ELDESS - Bastone da passeggio intelligente

4 alunni di tre diverse quarte dell'I.Tecnico Tecnologico "E. Fermi"

We are 4 students of the fourth year of a technical school. We study computer science, telecomunications and eletronics. The idea for our smart object came from ing. Simone Valenti (from Politechnical University of Ancona) who helped us projecting and realizing ELDESS, together with our professors Enrico Alberti, Fabrizio Schiavi and Marco Traini. We presented our prototype in a world competition in Beijing and won the first prize.
