FIAMME: Finishing processes for additive manufactured metal components

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The FIAMME project consisted in developing a surface finishing process that could be effective on additively manufactured (AM) components with complex geometries. AM parts can reach average roughness (Ra) values up to 100 µm, which strongly affects the possible application of the component. The team focused on the surface finishing of internal mini-channels of an […]

Active Pedal: Evaluation of Business Opportunities for Bosch Active Pedal

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The Active Pedal is an innovative accelerator pedal developed by Robert Bosch GmbH which applies haptic stimuli (vibration, counterforce or knocking) under certain situations; the commercial target of the pedal is the automotive market, aiming to reduce the fuel consumption and to improve the safety during driving. The objective of this Alta Scuola Politecnica multidisciplinary

Technology allows people employed in certain jobs to work everywhere, as long as they have a laptop, a phone and internet connection. However, this does not mean that offices are no longer needed, especially in environments where creativity and problem-solving are daily activities. Human interaction is often the key to address such issues and come

MINT: Memristive Neuromorphics for Smart Internet of Things

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

This project focus on the evaluation of the memristive technology applied to a specific pattern recognition problem. In particular, we selected as pattern recognition problem the arrhythmia detection and we compared the memristive technology performance with the currently used one based on classical technology. The memristor is a newly discovered electronic component that can be

WaLi: Water for Life

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Water resources are the core of any sustainable development, but they have been highly affected by unsustainable development and lack of appropriate government policies, and that brought the constantly increasing demand for fresh water. If the balance between demand and availability of a limited resource will not be restored, the world will have to cope

MAP: Marginal Asset Project

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Marginal Assets Project (MAP) has the aim to propose practices and recommendations for converting disused thermoelectric power plants maintaining their industrial heritage. In order to do so, the team committed to the project has been structured by choosing students owning different backgrounds and skills, thus allowing to cover all the fundamental aspects required to achieve

FoodMade4U: Challenging 3D food printing

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

3D food printing integrates the technology and techniques of 3D printing and additive manufacturing, together with gastronomy. Alongside Dutch research institution TNO (The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research), the Italian pasta goliath, Barilla S.p.A., has developed a prototype 3D printer dedicated to the food market. Although the possibilities for this type of novel device

S[m]ART: Yummy it, reduce food wastage

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The ASP group developed their activity working in parallel with the S [m2] art research project, winner of the MIUR Smart Cities and Social Innovation tender (SCN_00325). In particular, starting from the same concept of S [m2] art, they had the task of designing some alternative proposals, even more innovative. The member group belongs to

BRIDGE: Bridging the gap between Industry and Academia

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Seeing the need to have more communication skill training done in the academic sector, gave birth to this project being recommended by IBM and further harnessed by the Alta Scuola Politecnica advisors. To explore the transition for this work, a multi-criteria analysis is performed. The first step is the Stakeholder analysis, necessary to deeply investigate

MACLoC: Multi-Axis Climbing Load Cells for performance analysis in sport climbing

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Climbing is a complex task, involving strength, balance and coordination. The performance of a climber is experience based and more insights in the mechanics of climbing could be gained by measuring the contact forces of the climber, for the centre of mass calculation in real time. A multiaxial load cell was developed to measure the
