This paper describes a novel architecture that aims to create template for the implementation of an IT platform, supporting deployment and integration different digital twin subsystems compose complex urban intelligence system. In more detail, proposed Smart City has following main purposes: (i) facilitating in cloud environment; (ii) effectively storing, integrating, managing, sharing huge amount heterogeneous data acquired produced by each subsystem, using lake; (iii) exchange sharing;...
This article describes an enhanced telepresence robot named ROBIN, part of a telecare system derived from the GIRAFFPLUS project for supporting and monitoring older adults at home. ROBIN is integrated in sensor-rich environment that aims to continuously monitor physical psychological wellbeing persons living alone. The caregivers (formal/informal) can communicate through it with their assisted persons. Long-term trials real houses highlighted several user requirements inspired improvements...
Abstract This article is a retrospective overview of work performed in the domain Active Assisted Living over span almost 18 years. The authors have been creating and refining artificial intelligence (AI) robotics solutions to support older adults maintaining their independence improving quality life. goal this identify strong features general lessons learned from those experiences conceive guidelines new research directions for future deployment, also relying on an analysis similar efforts....
The development of a Social Intelligence System based on artificial intelligence is one the cutting edge technologies in Assistive Robotics. Such systems need to create an empathic interaction with users; therefore, it os required include Emotion Recognition (ER) framework which has run, near real-time, together several other intelligent services. Most low-cost commercial robots, however, although more accessible by users and healthcare facilities, have balance costs effectiveness, resulting...
Socially assistive robotics (SAR) aims at designing robots capable of guaranteeing social interaction to human users in a variety assistance scenarios that range, e.g., from giving reminders for medications monitoring Activity Daily Living, advices promote an healthy lifestyle psychological monitoring. Among possible users, frail older adults deserve special focus as they present rich variability terms both alternative (e.g., hospital or domestic environments) and caring needs could change...
The Cathedral of Noto partially collapsed on March 13th, 1996, after being damaged by the 1990 earthquake. Following removal ruins and geometrical survey remains, an experimental investigation was carried out site in laboratory. aims were: to understand causes collapse know if some damages structure existed prior earthquake, clearly state whether remaining piers could be saved or had reconstructed test possibility repair injection structural elements. Laboratory DIS, Politecnico Milan,...
One of the main challenges social robots concerns ability to guarantee robust, contextualized and intelligent behavior capable supporting continuous personalized interaction with different users over time. This implies that robot behaviors should consider specificity a person (e.g., personality, preferences, assistive needs), context as well dynamics interaction. Ideally, have "mind" properly interact in real environments allowing them continuously adapt exhibit engaging behaviors. The...
The Cathedral of Noto, built in the eighteenth century, and damaged by an earthquake occurred 1990 collapsed partially evening March 13, 1996. removal parts had to be carried out following a methodology which did not have any existing guideline. After provisional structures were for safety site, survey site was traditional geodetic techniques aereal photogrammetry ruins. Every recoverable block piece material cleaned, catalogued removed carefully stratigraphic methodology. All materials are...
As life expectancy increases, social and health assistance requires sustainable affordable solutions possibly usable from one's own domestic environment. In this article, we propose a transformer-based approach combined with <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">task-planning</i> system enhanced AI sub-modules to run on low-cost telepresence robots in order support more advanced autonomous services. The proposed allows dynamically...
Socially assistive robots should provide users with personalized assistance within a wide range of scenarios such as hospitals, home or social settings and private houses. Different people may have different needs both at the cognitive/physical support level in relation to preferences interaction. Consequently typology tasks way is delivered can change according person whom robot interacting. The authors' long-term research goal realization an advanced cognitive system able multiple...
The Urban Intelligence (UI) paradigm conceived by CNR consists of an ecosystem digital technologies joined within a Digital Twin (DT) the city aimed at improving governance towards goals addressed also UN Agenda 2030, such as urban environment, sustainability and resilience, wellbeing quality life, local development, social inclusion. In particular, UI provides set candidate policies in complex scenarios, supports policy makers stakeholders designing shared, evidence-based, integrated...
Among more dramatic effects, the COVID-19 scenario also raised need for new online information and communication services, promoting spread of software solutions whose usefulness will last well beyond pandemic situation. Particularly in cultural heritage domain, it has been unveiled relevance AI-based approaches, able to dynamically aggregate making them available a customized fruition aimed individual growth. Here, we integrate machine learning techniques automatic generation contents an...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems should offer services to the users that be designed, tested, and delivered in real scenarios gain robustness. This paper explores issues of creating end-to-end for older adults their caregivers deploying an AAL system at home. It describes work done designing added value starting from a state-of-the-art continuous data gathering infrastructure. The presents general idea its basic ingredients, then it focuses on top layer. In particular, dwells used...
