Deix Launches the INTEGRA Project
Innovation in Ergonomics Powered by Artificial Intelligence
We are pleased to announce that Deix Srl has secured funding through a cascading grant from the PNRR, under Spoke 2 "Integrative AI" of the FAIR (Future Artificial Intelligence Research) project. This initiative, coordinated by the Bruno Kessler Foundation, aims to foster the integration of heterogeneous techniques that leverage both data-driven and model-based approaches, developing theories and solutions capable of addressing the challenges of Artificial Intelligence. Integrating mathematical models with data-driven techniques represents the key challenge of this call, a vision that reflects Deix's distinctive approach to Mathematical Intelligence: a blend that combines the rigor of mathematical modeling with the flexibility and power of data-driven AI.
Deix's project, named INTEGRA (INtegrative AI Technologies for Ergonomic Guidance and Risk Assessment), aims to improve workplace safety by combining advanced Artificial Intelligence techniques with physical models of human motion. This synergy will enable the automation of ergonomic risk assessments, using standard scales such as REBA, RULA, and OWAS, leveraging data acquired through motion capture technologies and image-based pose estimation.
Collaboration with the Bruno Kessler Foundation, a leader in the "Integrative AI" Spoke of the FAIR partnership, will provide Deix with the opportunity to develop cutting-edge solutions, benefiting from the expertise and resources of a center of excellence in Artificial Intelligence.
INTEGRA is a natural evolution of our Varda-AI platform, already used to monitor behaviors and movements in industrial environments. The integration of new functionalities for real-time ergonomic evaluation will reduce workplace injuries and improve workers' health, while also offering solutions applicable to fields such as healthcare and sports.
This project strengthens Deix's commitment to combining Artificial Intelligence and mathematical modeling to develop innovative and sustainable solutions, contributing to the digital transformation of companies and promoting a culture of prevention and workplace safety.
