Enriching companion robots with enhanced reminiscence abilities
No full textIn this document I will go on discussing a project conceived by Professor Andrea Giovanni Nuzzolese and Alessandro Russo, both researchers and developers of some of the main aspects of project Mario at CNR Rome.
MARIO is a robot, part of a robotics company called KOMPAÏ Robotics that deals with the production and management of Robots who take care of elderly people who suffer from dementia or who still need an aid; more generally speaking, there is talk of weak and lonely people within an organization and / or institutions (nursing homes ...) or in their own homes.
There are numerous characteristics of MARIO, which ultimately contribute to all those which are the manufacturing objectives of KOMPAÏ Robotics.
My project, or rather my contribution to MARIO, is to look for a specific method which let the robot show a specific set of photos to the user according to the expressions, feelings and emotions, the user will reveal.
Example: the robot randomly chooses a marriage photo and the user suddenly start to laugh and to express positive feelings with positive words; the robot will try to understand if it’s a good photo for the user or not, and in the first case will continue to show the same kind of pictures while in the second case, will change completely set of photos to be shown.
The pleasure of the subject expressed in relation to a photo must be subject to an index of interest between predefined and specified values that may be to show a certain interest in a picture or the subjects within the image or the situation that surrounds them
Il diritto penale nel canone di Mario Romano
No full textThis paper deals with the extension and the extraordinary scientific value of the works written by a great Master in Criminal Law, such as Mario Romano. The Author briefly presents some of the most relevant contributions given by Professor Mario Romano to the Criminal Science, first of all his "Commentario sistematico del codice penale" (Systematic Commentary on the penal code), a unique work. Finally, the paper talks about some topics which have been developed inside the work "Studi in onore di Mario Romano" (Studies in Honour of Mario Romano)
Subsidence of Artificial Reefs with Bamboo Foundations on a Soft Seabed
No full textThe design of artificial reefs must be based on the criteria of both durability and serviceability. In this respect, the seabed subsidence rate related to the weight of the reefs and of their foundation system should be limited. The horizontal drift of the reefs during their life should be small too. In this study, pertaining to the behavior of artificial reefs made of microsilica concrete and realized with foundations in bamboo near the international airport of Hong Kong, 1-year monitoring data and calculations of reef foundation settlements are shown and discussed to assess the performance of the adopted mixed foundation and to deduce the nature of the long-term subsidence. The subsidence related to the settlements of the foundations was monitored using a Multibeam Echo Sounder System. It was found that the observed subsidence rate cannot be justified by the primary consolidation of the soils forming the seabed. Indeed, secondary consolidation seems to play an important role. Overall, after one year of service, the artificial reefs are considered to be effective in terms of limitation of both subsidence and drift
Ontology-Based Knowledge Management for Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and Reminiscence Therapy on Social Robots
No full textMARIO is an assistive robot that has to support a set of knowledge-intensive tasks aimed at increasing autonomy and reducing loneliness in people with dementia and supporting caregivers in their activity to assess patients’ cognitive status. Examples of knowledge-intensive tasks are the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and the delivery of reminiscence therapy. In order to enable these tasks, MARIO features a set of abilities implemented by pluggable software applications. MARIO’s abilities contribute to and benefit from a common knowledge management framework. For example, the ability associated with the CGA retrieves questions to be posed to the patient from the framework and stores the obtained answers and associated relevant metadata. In this work we presents the MARIO knowledge management software framework, which combines robotics with ontology-based approaches and Semantic Web technologies. It consists of (1) a set of interconnected and modularized ontologies, meant to model all knowledge areas that are relevant for MARIO abilities, and (2) a set of software interfaces that provide high-level access to the ontology network and its associated knowledge base. Finally, we demonstrate how the knowledge management framework supports the applications for CGA and reminiscence therapy, implemented on top of the knowledge base
Introduzione, a Mario Tobino, Il Clandestino
No full textL'introduzione presenta il libro più ambizioso di Mario Tobino, Il Clandestino, dedicato al racconto della sua esperienza con i gruppi clandestini della Resistenza Viareggina, libro con cui l'autore vinse il Premio Strega, nel 1962, imponendosi all'attenzione del grande pubblico dopo il successo dei libri manicomiali. Una nuova edizione in cui Paola Italia valorizza i materiali inediti dell'Archivio Tobino conservato presso l'Archivio Contemporaneo A. Bonsanti del Gabinetto GP Vieusseux di Firenze,Paola Italia presents an Introduction to the new edtion of Il Clandestino, the most ambitious of Mario Tobino's novels, dedicated to the story of his experience with the groups of the Tuscan Resistance when he was a psichiatric doctor ar Lucca. With this book the author won the Strega Prize, in 1962, attracting the attention of a wide public after the success of his psichiatric books. A new edition where Paola Italia enhances the unpublished material of Tobino Archive preserved in A. Bonsanti Contemporary Archive of G.P. Vieusseux Cabinet of Florence
A Knowledge Management System for Assistive Robotics
No full textIn this paper we demonstrate how to use an ontology network in order to fill the gap between knowledge and robots' abilities. The demonstration is focused on two components of the knowledge management system of MARIO robots. These components are the MARIO Ontology Network (i.e. MON) that organises knowledge in MARIO and an Object-RDF mapper, called Lizard, that dynamically generates APIs on top of the MON to enable the interaction between software components that implement robot's abilities and the MON itself
L'uno e il molteplice: su Catull. 5
No full textIn Catull. 5, the author cleverly works out two ancient topoi (‘let’s love, because the night/death is coming’; ‘kisses are the joy of lovers’), gaining a well balanced structure of the poem. In comparison with contemporary Graeco-Roman poetry (erotic epigrams – such as Philod. AP 9, 570 –, the Epitaph of Bion), both themes are handled with a remarkable taste for originality, especially in their ‘numerical’ aspects, in order to put special emphasis on the basic contrast between nox una and basia mille
FOSSR Deliverable 4.4 - Development of the digital platform and integration with Open Cloud
No full textThe preparation and implementation of multimodal interviews requires the availability of a complex application capable of interfacing with different types of users: system administrators, users with access authorisation for field monitoring, interviewers and interviewees. The latter are put in contact with the system through a dedicated application, an interface that allows direct communication with the interviewees but which also supports more extensive functions, such as the view of the activities carriedout by each interviewee.On the main application side, the panel management and monitoring functions must be implemented, starting from the insertion of profiling data, but also the management of the interviews of each wave and the activity of the panellists.It is, therefore, a document necessary for the design and implementation phase of the main infrastructure management software in its part dedicated to the production of original data the social sciences, which takes into account the needs, the components already available, and the possible technical solutions that will support the final architecture of the product
