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 AIRLab too: you are invited to browse this wiki, to discover what we work 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!

== Research areas ==
+
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]].
  
== Project Proposals (for courses, theses, ...) ==
+
We have always worked both on theoretical aspects and on applications, developed in [[Funded Projects|projects]] funded by national and international agencies and companies.
Proposals of course or thesis projects for students are available at the following pages:
+
  
[[First Level Course Projects]]
+
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].
  
[[First Level Theses]]
+
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.
  
[[Master Level Course Projects]]
+
AIRLab participates to the EUrobotics AISBL, and is one of the [http://robotics.polimi.it robotics labs of Politecnico di Milano].
  
[[Master Level Theses]]
+
AIRWiki supports many activities of researchers and students working at AIRLab. Follow the links at he "AIRWiki" tab.
  
If you are interested in any proposal you can contact the tutors by email.
+
AIRLab also occasionally participates at [[Events|events]].
 
+
== How do I access the contents of this wiki? ==
+
AIRWiki is conceptually 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).
+
More information about how such layers are actually implemented and how to access the private layer is available in the [[Layers]] page.
+
 
+
The public layer of AIRWiki is relatively stable: it is mainly constituted by documentation about past and ongoing projects, accessible through the [[Projects]] page. In addition to that, it includes useful information about the AIRLab (see [[#The AIRLab]]) and tutorials for AIRLab users (see [[#AIRLab survival guide]]).
+
 
+
The private layer is used by the people working on the projects as a repository of all the information related to them. Much of this information will eventually be suitably formatted and moved to the public layer.
+
 
+
== How can I contribute? ==
+
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.
+
 
+
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].
+
 
+
Some experiments require external controlled conditions (no mobiles must ring, no people have to talk...) and particular instruments( [[Electroencephalographs]], [[ProComp Infiniti]]). If this is the case, you can book the [[IIT-Lab]] (of course you have to be registered first!).
+
 
+
== 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.
