Wiki Page:	Designing Living Objects
Title:	Designing Living Objects
Description:	The aim of this activity is to investigate how one or more objects in an antropic environment (home, office, hospital) can be designed and implemented to have a character and to move, having nice interactions with people. The work to be done concerns the analysis, definition, design and implementation of at least one of these objects.

Wiki Page:	Robot Games
Title:	Robot Games
Description:	Projects may include the design of an interactive game on an existing or a new robot, and its evaluation. These projects allow to experiment with real mobile robots and interaction devices. Some games may be designed for disabled children. The project can be considered a MS thesis if it can produce a new game and, possibly, a new robot, and includes adapting the behavior of the robot to the player.

Wiki Page:	Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Visual Navigation
Title:	A critical review on the state of the art in visual navigation for unmanned aerial vehicles
Description:	Visual navigation is becoming more and more important in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The goal of this thesis/tesina is to review in a structured way the current state of art in the field from different perspective: research teams, projects, platforms, tasks, algorithms. The latter is the most important aspect obviously and the project should provide a clear view on what is done today, and obtaining which results. Two kind of operations are of most interest: tracking of fixed and mobile targets (and how this impact on the UAV path), navigation on a geo-referenced map. Implementing one of the standard approaches on a mini unmanned aerial vehicle would be the ideal ending of the work to turn it into a thesis. Material: papers from major journals and conferences reports from research projects Expected outcome: a report with a detailed review of the state of the art organized according to the main relevant aspects (to be identified during the work) an implementation of some state of the art algorithms for tracking or navigation Required skills or skills to be acquired: proficiency in english basic understanding of computer vision basic understanding of filtering techniques
