\u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PIAP has developed an autonomous system for compatible mobile ground platforms for autonomous tracking of selected target, e.g. a vehicle or a person.<\/p>

ATENA is a system designed for off-road use, particularly in unmanned and manned vehicles for military applications. It enables the control of a transport platform supporting infantry units, forms convoys, and limits the number of personnel required to transport the equipment and vehicles. The system can be installed on passenger vehicles, trucks or unmanned land platforms. Vehicles equipped with the ATENA system will be able to operate without maps and navigation systems, using learning algorithms and machine vision.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Modular construction allows for parallel performance of manufacturing works on the modules, 90% of which are produced in the factory, and preparation of the entire infrastructure on site. The technology reduces construction time by approx. 70% compared with traditional methods.<\/p>

The challenge remains to optimise this process, and to reduce the negative impact on the environment.<\/p>

This is the area of \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 ICiMB, among others, which has developed modular elements made from autoclaved cellular concrete with increased thermal insulation based on innovative aggregate from waste materials.<\/p>

Cellular concrete elements are considerably lighter than prefabricated elements made from normal concrete, which makes construction work easier and generates savings in transport.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Cyber-physical integrated system for the logistics of medical supplies to the operating theatre (SLS)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We all know how much time during surgical operations is required for formalities. In order to streamline them while ensuring the highest level of patient safety, \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PIT, in cooperation with Infofinder, is working on a system based on workflow-class computer software with equipment to identify and record medical supplies before, during and after operations.<\/p>

Individual modules will be responsible for rapid and automatic weight compliance control of surgical instruments and quantitative control of disposable medical articles used during surgery. They will allow for the full and efficient control of the weight and quantity compliance of medical articles, even during surgery, which will protect the patient against a foreign body being left and sutured in the surgical field.<\/p>

The SLS system will also create and send information to the HIS (Hospital Information System) for Electronic Medical Records and cost accounting. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Textronic system for monitoring patients with respiratory and cardiovascular failure and related conditions<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The primary aim of the project is to address the problem of effective monitoring and surveillance of inpatients and outpatient rehabilitation users and to provide effective, continuous telecare for patients with heart failure and diabetes.<\/p>

The project is jointly implemented by four institutes: \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 ITAM, \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 IMiF, \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 \u0141IT and \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 KIT.<\/p>

The introduction of the system on the market will enable a reduction in the number of hospitalisations caused by circulatory decompensation in patients with heart failure (in Poland, more than 500 per 100,000 inhabitants), through early response to the deterioration of their condition.<\/p>

The product will be used in the reimbursable comprehensive post-myocardial infarction care programme (KOS), which covers 20,000 patients annually.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A skeleton system of an automatic translator into the Polish Sign Language using a virtual human figure mechanism<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 EMAG, together with the Institute of Polish Language of the Polish Academy of Sciences, is carrying out a project aimed at developing a framework solution for translating speech in the Polish language <\/span><\/span> into Polish Sign Language using a virtual human figure mechanism. The innovation of the solution consists in using: <\/span><\/span>emotions and non-verbal elements of speech in the visualisation of gestures<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

On of the expected outcomes of the project is a pilot study in a group of selected <\/span><\/span>portals providing online administration services.

\u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PIT and \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 ILOT are jointly implementing the project of a Polish Field Robot for the needs of modern agriculture. <\/p>

The robot will be used in all stages of agricultural production from <\/span><\/span>sowing to the end of vegetation. Its main tasks will include sowing, tending by mechanical <\/span><\/span>weeding and plant protection by spraying. The robot will be fully automatic \u2013 it will move <\/span><\/span>along a specified route using radio-telecommunication signals <\/span><\/span>RTK<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>(GPS)<\/span><\/span>.

System of intelligent sensors, measuring critical rolling stock parameters<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The aim of the project is to meet the needs of the rail and freight industry for real-time<\/span><\/span>online monitoring and management of rolling stock, using modern technologies, tools and <\/span><\/span>algorithms of artificial intelligence with autonomously powered sensors. <\/span><\/span> <\/p>

The system will operate globally, i.e. in Europe and <\/span><\/span>Asia, when railway vehicles are in motion and when they are stationary. A key advantage of the sensor system is its ability to inform <\/span><\/span>carriers of malfunctions and wear of rolling stock components before a major breakdown <\/span><\/span>requiring lengthy repairs occurs. The system is powered by <\/span><\/span>energy<\/span><\/span> harvesting, <\/span><\/span>which allows for <\/span><\/span> many years of maintenance-free operation. The system diagnoses defects of the rolling stock thanks to elements such as: sensors <\/span><\/span>geolocation<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span>GNSS<\/span><\/span>), <\/span><\/span>accelerometers, <\/span><\/span>lidars,<\/span><\/span>temperature sensors and magnetic field sensors. Data from the sensors is aggregated using <\/span><\/span>remote reading (<\/span><\/span>BLE<\/span><\/span>) and processed using AI technology implemented e.g. in the edge devices of the <\/span><\/span>sensory network. <\/span><\/span><\/p>
