Ciclo di seminari su Tecnologie Assistive
The seminar cycle Assistive Technology (AT) provides an introduction into devices, services, and platforms for people with physical and sensory disabilities, motor neuron diseases, and pervasive development disorders.
As an example how methods and tools from Computer Science can be applied to AT, we will introduce the most mature European runtime platform UniversAAL. We will tackle several aspects of UniversAAL ranging from the middleware design through management of heterogeneous devices, actuators, and sensors to realization of (semantic) services. A demonstration of UniversAAL will round up this introduction.
Seminar Objectives
As part of this cycle, the students will
know state-of-the-art AT
develop an understanding for AT supports und services
get familiar with the main components and functionalities of an AT runtime platform
extract and present knowledge from scientific papers
Lecture Notes
The lectures will be every Thursday at 11:00 in Seminari EST.
