Welcome to AIRWiki! This is the wiki supporting AIRLab, the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory at the Department of Electronics and Information of the Politecnico di Milano, the Technical University of Milan (Italy).
AIRLab was established by prof. Marco Somalvico in 1971 as one of the first groups of researchers in Italy working on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Computer Vision.
Researchers working at AIRLab have always followed and leaded the evolution of AI and Robotics. The research areas we are presently focusing on are listed here.
We have always worked both on theoretical aspects and on applications, developed in projects funded by national and international agencies and companies.
Reasearches of AIRLab presently manage one of the largest curricula in Italy on our topics, producing each year more than 50 master theses and about 10-15% of the PhD theses of the Computer Science and Engineering Section at DEI.
Contents
Courses
Several courses are related to AIRLab activities. Here are their descriptions. From 2010-2011 a new organization of courses for master thesis has been devised, and two suggested tracks have been dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and Vision among the ones proposed for Computer Engineering.
Media coverage
Many activities at AIRLab are covered by media as soon as they attract interest. You may find here some links to past articles on newspapers and magazines.
Working in the AIRLab
Project Proposals
Are you a student interested in working on AIRLab projects? Many proposals of projects (course or thesis) for students are currently available at the Project Proposals page.
On the other hand, if you are looking for information about ongoing and past AIRLab projects, follow the Research Areas links (see above).
Equipment
Robots, sensors, tools, and equipment in general are available in the different AIRLab sites. You can find here what is available, where, and how to obtain access to it.
AIRLab survival guide
Go to the AIRLab survival guide page to find all the information (bureaucracy, how to write a thesis, rules, and more ...) you want to know and you dare not to ask for (or you dare to ask for, but prefer to get right now).
Safety
All people working in the AIRLab are required to know (and comply with) the safety norms and the rules of the lab.
About this wiki
How can I contribute?
If you are a registered user, your contribution is very welcome! AIRWiki is a collaborative effort. If you have information you want to share (description of what you do, links to useful sources of information, HOWTOs, and so on) just publish them on AIRWiki by creating new pages and/or modifying existing ones. It's easy and - dare we say it? - fun!
As a guideline, consider putting on AIRWiki everything you would have liked to find there... instead of being forced to find out the hard way. And, in particular, everything that future students who will build upon your own work would like to find. At Projects - HOWTO you can find instructions and guidelines about how to set up a page for the project you work on and how to add new information to it.
Public and private layers
AIRWiki is composed of two layers:
- a public layer, readable by everyone on the Internet and modifiable by AIRWiki's registered users;
- a private layer, reserved to the registered users (who can read and edit its contents): this includes the discussion pages associated to each public page.
The public layer of AIRWiki is relatively stable. The private layer -and especially the discussion pages it includes- are used by the people working on AIRLab's projects as a repository of all the information related to such projects. Eventually, much of the information in the private layer will be suitably formatted and moved to the public layer. For more information, see the layers page.
Wow, this is a semantic wiki! What does that mean?
This wiki is using the Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) extension, that helps to organize, search and browse the wiki's content. To know how data are organized in this semantic wiki, see the AIRWiki Ontology page.
Refer to the SMW tutorial tutorial for information about how SMW is used by AIRWiki and how you can use the tools provided by SMW.
