The Assistive Technology Group at Politecnico di Milano identifies, forecasts, implements, promotes and applies innovative ICT methods and technologies to develop sustainable solutions for vulnerable groups. The group's mission is to guarantee recovery of functionality, social integration, equal opportunities, health, self-determination and quality of life. Key areas of research include building automation, auxiliary supports like brain-computer interfaces, pattern recognition, innovations in areas like chemical education and campus accessibility, and natural language processing projects. The group collaborates with enterprises, public institutions, and other organizations and universities on various projects.
