AIRWiki 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 AIRLab are working on.

If you are looking for a description of what the AIRLab is, who works in it, and what scientific interests they have, the best place is the [http://www.airlab.elet.polimi.it/ AIRLab website], but if you want an overview of what we are actually ''doing'', AIRWiki is the right place!

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].  
−
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]]
+
−
These areas are described in detail on [http://www.airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/research_areas this page] of [http://www.airlab.elet.polimi.it/ AIRLab's website].

−
== Projects ==
+
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.  
−
Research work in the above areas is done within '''projects'''. Details about active and finished projects are available at the [[Projects]] page. Ongoing projects are covered as soon as enough - and structured enough - information about them is available.
+
  
−
Information about how to set up and manage a project page can be found at [[Projects - HOWTO]].
+
[[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]].
  
−
== How do I access the contents of this wiki? ==
+
We have always worked both on theoretical aspects and on applications, developed in [[Funded Projects|projects]] funded by national and international agencies and companies.
−
AIRWiki is conceptually composed of two layers:
+
−
* a '''public layer''', visible to everyone on the internet, containing information about the AIRLab and a description of the projects we work on;
+
−
* a '''private layer''', accessible to [[registered users]] only, used as a work-in-progress repository of notes about such projects.
+
  
−
The public layer of AIRWiki is (relatively) stable: it is mainly constituted by documentation about past and ongoing projects, accessible through the [[Projects]] page. The private layer, instead, is a flexible device to store information and quickly share it between the people who work in the AIRLab. Much of this information will eventually be suitably formatted and moved to the public layer.
+
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].
  
−
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 namespaces defined within AIRWiki, such as User pages (namespace ''User'').
+
Many activities at AIRLab are covered by media as soon as they attract interest. You may find [[Media Coverage|here]] links to some of the past articles on newspapers and magazines.
  
−
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. For each public page, a discussion page is automatically created and associated to it: such discussion page is accessible by clicking the "discussion" tab on the top of the public page.
+
AIRLab participates to the EUrobotics AISBL, and is one of the [http://robotics.polimi.it robotics labs of Politecnico di Milano].
  
−
== How can I contribute? ==
+
AIRWiki supports many activities of researchers and students working at AIRLab. Follow the links at he "AIRWiki" tab.
−
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, and so on) just publish them on AIRWiki: it's easy and - dare we say it? - fun! As a guideline, consider putting on AIRWiki everything ''you'' would have liked to find there... instead of being forced to find out the hard way. And everything future students who will build upon your work would like to find.
+
AIRLab also occasionally participates at [[Events|events]].
−
 
+
−
At [[Projects - HOWTO]] you can find instructions and guidelines about how to set up a page for the project you work on and how to add new information to it.
+
−
 
+
−
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.

+
−
== The AIRLab ==
+
−
Work (generally speaking) is done somewhere, using something and to reach some goal ;-) For the AIRLab, the following links tell you...
+
−
* ...where: [[The Labs]]
+
−
* ...using what: [[What's in the AIRLab]]
+
−
* ...why: [[Projects]]
+
−

If you want details about who the professors and researchers working at the AIRLab are and what scientific work they do, just go to the [http://www.airlab.elet.polimi.it/ AIRLab website].

== AIRLab survival guide ==
+
−
Some things are neither scientific nor technical, but you must know them all the same to work in the AIRLab...
+
−
* [[Bureaucracy]] (administrative procedures)
+
−
* [[Tips'n'tricks]] (things that can save you much trouble)
+
−
* [[AIRLab rules]] (they are few and simple, but you have to follow them)

+
−
As we are on the subject of survival (read: how to avoid hurting yourself or others), remember that '''to work in the AIRLab you must know the [[Safety norms]] and comply with them'''.

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.
