On February 22, the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (FEEC/UNICAMP) received the visit of new students and general public at the annual event “Encontro FEEC”, an event that shows the community the current research topics in which professors and graduate students are involved.
During the visit to the Laboratory of Computer Science and Automation (LCA), researchers from SMARTNESS had the opportunity to show their current research status and discussed possible collaborations with the new incoming students.
Thus, the research group AdRoLab (Advanced Robotics Laboratory) presented their current research on robotic applications in smart home environments. Master students Maria Fernanda Gomez, Ervin Alain Bolivar, Tarcio Quizanga and Breno Portela, led by Professor Eric Rhomer, demonstrated how the interaction of IoT devices and robots can transform everyday assistance. In addition, they presented various experiments currently being conducted on robots such as exoskeletons, intelligent wheelchairs, and autonomous robots.
Likewise, the INTRIG research group (Information & Networking Technologies Research & Innovation Group), led by Professor Christian Rothenberg, had the participation of PhD students Mauricio Rodriguez, Alan Texeira and Md Tariqul Islam. The students presented topics related to drone route planning and holograms, showing applications and services for future 5G networks and evolution towards 6G.
