Research lines
The structure of the GEINTRA research activity is shown in the following figure:
Our application areas are related to intelligent spaces and intelligent transport systems and are organized around 8 main research lines:
- Sensors, sensor networks and sensor fusion
- Localization and positioning systems
- Mobile robotics
- Human-Machine interfaces
- e-health, indenpendent living and assistive technology
- Intelligent transport and infrastructure systems
- Distributed control and automation
- Embedded digital systems, SOC, codesign.
To face these reseach lines, the Group has a solid experience in the following support technologies:
