Invited Talks
6th December, 9:30 - 10:30
Dealing with Uncertainty in Robot Grasping
Abstract
In this talk I will present some recent works developed at the Computer and Vision Lab of ISR Lisboa, for dealing with uncertainty in robot grasping. As robots shrink in size and grow in mechanical complexity, the errors in their kinematics models poses serious challenges to accurate control, particularly in tasks such as robot grasping and manipulation. The ability to deal with such errors becomes a key skill for reliable and predictive performance. Systematic errors (i.e. modeling errors) can be dealt with by improving the model as the robot operates (self-calibration). Random errors (i.e. limited perceptual and motor control precision) can be mitigated by an adequate modeling of uncertainty to perform safe actions. I will highlight how these types of error are modeled and mitigated in our robotic platform iCub.

Molecular and Cellular Biology quantification from imaging: an example on cell-cell adhesion analysis
Abstract
Image quantification is a central issue in biological and medical research and clinical diagnosis. However, the selection of the best methodology to extract quantitative molecular and cellular features from archived images is still a challenging problem. In most cases the observers are not able to quantify the levels and localization of protein expression or its effect in cell shape, cell cycle stage and how cells interact with each other in terms of cellular organization.
This talk will address all these above mentioned aspects and presents a new methodology to extract quantitative features from in situ archived fluorescent microscopic images. To exemplify the advantage and the accuracy of the strategy we will use images from cancer cells with alterations of E-cadherin. E-cadherin is a fundamental cell adhesion molecule that is expressed in all epithelia and in 70% of all carcinomas this protein is altered and leads to increased potential of cancer cell invasion and metastization.
Therefore, the presentation will be focused in the quantification and cellular mapping of the wild-type and cancer associated E-cadherin in populations of cells. Further, we will present how the cells populations behave in terms of cell cycle staging by profiling their DNA content. At last taking advantage of topological analysis we establish how cancer associated E-cadherin alters inter-cellular organization described by non-directional and non-regular graphs.
This pipeline of analysis allows extracting quantitative features that are able to distinguish cells with normal and dysfunctional E-cadherin a key protein in cancer progression.

Sigma delta modulators using passive integrators
Abstract
The constant size reduction of CMOS technologies has resulted in an increase of the transition frequency of CMOS transistors, but it has also resulted in the reduction of the intrinsic gain of these devices. As a consequence, it has become more difficult to design high gain and high bandwidth (BW) amplifiers with reduced power dissipation, making the design of ADCs that require such amplifiers, including Σ∆Ms, more challenging. One solution to deal with an issue of designing high gain amplifiers is to select passive or mixed active-passive Σ∆M architectures, where the processing gain of the comparator is used in the feedback loop of the modulator’s filter. This solution is very appealing for deep nanometer CMOS technologies, because a comparator can achieve large gain through positive feedback, which improves with faster transistors. This presentation will discuss the differences between Σ∆Ms using passive and active integrators and how to design high performance Σ∆Ms using passive integrators.

Designing and implementing a data manipulation language
Abstract
One of the main tasks of a developer while creating a data-centric application is gathering and transforming data. While in the past that data traditionally lived in a central relational database and had a well-defined data transformation language (e.g. SQL,) nowadays it is common to have multiple heterogeneous data sources with non-relational (or nested) data, each with their own data transformation language. As a consequence, the task of preparing data has become harder. In this session we present a language designed to seamlessly aggregate and transform nested data from different sources, and discuss its (partial) implementation in the context of the OutSystems platform.

Systemic Lisbon Battery:
a Virtual Reality app for cognitive assessment
Abstract
The most common measures to assess cognitive decline due to aging, neurological impairments or other compromising conditions that impact on brain functioning are based on paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests. One of the criticisms that have been raised regarding these tests is that they cannot replicate the requirements that an individual need to meet when stroll along his/her day-to-day activities, thus presenting a reduced ecological validity. For the results of neuropsychological testing to be generalizable to the individual reality, it is necessary the application of contextualized exercises in instrumental activities of daily living (eg, shopping, dressing or preparing breakfast), instead of considering only the performance on psychometric tests. The use of virtual reality (VR), where patients can perform activities of daily life, requiring different cognitive abilities, can be a viable solution to this problem. We are currently validating a computerized multi-platform environment for neuropsychological assessment based on the above mentioned requirements. This environment is a city with a variety of tasks of daily life, from meal preparation to leisure activities, such as a visit to an art gallery. This environment has been applied on healthy and clinical populations that were assessed and trained. Results from these studies will be presented.

Mobile Communications towards 2020
Abstract
The speaker will overview CELFINET's view of mobile communications towards 2020. The company's product portfolio will be discussed, along the challenges and concerns around the appearance of 5G.
5G wireless networks will support 1,000-fold gains in capacity, connections for
at least 100 billion devices, and a 10 Gb/s individual user experience capable
of extremely low latency and response times. 5G radio access will be built upon
both new radio access technologies (RAT) and evolved existing wireless
technologies (LTE, HSPA, GSM and WiFi). Breakthroughs in wireless network
innovation will also drive economic and societal growth in entirely new ways The
talk will highlight some of these aspects.
