robotics
The communication and collaboration between humans and robots is one of main principles of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). In the next years, robots and humans will become co-workers, sharing …
Gesture control of robotic arm using the Kinect Module
The aim of this project is to create a remote control system for a robotic arm controlled by using the Kinect v2 sensor, to track the movements of the user arm, without …
The Smart Gym Concept
Goals Subjects with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) experience several limitations in their daily activities. Rehabilitative gait training by means of powered gait orthosis (PGO) has been shown to decrease the risk …
A depth-from-defocus (DFD) measurement system using a liquid lens objective for extended depth range
A novel Depth From Defocus (DFD) measurement system is has been developed. Here the extension of the measurement range is performed using an emergent technology based on liquid lenses. A …
A novel optical apparatus for the study of rolling contact wear/fatigue based on a high-speed camera and multiple-source laser illumination
Rolling contact wear/fatigue tests on wheel/rail specimens are important to produce wheels and rails of new materials for improved lifetime and performance, able to work in harsh environments and at …
Biomechanical models of human posture based on the dynamics of a disturbance
The objective of this research activity is to analyze and model the behavior of healthy subjects during equilibrium perturbations to understand how the posture strategies of a human subject changes from …
Automotive applications: Reverse engineering of a Ferrari MM
This project was performed to demonstrate the feasibility of using an optical 3d range sensor based on fringe projection (OPL-3D) to acquire the shell of the Ferrari Mille Miglia shown …
