PARKINSON DETECTOR: intelligenza artificiale e medicina

Faire: Rome

Maker: I.T.I. OMAR Novara

 

Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are increasingly being used in medical diagnosis. Parkinson Detector is an Artificial Intelligence system capable of recognizing the typical motor impairments of Parkinson's disease. In particular, it identifies abnormalities in the oscillation of the upper limbs, such as symmetry and amplitude, which are currently of interest to clinicians as possible early indicators of the disease. The markerless system is non-invasive for the patient and easy to use, consisting of a PC, two cameras, and two specifically developed AI software.

Watercolor Plotter

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Matous Vana

Home: California, United States

I have a homebuilt and designed plotter that paints with watercolor. Fairgoers are able to interact with the project by mixing watercolors in a series of plots and then seeing my plotter turn their selected colors into a generative art piece! I exhibited at Open Sauce this year and I had a really fun time and people seemed to enjoy my work, I'd love to reprise that at Maker Faire! I also work with pen and I plan to have a variety of post-card sized works for sale at my booth.

POPPASTELLA – un angolo di Napoli nel Mondo

Faire: Rome

Maker: Sensori 4.0 srl

 

A real example of how, water and flour, by our POPpastella, can create and spread worldwide a simple, low-cost product, alternative to POPcorn, French fries or other street food products, currently limited to Neapolitan cuisine traditions. Prototype in its basic version, it can be expanded to reach the desired productivity, with proportional margins. Productivity is very high, the costs of the basic elements negligible; low energy consumption, it supplies a product to be eaten hot as soon as it is produced.

Elaisian – Il Sistema di Supporto alle Decisioni in agricoltura

Faire: Rome

Maker: Elaisian srl

 

Elaisian offers a precision agriculture service to prevent diseases in olive groves, vineyards, and almond orchards and to have a continuous decision support system (SSD) for field interventions. The service is based on SSDs related to pest management and SSDs related to satellite imagery (for all crops). This enables farmers to reduce phytosanitary treatments and optimize fertilization and irrigation. Elaisian offers the installation of weather stations in the field connected to an app where notifications and alerts on pathogen development are sent. We have different types of services that allow us to give accessibility to farms of all sizes and therefore with different economic possibilities. The following sections are available in the app: 5-day weather forecast, self-set alerts (weather parameter, value range, message sending interval), notifications (non-severe messages on plant and pathogen development), alerts (threshold severity messages), field notebook (linked to algorithms), map and reports from satellite images. The pathogen forecasting service is applied for olive groves, vineyards and almond orchards. Through the use of proprietary algorithms we are able to calculate the development of pathogens and plants, which, when correlated, allow us to calculate the infection rate of pathogens with high accuracy. We also use satellite images to calculate vegetation and water indices that are useful for monitoring soils and always have a control for optimizing fertilization and irrigation.

Sistema per l’Identificazione Massiva e a Bordo Automezzo di Sacchi per la Raccolta dei Rifiuti

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università degli Studi del Sannio - Benevento

 

Smart waste management aims at developing novel ways to optimize waste life-cycle. This objective can be achieved by combining new regulations with the availability of enabling technologies. TARIP is a novel model for tax calculation proposed by Italian government. Differently from the current method (TARI), it separates the amounts due in two different contributions: i) a fixed one, for the services offered by the waste company (i.e. waste collection), and ii) a variable one based on the real amount of taxpayer’s unsorted waste. The second part requires the adoption of a system to automate the computation of waste volume generated by each building. At Maker Faire, we aim at presenting a tracking system able to massively track waste sacks produced by citizens and collected by trucks to calculate in a more precise way the variable amounts due. It is an integrated hardware-software and edge-to-cloud system, developed by the Engineering Department of UniSannio in cooperation with the Agenzia Servizi Igiene Ambientale SpA (ASIA) di Benevento whose edge component is located on truck board and composed of a microcomputer, an RFID reader, and related antennas. The system can perform massive reading of RFID transponders tied to rubbish sacks when they are collected by the waste company operators. Thanks to the adoption of UHF RFID technologies supported by (a) an accurate placement of antennas, (b) specific heuristics, (c) a software architecture strongly tied to the microcomputer hardware, and (d) transactional interactions between edge and cloud, the system is able to read, in a transparent way for the operators, massive amount of sacks IDs that an in-cloud business logic associate to tax payers for defining the variable TARIP contribution.
