AIRWiki was born as a tool for teachers, researchers and students to share information about projects in an easy way. However, it quickly evolved into a display of the activities of AIRLab too: in this wiki, you will find information about what we work on.

== [About this wiki] ==
+
=== How can I contribute? ===
+
If you are a [[Registered users|registered user]], your contribution is very welcome! AIRWiki is a collaborative effort. If you 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 by creating new pages and/or modifying existing ones. 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, in particular, everything that future students who will build upon your own work would like to find. 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.
+
 
+
=== Public and private layers ===
+
AIRWiki is composed of two layers:
+
* a '''public layer''', readable by everyone on the Internet and modifiable by AIRWiki's [[registered users]];
+
* a '''private layer''', reserved to the [[registered users]] (who can read and edit its contents): this includes the ''discussion pages'' associated to each public page.
+
 
+
The public layer of AIRWiki is relatively stable. The private layer -and especially the discussion pages it includes- are used by the people working on AIRLab's projects as a repository of all the information related to such projects. Eventually, much of the information in the private layer will be suitably formatted and moved to the public layer. For more information, see the [[layers]] page.
+
 
+
=== Wow, this is a ''semantic'' wiki! What does that mean? ===
+
This wiki is using the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ Semantic MediaWiki (SMW)] extension, that helps to organize, search and browse the wiki's content. To know how data are organized in this semantic wiki, see the [[AIRWiki Ontology]] page.
+
 
+
Refer to the [[SMW tutorial]] tutorial for information about how SMW is used by AIRWiki and how you can use the tools provided by SMW.

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.
