Best Poster Award at the Proceeding of the 11th IEEE International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT’15)
I am very glad to announce that our work titled "Fully-Immersive Hapto-Audio-Visual Framework for Remote Touch" has been awarded as the "Best Student Poster" at the Proceeding of the 11th IEEE International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT’15), Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 1-3, 2015.
Programming modular snake robots with Arduino, Aalesund University College
Here a small presentation that I have prepared for our students so that they can learn how to program modular snake robots.
A perfect Airbnb rental for Norway's most beautiful town, Ålesund
Get 20 dollars (or 300 nok)Airbnb credit coupon, just sign up by following this link: www.airbnb.com/c/fsanfilippo Ålesund is arguably Norway's most beautiful fjord town, situated on the coast line between Bergen and Molde. It is the entry point for the deep blue UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord. The rule of thumb therefore is to stay somewhere that matches the beauty of the city and in a country where non business character hotels are tough to find. This Airbnb* rental place looks like the pe

Modular grasping snake robot
This is another student project at Aalesund University College, Mechatronics course (Spring semester 2012). The main idea of this project consists in developing a modular snake robot capable of grasping objects. The initial mockup of the project is described in the figure below.
Modular H-shaped four-legged robot
This is another student project at Aalesund University College, Mechatronics course (Spring semester 2012). The main idea of this project consists of developing a modular "H"-shaped four-legged robot. The robot should have the pose and locomotion capabilities of standing, crawling, turning, and lateral crawling, ... The initial mockup of the project is described in the figure below.
Modular five legged robot
This is another student project at Aalesund University College, Mechatronics course (Spring semester 2012). The main idea of this project consists of developing a modular five-limbed robot. The goal is to develop a versatile robotic mobile platform featuring an easy-to-build mechanical structure, various locomotion capabilities and high manipulation flexibility. The initial mockup of the project is described in the image below.
The demonstrator and imitator robots
This post describe another project that I have assigned to our students at Aalesund University College while teaching mechatronics. In particular, this project addresses the problem of body mapping in robotic imitation where the demonstrator and imitator robots may not share the same embodiment (degrees of freedom, body morphology, constraints and so on).
VIDEO: Sykkelløp, a motorcycle race competition at AAUC
Sykkelløp, this is the norwegian word for the motorcycle race competition that involves our first year students at Aalesund University College. This competition became a tradition, since it has been hold for several years now. It is a way to motivate our students in working in teams on the design or redesign of motorcycles and other kind of vehicles. Our students have the chance to learn about mechanics and to apply this knowledge in a very practical way. This competition has been organised und
