Agrobot
Faire: Rome
Maker: ITI Galileo Ferraris Scampia Napoli
Our project was designed to significantly reduce the pollution caused by the spraying of chemical products such as copper and sulfur in the vineyards. Copper is a heavy metal and for this reason toxic to soils while sulfur causes serious irritation to the respiratory system and to the skin of men. These two pollutants are very harmful to our ecosystem and the environment. Unfortunately, these products are widely used in agriculture because they are used to fight diseases such as Peronospora and Oidium. These fungi affect all agricultural cultures but in particular the excellent vine of Made Italy for the production of quality wine.
Kohinoor Project
Faire: Rome
Maker: Jerelyn Creado
The inspiration for the new collection comes from the influence
of the Mughals on culture, fashion and architecture in India.
Mughals and Indian Maharajas adorned themselves with extravagant, precious and elaborate and designed jewels.
This tradition continued in India even after that the Mughals were gone.
To make these magnificent creations, we work with small and medium sized artisans as they have generations of know-how behind their art.
This ensures that our shoes are handmade and that equal attention is paid to each of them.
We believe in keeping the art of footwear making alive in Italy for generations to come.

A biphasic metamaterial with simultaneous insulation of vibration and noise
Faire: Rome
Maker: Sapienza Università di Roma
A fluid-solid biphasic 3D printable mechanical metamaterial can be capable of simultaneous insulation of elastic and acoustic waves, which is essential for efficient sound and vibration isolation solutions. The structural design of biphasic periodic material is inspired by the triply periodic minimal surface lattice, which is suited to maintain the two phases separated from each other. To analyze the performance of metamaterials, dispersion relationships need to be calculated. Finite element models and optimization algorithms are applied to look for the largest realizable frequency stopband.

BeSight
Faire: Rome
Maker: Sapienza Università di Roma
Our project’s aim is to build a device that makes it possible for blind people to improve their sensory abilities by using a low latency wearable device that brings back an immediate feedback to the person that’s wearing it, bearing information of surrounding objects.
What’s new with the device we intend to build is the fact that it will provide real time indications not only of the distance of the surrounding objects, but also of the angle (azimuth) by comparing it with a direction reference (the person’s sight line).
We mean to achieve this by using a rotating LIDAR sensor connected to a programmable interface which generates signals (vibrations) based on the position in which the person is located.
SmartUx – I DO IT
Faire: Rome
Maker: Fondazione ITS – Istituto Tecnico Superiore per l’Industria dell’Ospitalità e del Turismo Allargato “Area Tecnologie Innovative per i Beni e le Attività Culturali – Settore Turismo”
"I DO IT" is an all-in-one application that integrates several advanced features in order to make tourism more inclusive for everyone. Thanks to the use of mixed reality, users can virtually explore and visit hotels, discovering every detail without having to physically move from their location. NFC tags allow guests to easily access to detailed information about the hotel, improving the user experience.
The app also offers audio-description services for the blind, allowing them to fully enjoy the attractions without audio-visual barriers. In addition, thanks to the Italian Sign Languageinterpreter, our deaf users can easily communicate and interact during their travels.
To ensure accessibility for visually impaired people, SMARTUX has developed a tactile book in Braille. This tool contains a detailed map of the city, a floor plan of the hotel room and a wide representation of the hotel itself. Using the NFC connection, users can access the audio description and the ISL interpreter directly from the book, allowing complete inclusion and making it easier to plan their trips.
ArtHouse Candle
Faire: Rome
Maker: Fabrizio D'Eramo
ART-HOUSE CANDLE is an innovative project about handmade candle making using modern techniques and traditional methods.
Technological tools, such as the CNC milling cutter, are used in the last phases of candle’s creation (decoration or finishing touch), in addition to the classic techniques of engraving, drawing and sculpting.
Raw materials are processed following ancient artisan techniques: the materials are melted in bain-marie, adding colours and perfumes. The basic shapes are obtained from handmade molds.
The product has some peculiarities (see the picture below) that make it stand out from other classic candles: the final fragrant wax artwork won't burn; infact it will act as a container of a smaller perfumed candle that will not only emit a pleasant scent, but also serve as a light source. Adding a small amount of water in the bowl will prevent the little candle from burning the container once it reaches the end of the wick. Doing so will preserve the wax artwork, that will last forever.

Ternary Computer System
Faire: Rome
Maker: Claudio La Rosa
We design a new type of microprocessor, which works with ternary logic (instead of the usual binary).
The immediate benefits of the ternary are:
Compact information much better (than binary system);
It reduces the size of the chips (especially the memory, which today occupies most of the surface).
Our idea offers technological advantages that enable a great leap forward in traditional processing and supercomputing.
It is optimally applied to the emerging fields of artificial intelligence and the brain-machine connection. Some neurobiological research groups are implementing neural networks with modeling of neurons using three states, because this better matches the activity of neurons.
We design, write specifications (ISA) and implement ternary microprocessors.
