Research Services Offered + Completed Projects

Our laboratory offers specialized research services in the development of firmware and operating systems optimized for embedded and IoT devices. Through our experience in wearable technologies and in the acquisition and processing of data from such devices, we can create customized solutions that meet the most demanding requirements in terms of low power consumption. We also focus on designing scalable embedded systems and developing machine learning (ML) applications adapted for platforms with limited resources, thus ensuring optimal performance even in extreme operating conditions.

• TinySense – Detection of vehicle presence, weather conditions in the open field with devices with unlimited battery life
• FPGA ATtiny20 RISC V CPU implementation: *Implementation of an ATtiny20 RISC V processor on a Nexys A7 FPGA
• CityAirQ – mobile air pollution monitoring system
• MicroSal – Dental implant with contact nano-sensors for the treatment of xerostomia
• Geo-dynamic monitoring using wireless sensor networks

IT SERVICES FOR HAZARD MANAGEMENT
Our research is focused on models and information services for hazard management systems, based on smart data acquired from sensors, edge devices and social networks. The goal is to deliver early warning and alerts for a large variety of natural and man-made hazards, as well as educational and population awareness services. The applications developed so far concern risks due to radiological and nuclear facilities, floods, water and air pollution, biological and pandemic hazards.
