AIRWiki is AIRLab's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki]. It was born as a tool for teachers, researchers and students to share information about projects in an easy and quick way. However, it quickly evolved into a display of the activities of the Lab too: you are invited to browse this wiki, to discover what we at the AIRLab are working on.

== Research areas ==
 
At the AIRLab we work on a very broad range of topics, organized in these areas:
 
* [[Agents, Multiagent Systems, Agencies]]
 
* [[BioSignal Analysis]]
 
* [[Computer Vision and Image Analysis]]
 
* [[E-Science]]
 
* [[Machine Learning]]
 
* [[Ontologies and Semantic Web]]
 
* [[Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence]]
 
* [[Robotics]]
 
* [[Soft Computing]]
 
  
== Projects ==

Research work in the above areas is done within ''projects''. Details about active and finished projects are available at the [[Projects]] page.

+
This is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] supporting AIRLab, the '''Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory''' at the [http://www.deib.polimi.it/eng/home-page Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering] of [http://www.english.polimi.it/ Politecnico di Milano].  
AIRWiki is conceptually composed of two ''layers'': a public layer and a private layer.
+
* The '''public layer''' contains a description of the activities performed within the AIRLab, and is visible to everyone on the internet.
+
* The '''private layer''' can be accessed, and modified, by [[registered users]] only.
+
  
AIRWiki is a work in progress, but its public layer is (relatively) stable and describes the Lab and the projects we work on. The private layer of AIRWiki, instead, contains work notes written from the people who are presently working on those projects. Such notes, when ready, will eventually be suitably formatted and moved to the public layer... but right now they aren't, and would not be useful for the general public.
+
AIRLab was established by prof. Marco Somalvico in 1971 as one of the first groups of researchers in Italy working on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Computer Vision.  
  
In operative terms, the public layer is the main [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces namespace] of AIRWiki: this includes the Main Page you are currently looking at and the web pages that open when you click most of the links within AIRWiki. The private layer, on the other hand, is composed of the pages belonging to all the other [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces namespaces] defined within AIRWiki, such as User pages (namespace ''User'').
+
[[People|Researchers]] working at AIRLab have always followed and leaded the evolution of AI and Robotics. The research areas we are presently focusing on are listed [[Research Areas|here]].
  
The most important pages of the private layer of AIRWiki are those in the ''Talk'' namespace, called '''discussion pages'''. These are the pages where users write their work notes. A discussion page is automatically associated to each public page, and is accessible by clicking the "discussion" tab on the top of the public page.
+
We have always worked both on theoretical aspects and on applications, developed in [[Funded Projects|projects]] funded by national and international agencies and companies.
  
== How can I contribute? ==
+
AIRLab [[People|professors]]  presently manage one of the [[Teaching|largest curricula]] in Italy on AI and Robotics, producing each year more than 50 master theses and about 10-15% of the PhD theses of the [http://www.deib.polimi.it/eng/computer-science-and-engineering Computer Science and Engineering Section] at [http://www.deib.polimi.it/eng/home-page DEIB].
Contribution to the wiki (i.e. creation and modification of pages) is limited to [[Registered users]].

If you are a registered user and have information you want to share (description of what you do, links to useful sources of information, HOWTOs about lab tools, and so on) just publish them on AIRWiki: it's as easy as creating a new page! Moreover, a wiki always needs help in terms of maintenance, linking between pages, shaping of a structure and so on. And well, in this very moment it also needs a logo ;-) If you want to help please send an email to either migliore (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it or eynard (at) elet (dot) polimi (dot) it.

Students at AIRLab.

Welcome to AIRLab!

This is the wiki supporting AIRLab, the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano.

AIRLab was established by prof. Marco Somalvico in 1971 as one of the first groups of researchers in Italy working on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Computer Vision.

Researchers working at AIRLab have always followed and leaded the evolution of AI and Robotics. The research areas we are presently focusing on are listed here.

We have always worked both on theoretical aspects and on applications, developed in projects funded by national and international agencies and companies.

AIRLab professors presently manage one of the largest curricula in Italy on AI and Robotics, producing each year more than 50 master theses and about 10-15% of the PhD theses of the Computer Science and Engineering Section at DEIB.

Many activities at AIRLab are covered by media as soon as they attract interest. You may find here links to some of the past articles on newspapers and magazines.

AIRLab participates to the EUrobotics AISBL, and is one of the robotics labs of Politecnico di Milano.

AIRWiki supports many activities of researchers and students working at AIRLab. Follow the links at he "AIRWiki" tab.

AIRLab also occasionally participates at events.
