Energy Park: Smart Grid and Mobility for an Energy Park

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

In the age of urbanization, mountain areas are facing a continuous depopulation and a decrease in socio-economic standards, which entails a disharmony development leading to a substantial marginalization of these territories. Energy park project intends to emphasize the strength points of the alpine areas, exploiting the use of new technologies and innovation in order to […]

HyperSMS: GOING HYPERSONIC, Spaceplane Multifunctional Structures

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The HyperSMS project is devoted to the identification of a solution for achieving reusability of space vehicles and thus increasing space access capability. What really is the obstacle for the realization of a truly reusable space vehicle is the flight phase called re-entry, when the space vehicle impacts with the Planetary atmosphere at hypersonic velocity.

MEM-BRAIN: MEMristor synapses for BRAIN computing

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

In the context of this project, we applied the principles of neuromorphic computing to the classification of EMG signals, proposing an innovative approach to prostheses control. Although the market already provides high-tech solutions in fact, the process of adapting industry-standard prostheses to patients is nowadays complex and lengthy. For some aspects, it can be said

ESTIA: collaborative platform for emergencies in aree sparse

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The ESTIA project is an innovative product-service solution for earthquake-related housing emergency in ‘aree sparse’, meaning all those areas far from the main urban centres, where housing emergencies cannot be tackled through standard procedures (i.e. large makeshift camps). The groundwork of the project was the collaboration with two external partners: AcellTec Ltd and Protezione Civile
