ScarfingTool: An Advanced tool to repair Carbon Fiber Reinforced plastic.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is going to assume more and more importance in mechanical and aerospace engineering in the near future. This is due to its intrinsic high lightness and resistance, if compared to traditional metallic materials. CFRP is characterized by a proper production and repair technology.

Vision-based omnidirectional indoor robots for autonomous navigation and localization in manufacturing industry.

In this paper, we present a new generation of omnidirectional automated guided vehicles (omniagv) used for transporting materials within a manufacturing factory with the ability to navigate autonomously and intelligently by interacting with the environment, including people and other entities. This robot has to be integrated into the operating environment without significant changes to the current facilities or heavy redefinitions of the logistics processes already running. For this purpose, different vision-based systems and advanced methods in mobile and cognitive robotics are developed and integrated.

Label-Free Intracellular Multi-Specificity in Yeast Cells by Phase-Contrast Tomographic Flow Cytometry.

In-flow phase-contrast tomography provides a 3D refractive index of label-free cells in cytometry systems. Its major limitation, as with any quantitative phase imaging approach, is the lack of specificity compared to fluorescence microscopy, thus restraining its huge potentialities in single-cell analysis and diagnostics. Remarkable results in introducing specificity are obtained through artificial intelligence (AI), but only for adherent cells.

A stratified compartmental model for the transmission of (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) in gilthead seabream () fish farms.

The rapid development of intensive fish farming has been associated with the spreading of infectious diseases, pathogens and parasites. One such parasite is (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea), which commonly infects cultured gilthead seabream ()-a vital species in Mediterranean aquaculture. The parasite attaches to fish gills and can cause epizootics in sea cages with relevant consequences for fish health and associated economic losses for fish farmers.

A virtual reality classroom to teach and explore crystal solid state structures.

Unlabelled: We present an educational application of virtual reality that we created to help students gain an in-depth understanding of the internal structure of crystals and related key concepts. Teachers can use it to give lectures to small groups (10-15) of students in a shared virtual environment, both remotely (with teacher and students in different locations) and locally (while sharing the same physical space). Lectures can be recorded, stored in an online repository, and shared with students who can either review a recorded lecture in the same virtual environment or can use the application for self-studying by exploring a large collection of available crystal structures.
