A robot that detects, reaches, and disinfects contaminated surfaces in a targeted way: this is the outcome of the project “Responsive Precision Disinfection for Environmental Surfaces” (RPD), funded by Innosuisse. It marks a new frontier in the sanitization of healthcare and public environments through autonomous and adaptive technologies.
The InnoInspect project, developed by the Institute of Systems and Applied Electronics (ISEA) in collaboration with the company Tomaco SA, has created a 2D online automatic inspection system for mechanical parts during the machining process. Thanks to advanced image processing techniques, the system can detect production process deviations on a micrometric scale, even in the presence of machining residues.
The V-Cockpit tool, an advanced platform for prototyping and managing automotive infotainment systems through virtual reality, was one of the protagonists at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (January 7–11, 2025), the most prestigious trade fair dedicated to tech innovations, bringing together leading companies from around the world.
The RiBeMoS project is entering a new phase. A station will be built in Val Canaria in the spring that will contain the multi-sensor system developed to monitor suspended and bottom solid transport in rivers.
The Institute of Applied Systems and Electronics (ISEA) and Paradox Engineering SA have developed an innovative system that enables the localization and tracking of people and objects over large areas using autonomous drones.
The Institute of Systems and Applied Electronics (ISEA), the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA USI-SUPSI) and Santex Rimar AG have developed an innovative moisture monitoring and automatic fabric defect detection system for textile finishing looms and machines.
V-Cockpit, a project funded by the Swiss Innovation Agency to build a platform for prototyping, managing and testing automotive infotainment systems through virtual reality, has concluded.
A consortium consisting of the Institute of Systems and Applied Electronics (ISEA) and other academic and industrial partners is working on the development of a new monitoring technology for additive polymer manufacturing.
The ARVADOS device, designed by the Institute for Systems and Applied Electronics in collaboration with sureVIVE SA, was developed for locating missing persons in the mountains. Now it could also prove to be a valuable support for communications between rescuers.
Through the WP-SEMG (Wirless Portable and Multichannel Surface EMG) project, the Institute of Systems and Applied Electronics (ISEA) is working to develop a new device for the rehabilitation of patients stricken by ictus. The goal is to create a functional prototype of an electromyograph as a non-invasive alternative to needle electromyography, to improve the diagnosis of myopathies and support clinical recovery.
After 2 years, the VisionPlus project, funded by the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse) and carried out in collaboration with the company Sensoptic SA, to develop an intelligent system for wire and filament control in Industry 4.0 has ended.
After three years, the RiBeMos project to develop a multi-sensor system for measuring suspended material and bottom solid transport in rivers has ended.
Dipl.-Ing. Gianluca Montù has been appointed as the new Head of the Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering. He will take office on 1 September 2023 for a four-year term.
Completed AOI3DSCAN, an Innosuisse project to develop an optical head that allows a single optical inspection system to perform all quality checks in a production line.
