Why Space?
Italy has alwayy played an important international role in
the space sector
Medium-long terms project
economical cycles
less influenced by the
Space research in Horizon 2020, Recommendations of
the FP7 Space Advisory Group (SAG), June 2011:
“The conclusions of the Space Advisory Group's
deliberations..... is that Space must be a major and wellfunded theme of the Horizon 2020, commensurate with
the strategic importance of this major industry sector,
scientific discipline and human endeavour”

-Abilitazione geo-referenziata tramite interfaccia HW/SW progettata ad
hoc di robot in modalità di funzionamento sciame per una data applicazione
(ad esempio sminamento).
- Satellite Compass
La differenza con una bussola magnetica è che tale informazione è calcola
sfruttando esclusivamente il sistema satellitare GPS e non il campo
magnetico terrestre.
Ambito applicativo:
Marino, su natanti per scopi di navigazione
ferroviario, su treni al fine di orientare le antenne utilizzate per la
connessione ad internet

AFCEA Student Project
Internet of Things: Enabling Technologies and Smart
Devices
to improve Quality of Life
The Internet of things concept is based on the interaction of different
independent systems through the Internet and can be considered as a “System
of Systems Interconnected Through Internet”.
The project work concerns the realization of a smart integrated system
including a smartphone and new secure low-power wireless standards (as DASH7,
6LoPAN, Bluetooth Low Energy) to support innovative and advanced applications
in the fields of healthcare, fitness and homeland security.
to develop a smart integrated system for healthcare applications
(including e.g. a pulse oximeter, glucose and blood pressure monitoring, etc.)
to develop a smart integrated system for homeland security applications

Organization: project work
Examples of project works:
Integration of sensors for medical/safety applications and a gateway
that sends data to a control center for data processing. The integration
foresees the use of protocols for Low Power WSNs and the
implementation of a HW/SW interfance at low power consumption and
hence, based on new standards such as DASH7, 6LOWPAN, Bluetooth
Low Energy.
Position estimation o train via GNSS. Each vagon has its unit board that
estimates the position with high accuracy thanks to corrections sent by
referneces stations designed for that purpose whihc does not have its
own augmentation network (such as in Australia) Data will be sent via a
TETRA link.
