We are INTER!
Interactive Technologies of Engineering in Rehabilitation
An interdisciplinary strategic group of researchers from natural sciences, engineering, health sciences, the humanities and social sciences.
INTER includes more than 100 researchers from different fields and universities.
INTER has two main areas of activity, Smart Home and Mobility, each based on two axes: 1. the design and prototyping of new interactive devices and systems, and 2. the evaluation and transfer of technology.
INTER : Over 130 mandates funded to date, and further opportunities for researchers.

Intervention Areas
Smart home
Solutions that contribute to instrument living environments and to endow ambient artificial intelligence able to provide ad hoc or continue assistance to occupants and to integrate into any day-to-day object (e.g.: door, stove, mug, fridge, sweater, etc.) or place (e.g.: shopping mall, pharmacy, waiting room in hospitals, etc.) so as to be transparent for occupants.
Mobility
Solutions that contribute to prevent, to delay or to substitute the decline of human mobility, i.e. the physical capacity to walk and move, and the use of objects required for personal well-being.
