Who is using

Research groups using MADS

University of Trento (Italy)

Within the national research project “Miroscic”, Paolo Bosetti has originally developed MADS as a way to orchestrate and manage the data acquired from a collection of heterogeneous sensors, including smart cameras, ToF cameras, and other IoT devices for ensuring safety of operators in industrial environments.

The MADS architecture is currently being used by researchers in the MiRO lab for building the software stack of a robotic walker for rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.

University of Brescia (Italy)

Within the national research project “Miroscic”, the group of prof. Matteo Lancini of the MMTLab of the University of Brescia is using MADS to develop the edge cameras and software that provides 3D estimate of human pose by using AI techniques.

University or Perugia (Italy)

Within the national research project “Miroscic”, the group of prof. Roberto Marsili at the Measurement Group of the University of Perugia is using MADS collect data from wearable sensors and RFID transponders.

INSA Toulouse (France)

The group coordinated by prof. Anna-Carla Araujo at the INSA Toulouse, SUMO group of Institut Clément Ader is using MADS to collect data from multiple sensors in a machining shopfloor, with the aim of measuring and improving energy efficiency of the production processes.

Teaching

Starting from Academic Year 2025–26, a new experimental course named Multi-Agent System for Smart Machining (MASSMa) will be offered at the same time at the University of Trento and INSA Toulouse, under the ECIU umbrella. The course will be taught by Paolo Bosetti and Anna-Carla Araujo, and will use MADS as the main software platform for collecting field data from an industrial shopfloor. Students will also learn how to exploit those data to build process control models both in a classical way (SPC), and in a machine-learning approach.
