NemoDrive

Research Projects

Nemodrive brings together a group of motivated researchers with the required resources and support to build a self-driving car that will be tested on the UPB campus streets. The prototype will be developed to tackle the particularities of campus and other local roads. In this context, some of the most recurring challenges of self-driving cars will be empirically put to test, in a small scale, un-controlled environment.

Nemodrive is founded on a desire that drives both its theoretical as well as empirical aspirations: to continuously drive interest and understanding of machine learning.

Intelligent Agent for Recipe Recommendation Based on Visual Identification of Available Ingredients

Research Projects

-The Intelligent Agent for Recipe Recommendation Based on Visual Identification of Available Ingredients (IntAli) project has as objectives the development of a software agent capable of recommending recipes to users based on what ingredients they have available in their fridge, to research, propose and validate methods for image-based recognition of ingredients placed on shelves of a fridge. In addition, IntAli has as objectives to create semantic models of the knowledge in the project for information querying and extraction, to build recommender systems for recipes, to analyze user interaction and feedback, as well as to design and build a prototype smart-fridge which integrates the sub-systems proposed in the project.

Subsidiary Project: 20175/30.10.2019, part of NETIO P_40_270 53/05.09.2016.

A Context Management Middleware Servicing Ambient Intelligence Applications

Research Projects

The objective of this project is the creation of an open source context management middleware solution presenting rich features that alleviate context-aware application development. Based on the existing platform CONSERT, developed in the AIMAS laboratory, the work improves upon CONSERT with: performance improvement and modularisation of the reasoning engine to support applications of variable complexity requirements, development of an IDE for context modeling and deployment to facilitate context-aware application programming based on the CONSERT Middleware, and advanced options for OSGi and Docker based deployments of CONSERT processing units to address dynamic change of context within an application.

The CONSERT project is financed by “Exploratory Grants” programme, PNIII.

Integrated Solution for Innovative Elderly Care

Research Projects

INCARE product is a software platform compatible with health devices, home automation sensors, robots and dedicated to the elderly and older adults living independently or in elderly care facilities. Our platform aims to help them live longer, more connected and more independent.

INCARE will turn national and European funded projects into viable products by building on two successful solutions developed within previous AAL and European projects. Both NITICS, funded within the AAL 2012 call, and RAPP, funded 2013-2016 through the EC through the 7th Framework Programme FP7, were designed to support elderly people to live independently in their home environment and social circle. Read more about these projects at NITICS and RAPP.

The INCARE project is partially funded by the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) – European Commission.

Indoor and outdoor NITICSplus solution for dementia challenges

Research Projects

IONIS will offer fully integrated and validated solutions for health monitoring, home automation, personal agenda with reminders, alerts, caregiver administrative tools. The platform will integrate technologies and services that can address dementia specific challenges and offer support to both caretakers and caregivers: location based services for indoor localization, LBS for object localization by integration of own solutions based on embedded Linux and commercial Bluetooth tags, LBS for outdoor localization and geofencing to allow dementia sufferers to enjoy outdoor activities and perform essential task such as shopping or visiting, alerting and easy communication through one-button calls to designated caregivers, sleep quality monitoring through non-wearable sensors, recommending outdoor activities according to the level of indoor effort extracted from mobility patterns and sleep quality. AI-MAS is member of the consortium.

The IONIS project is founded by the EU Active and Assisted Living Programme.
