The news of the grant from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe's leading body that subsidizes excellent frontier research, came following a highly competitive selection

A focus on digital technologies for the changing industry: FBK's applied research in manufacturing, aerospace, rail, automotive, energy and precision agriculture.

The 220m€ investment provides permanent capacity to deliver responsible AI in Europe by testing AI solutions in practice before they hit the market and become a part of healthcare, manufacturing, agrifood and everyday life. One of those is the agrifoodTEF initiative: coordinated by Raffaele Giaffreda (FBK), it deals with the agricultural sector and food production.

As part of its collaboration with the Rovereto-based company PAMA, the Vision Technologies Research Unit at FBK's Digital Industry Center oversaw the development of computer vision modules for remote troubleshooting and industrial maintenance through an augmented reality-based application. The solution developed ensures data security, allows for user experience customization, enables predictive analytics, and facilitates the creation of maintenance ticket and intervention requests.

The European challenge for the artificial intelligence to come: being less muscular than the "made in the U.S.A." or "made in China" ones, more creative and above all capable of integrating skills and technologies to make people and machines work together. It is Integrative AI capable of creating solutions that will have an impact in many areas of our daily lives: health, cities, local areas, work.

A new European project dedicated to environmental sustainability for the protection and study of wild animals using drones and artificial intelligence is to kick off.

High-quality 3D digital content will be created for use in the cultural, tourism, and fashion sectors

FBK's 3DOM Unit is a technology partner in the European project TRACENET, led by the Trentino Civil Protection

With a total budget of 60 million euros and a time horizon of 5 years, AgrifoodTEF aims to develop testing and experimentation infrastructure to facilitate the adoption of services and products based on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in the European agrifood sector. The project’s kick-off will take place in Trento on February 1 and 2, hosted by Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the project’s coordinator.

The section that monitors and provides information on FBK projects for the PNRR is available on www.fbk.eu

It will be based on AI, data and robotics technologies and will be tested in Finnish forests.

Together with FBK, University of Trento and Dolomiti Robotics, an innovative solution was created to make the GPI Group's Riedl Phasys warehouse system more globally competitive.

Luisa Bentivogli, FBK received an Amazon Research Award

The ES unit of Digital Industry Centre (FBK) co-organized this year edition of the International Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design (FMCAD). It's the 22nd in a series of conferences on theory and applications of formal methods in hardware and system verification. The conference has been held in Trento last Oct. 18th and 19th

The results of the call on the Extended Partnerships of the MUR, based on the PNRR, have rewarded FBK, protagonist of 5 proposals among those that have passed the first selection, dedicated to 14 topics of national interest.

Thanks to technologies developed by FBK researchers, 3D models of several archaeological finds on Doss Trento can now be viewed by the public

The new National Research Center in High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing, led by INFN has the participation of Fondazione Bruno Kessler and UniTrento among its 51 founding members spread across the country.

The FBK TeV Unit made a significant contribution to the team that came in first in the EPIC-KITCHENS competition on egocentric vision.

His work, titled "Who Are We Talking About? Handling Person Names in Speech Translation", adds up to the strong record of recent publications of the Machine Translation Unit in the area of Speech Translation.

In the new episode of Radio FBK, an interesting conversation about the relationship between discriminations and technology. Protagonists of the dialogue, Luisa Bentivogli and Marco Guerini, respectively Researcher of the Machine Translation unit of the Digital Industry Centre and Head of the Language and Dialog Technologies Research Unit of the Digital Society Centre.

HUBCAP european project ecosystem will create new opportunities for SMEs in the vast domains of Cyber-Physical Systems

With an additional act, the Province of Trento has allocated 1.2 million to FBK for the new "AI-TN" project aimed at carrying out activities in connection with artificial intelligence, including activities in collaboration with the University of Trento.

TOTEM: A dip into the past through the eyes of the present and with the help of 3D

The Austrian research center Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) and the Italian research institute Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) are launching a bilateral research collaboration to develop methods and processes that increase the dependability of electronic based systems.

The two researchers, from FBK and the University of Trento respectively, received the prize awarded by CAV 2021, the most important international conference on the verification of correctness of hardware and software systems and one of the most prestigious in computer science.

3D optical measurement techniques allow to inspect industrial components for quality control analyses, being very flexible, accurate and, sometimes even low cost

The ‘human-machine era’ is coming soon: a time when technology is integrated with our senses, not confined to mobile devices. It means that the hardware will move from our hands into our eyes and ears. Intelligent eyewear and earwear will be able to translate another person’s words, and make it look and sound like they were talking to you in your language. But not only will technology mediate what we see, hear and say in real time – it will be having increasingly complex conversations with us.

They are able to represent the shape, size, position and orientation of objects and scenes in space for applications such as 3D city modeling, land monitoring, power line inspection, autonomous navigation in indoor and outdoor spaces, industrial monitoring, documentation and restoration of cultural heritage

The Trentino system of research and innovation in the main initiative that promotes advanced manufacturing in Europe

Chiese Valley in Trentino combines tradition and innovation to rediscover the history of Fort Larino and the Great War

The possibility of visualizing and requalifying sites through three-dimensional technologies favors the rediscovery of the air-raid shelter in Piazza Venezia in Trento, the scene of a piece of city history of the Second World War

A research project on cystic fibrosis, halfway between medicine and computer science, appears promising in increasing the chances of fighting this genetic disease.

The collaboration started in February 2020 and the next step will be to improve the performance of the Riedl Phasys robotic cabinet

Steps forward to resolving "gender bias" in machine translation systems
