IEEE BIO-SPITCH.D. UCBM-POLITO

online

Here's a brand-new event collaboratively organized by the IEEE Student Branches of Politecnico di Torino (PoliTo) and Università Campus Bio-Medico (UCBM) of Rome. Bio-sPitch.D was conceived after the reciprocal recognition of similar events organized by the two branches, where PhD students of these universities discuss their research to share their knowledge with other IEEE members, eventually improving networking. The UCBM Branch of Rome organizes the sPeach.D. (https://edu.ieee.org/it-unicampus/speach-d/), while the PoliTo branch organizes the PitchD (https://r8.ieee.org/sb-polito/pitchd-the-phds-pitch/). Therefore, we decided to co-organize a brand-new event, named IEEE Bio-sPitch.D., where Andrea (PoliTo) and Joshua (UCBM) will talk about their bio-related PhD research topics. Joshua Di Tocco (Università Campus Bio-Medico) will present a talk entitled: "Smart textiles for respiratory rate and joint monitoring" Andrea Mongardi (Politecnico di Torino) will present a talk entitled "A bio-inspired embedded system for sEMG-based gesture recognition" - Date: 16 December 2020 - 5.30 PM - Location: YouTube The event will be the first opportunity for us to improve the collaboration and networking among italian IEEE Student Branches. Join us to listen to their pitches and to meet the members of the other student branch. The event will be streamed on the Politecnico di Torino IEEE Student Branch YouTube channel! The event will be supported by: - IEEE Women in Engineering Politecnico di Torino - IEEE Italy Section - IEEE Sensors Council Italy Chapter - IEEE youngprofessional Affinity Group Italy - www.ingegneriabiomedica.org UCBM official page: https://edu.ieee.org/it-unicampus/ieee-bio-spitch-d-ucbm-polito/ PoliTo official page: https://r8.ieee.org/sb-polito/ieee-bio-spitch-d-ucbm-polito/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/IEEEPoliTOStudentBranch

Interaction control in humans and with robots

ABSTRACT My lecture will present experiments and computational modelling to i) understand how humans learn to skilfully interact with their environment and with each other, and ii) endow robots with similarly successful control behaviours. Impedance control describes how biological or robotic motor commands can shape the mechanical interaction with the environment. We have previously provided the first clear experimental evidence of impedance control in humans and described the underlying computational mechanism, which led to a novel adaptive behaviour for robots. This talk will first present how this behaviour can be/is used for haptic exploration of rigid and soft objects in robots and humans. I will then concentrate on our recent research to understand how humans exchange haptic information through touch in order to coordinate their actions. By examining the behaviours of individuals when their right hands are physically connected, we could show how haptic information enables humans to estimate partners’ motor plan and use it to improve one own performance. Embodied as a robot partner, this model was verified as it induced the same improvements in motor performance as a human partner. We further elucidated how the sensory exchange is influenced by the interaction mechanics and how its benefits increase with the number of partners. These results elucidate the haptic communication taking place between physically interacting humans and promise collaborative robot systems with human-like assistance. BIOSKETCH Dr. Etienne Burdet is Chair of Human Robotics at the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in UK. He is also a visiting Professor at University College London. He holds an MSc in Mathematics (1990), an MSc in Physics (1991), and a PhD in Robotics (1996), all from ETH-Zurich. He was a postdoctoral fellow with TE Milner from McGill University, Canada, JE Colgate from Northwestern University, USA and Mitsuo Kawato of ATR in Japan. Professor Burdet's group uses an integrative approach of neuroscience and robotics to: i) investigate human motor control, and ii) design efficient systems for training and rehabilitation, which are tested in clinical trials and commercialised.   Locandina_Seminario_Burdet

Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT

The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work, and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by technology advances that are commensurate with those of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions. The speed, breadth, and depth of this revolution are forcing us to rethink how countries should develop, how organizations create value, and even what it means to be human. The World Economy Forum 2019 (WEF), a symposium to discuss the emerging trends of economy, technology, environment, and health, discussed "Fourth Industrial Revolution" concluding that the revolution capabilities will create a higher top and bottom line value through faster design, novel products, reduced risks, and elimination of waste. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will help countries and businesses to achieve sustainable growth. All these deep changes are possible also thanks to the recent developments in the field of metrology. Actually, the monitoring and the control of remote physical phenomena require the development of new sensors, acquisition techniques, data analysis, new architecture of data acquisition systems, and so on. MetroInd4.0&IoT aims to discuss the contributions both of the metrology for the development of Industry 4.0 and IoT and the new opportunities offered by Industry 4.0 and IoT for the development of new measurement methods and instruments. MetroInd4.0&IoT wants to federate stakeholders active in developing instrumentation and measurement methods for Industry 4.0 and IoT, with new technologies for metrology-assisted production, component measurement, sensors and associated signal conditioning, and calibration methods for electronic test.

INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON WEARABLE SENSORS IN SPORT

MOVE TO 2022 EDITION   The field of sport is changing rapidly due to emerging opportunities fostered by technological development. Driven by hardware miniaturization, as well as by advances in computing power, storage capacity, network connectivity, and software capabilities, the use of wearable sensors is becoming increasingly widespread and is set to transform both amateur and professional sports. Individual athletes, sports teams, coaches, and physicians can be technologically equipped on the field, big amounts of data are made available through the Internet of Things and new stakeholders and decision-makers are involved in this technological and social revolution. In this framework, the School aims to provide an overview of current trends in wearable technologies in sport, dive deeper into the working principles of wearable sensors, and show how to process relevant physiological and biomechanical signals. Exciting examples of how wearables are impacting users’ lives, sport sciences and industry will be presented from the different stakeholders’ perspective, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the positive force of sports in a global society.
