Imagine driving your bike, as you normally do, across the city. Your Smart Bike will be able to record all interesting data around you: air quality and pollution, street conditions, traffic, noise, weather, you name it. Now, imagine every bike has these capabilities: the amount, the reliability, and the granularity of such data will be enough to understand and manage new services in a Smart City. And, bonus point, your Smart Bike also features a GPS-based anti-theft system.
This is the context of the Thesis developed by Carmelo Migliore and presented on July, 2016. In his thesis, Carmelo Migliore developed a first prototype of an IoT-connected board able to sense the air pollutants, and be connected with GPS and mobile networks. The thesis was developed in collaboration with the TIM Joint Open Lab "SWARM".

The students of the Ambient Intelligence course, edition 2016, are approaching the turning point: 18 projects are completing their design phase, and will soon start the implementation of the project demonstrators. Projects are exploring various areas of ambient intelligence systems, applied to the domain of Health and Well-Being.
On May 19, 2016, the 18 student groups of the Ambient Intelligence course will present a "pitch" about their proposed project and will unveil to the public the project contents. As a spoiler, the project names are: Angee, BreatheYourTroublesAway, DigiGarden, EmergencyQuest, EyesBlinker, FreeToBreathe, Gymmy, iStop, Nightwatch, PetsCare, ROOMpathY, SafetyMama, SleepMO, SleepTight, SmartPortableChair, StudyStation, WindShield, YourSafeSun.
The presentation is public, open to all interested students, and to interested enterprises and professionals. The attending industrial stakeholders and sponsors will provide a feedback about the presented projects.
