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).
AIRWiki was born as a tool for teachers, researchers and students to share information about projects in an easy and quick way. However, it rapidly evolved into a display of the activities of AIRLab too: in this wiki, you may discover what we work on.
Contents
Research areas
At the AIRLab, we work on a broad range of topics, organized in the areas mentioned on the AIRLab Website.
The areas whose activities are supported by AIRWiki are listed here below.
In each page, you will find the ongoning and past projects, the project proposals and all sort of other info related to the activities in the area.
- Affective Computing
- Agents - Multiagent Systems - Agencies
- BioSignal Analysis
- Computational Intelligence and Games
- Computer Vision and Image Analysis
- E-Science
- Machine Learning
- Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence
- Robotics
- Social Software and Semantic Web
Here is a promo movie listing the current activities at AIRLab.
Project Proposals
Many proposals of course or thesis projects for students are currently available at the Project Proposals page. Look there for details.
AIRLab equipment
In the different sites robots, sensors, tools and equipment in general are available. You may find here what is available where, and how to have access to it.
AIRLab survival guide
Go to the AIRLab survival guide page to find all the information (bureocracy, how to write a thesis, rules, and more ...) you want to know and you dare not to ask.
Safety norms
People working in the AIRLab must know the Safety norms before being authorized to access the labs, and comply with them.
AIRLab Sites
AIRLab is physically located on different, each with different access rules. You may find here how to get and access them.
How can I use this wiki?
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).
The public layer of AIRWiki is relatively stable. The private layer is 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.
More information about how to access the private layer and how AIRWiki's layers actually work is available in this page.
How can I contribute?
Contribution to the wiki (i.e. creation and modification of pages) is limited to registered users.
If you are a registered user and 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: 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 everything future students who will build upon your 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.
Moreover, a wiki always needs help in terms of maintenance, linking between pages, shaping of a structure and so on. And well, in this very moment it also needs a logo ;-) If you want to help please send an email to either migliore (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it or eynard (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it.
How can I use this semantic wiki?
This wiki is using the Semantic MediaWiki extension, that helps to organize, search and browse the wiki's content. See the slides of the AIRWiki presentation.
The page SMW Project Workflow shows all the steps that have to be performed from the creation of a project proposal to the creation and management of a new user account and a project page, using semantic forms.
In the page Dynamic_Page_Generation you can find some directions to use semantic queries, to enrich page content with automatically generated lists and tables.
If you want to know more about how data are organized in this semantic wiki, see the AIRWiki Ontology page.
