Collaborazione IDSIA - Ticinoscienza: online il primo contributo

Ticinoscienza, il giornale online che informa sulle attività di ricerca, pubblica e privata nel Canton Ticino, ha lanciato una collaborazione con IDSIA USI-SUPSI per fare luce su alcuni aspetti della intelligenza artificiale, una disciplina sempre più sotto i riflettori, ma che non è solo "ChatGPT". Il primo contributo, di Elena Buson, presenta lo studio di Loris Roveda su di una interfaccia innovativa uomo-robot basata sulla lettura dei segnali cerebrali. Altri argomenti saranno presentati nelle prossime edizioni con una cadenza mensile.

The Remit project is awarded the Dalle Molle label for the quality of life

While it might sound a bit incestuous that a Dalle Molle institute receives a Dalle Molle prize, actually the Dalle Molle Foundation is a totally independent organisation and we are pleased to announce that we received the prize from "Fondation Dalle Molle pour la qualité de la vie" for our project "Remotely-assisted Enhanced Mirror Therapy (REMiT)" presenting our idea of telerehabilitation. Our tool uses virtual reality and a hand exoskeleton to enhance mirror therapy for the recovery of lost hand functionalities. By allowing remote connection to the virtual therapy environment, we aim to improve the conditions of both patients and therapists. Congratulations to our IDSIA colleagues Gabriele Abbate and Alessandro Giusti, and Luca Randazzo (from Emovo Care)

Best Paper Award at ACM EWSN’23 SPICES workshop

Ph.D. student Elia Cereda, Prof. Alessandro Giusti, and Dr. Daniele Palossi received the Best Paper Award for their paper “Secure Deep Learning-based Distributed Intelligence on Pocket-sized Drones” at the 2nd Workshop on Security and Privacy in Connected Embedded Systems (SPICES) during the ACM EWSN’23 conference in Rende, Italy, 25-27 September 2023. Our work proposes a secure computational paradigm for deep learning workloads that allows resource-constrained devices, such as nano-drones, to take advantage of powerful remote computation nodes while preserving security against external attackers.

New IDSIA paper on Springer Nature Scientifc Reports

Loris Roveda, senior researcher at IDSIA, has co-authored the article "Brain-computer interface for robot control with eye artifacts for assistive applications" which was published on Springer's Nature Scientific Reports. The proposed study has developed a new brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables the control of an assistive robot through electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, specifically utilizing impulses generated by eye movement. The methodology was designed to allow individuals with disabilities to interact with the surrounding environment through an assistive robot.
