Odometric system based on circular points +	Development of an odometric sensor based on an uncalibrated camera pointing the floor based on circular points. The system should extend an existing prototype introducing a robust mechanism for tracking of feature points, and by integrating possibly available information about the robot motion. '''Material:''' *existing prototypical implementation of the system '''Expected outcome:''' *an odometric sensor for planar odometry with uncalibrated camera '''Required skills or skills to be acquired:''' *Good mathematical background *Backgroundd in computer vision *C++ programming under Linux
Odometric system for robots based on laser mice +	We developed an odometric system for robots by combining the reading of several laser mice. The system consists of a master PIC-based board and several slave boards where the sensors employed in optical mice are located. The readings are collected on the PIC and sent on the serial port to a PC which elaborates and combines the x and y readings in order to obtain a x,y,theta estimation of the movement of the robot. The aim of the project is first to improve the current design of the PIC-based board, and realize a new working prototype, and then to implement and evaluate different algorithms able to estimate more precisely the x,y and theta odometric data from the mice readings. Experience with PIC-based systems and some experience with electronics circuits is a plus. Students are supposed to redesign the electronic board, improve the firmware of the PIC, and work on the algorithm that estimates the robot position on the PC. It would be also interesting to evaluate the possibility to embed the optimization and estimation algorithms in the firmware of the PIC in order to produce a stand-alone device. Ask the tutors of the project for extra material, such as data-sheets and other documentation.

Poit cloud SLAM with Microsoft Kinect +	Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the basic functionalities required from an autonomous robot. In the past we have developed a framework for building SLAM algorithm based on the use of the Extended Kalman Filter and vision sensors. A recently available vision sensor which has tremendous potential for autonomous robots is the Microsoft Kinect RGB-D sensor. The thesis aims at the integration of the Kinect sensor in the framework developed for the development of a point cloud base system for SLAM. '''Material:''' *Kinect sensor and libraries *A framework for multisensor SLAM *PCL2.0 library for dealing with point clouds '''Expected outcome:''' *Algorithm able to build 3D point cloud representation of the observed scene *Point clouds processing could be used to improve the accuracy of the filter as well '''Required skills or skills to be acquired:''' *Basic background in computer vision *Basic background in Kalman filtering *C++ programming under Linux

Real-time removal of ocular artifact from EEG +	In a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalogram (EEG), one of the most important sources of noise is related to ocular movements. Algorithms have been devised to cancel the effect of such artifacts. The project consists in the in the implementation in real time of an existing algorithm (or one newly developed) in order to improve the performance of a BCI. * J.R. Wolpaw et al. ''Brain-computer interfaces for communication and control'' (http://tinyurl.com/yhq27pq) * R.J. Croff, R.J. Barry. ''Removal of ocular artifact from the EEG: a review'' (http://tinyurl.com/ykk6ks9)
Recognition of the user's focusing on the stimulation matrix +	A P300-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) stimulates the user continuously, and the detection of a P300 designates the choice of the user. When the user is not paying attention to the interface, false positives are likely. The objective of this work is to avoid this problem; the analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) over the visual cortex (and possibly an analysis of P300s or of other biosignals) should tell when the user is looking at the interface
RoboArena +	Robogame where the player have to prevent the robot from touching the columns of the arena, using only his remote control.
