Here you can find a list of project proposals for the courses of "Laboratorio di Intelligenza Artificiale e Robotica" (5 CFU for each student) and "Soft Computing" (1 CFU for each student)
Contents
Affective Computing
| Title: | Affective VideoGames |  |
|---|---|---|
| Description: | The goal of this activity is to develop an interactive video game (Car game, Shoot them up, Strategic game ..) able to adapt its behaviour in order to maximize your enjoyment. The game will measure your excitement by analizing your biological signals, which mirror your emotional state. The system will be able to adjust some parameters (i.e difficulty of car game circuits, opponets strength ...) in order to keep you egnagemet constant: "In your flow zone!".
Project phases:
These projects allow to experiment with biological-data acquisition tools and videogames design. Each project consists on the realization of one or more phases depending on the difficulty/cfu to be achieved and to the competences of the candidate(s) | |
| Tutor: | Cristiano Alessandro (alessandro-AT-elet-DOT-polimi-DOT-it), Simone Tognetti (togetti-AT-elet-DOT-polimi-DOT-it) | |
| Start: | Anytime | |
| Number of students: | 1 to 3 | |
| CFU: | 2.5 to 20 |
| Title: | Affective recognition in multimedia contexts |  |
|---|---|---|
| Description: | The goal of this activity is to develop an interactive multimedia application (advertisement, e-learning, reccomenadation system) able to capture your emotional state (interests, excitement, anger, joy) while whatching to images, sounds etc. The application will measure your excitement by analizing your biological signals, which mirror your emotional state. The system could be used to give feedback on the quality of multimedia content (i.e goodness of the advertisement, enjoyment of the movie ...)
Project phases:
These projects allow to experiment with biological-data acquisition tools and multimedia application design. The project consists on the realization of one or more phases depending on the difficulty/cfu to be achieved and to the competences of the candidate(s) | |
| Tutor: | Cristiano Alessandro (alessandro-AT-elet-DOT-polimi-DOT-it), Simone Tognetti (togetti-AT-elet-DOT-polimi-DOT-it) | |
| Start: | Anytime | |
| Number of students: | 1 to 3 | |
| CFU: | 2.5 to 20 |
| Title: | Affective robotics |  |
|---|---|---|
| Description: | The goal of this activity is to develop an rehabilitation robotic game able to capture your emotional state (interests, excitement, anger, joy, stress) while intereacting with the robot. The application will measure your excitement by analizing your biological signals, which mirror your emotional state. The system could be used to adapt the therapy (executed by the game) according to the patien's needs. We believe the quality of the theraphy is related to the subject's emotional state. The long term goal is to keep the user into a specific emotional state in order to maximize the theraphy efficacy.

| Title: | Driving companions |  |
|---|---|---|
| Description: | The goal of this activity is to develop an application that is able to capture your emotional state (stress, attention level .. ) while driving standard cars. The application will measure the driver's stress level by analizing his biological signals, which mirror the phisiological state, and could be used to give feedbacks to the driver in dangerous situations.

The problems that will be proposed are still unknown. As soon as the domains will be published, the work will start by analyzing their main characteristics and, then we will identify which RL algorithms are most suited for solving such problems. After an implementation phase, the project will required a long experimental period to tune the parameters of the learning algorithms in order to improve the performance as much as possible. | |
