"Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu - Digifof

The Open Models (OMi) Laboratory is a dedicated research and experimentation space for modelling method enginering. Both a physical and virtual place, it is equipped with tools to explore method creation and design, experiment with method engineering and deploy software tools for modelling.

Open to all those interested, the laboratory is a platform where all participants can bring in ideas related to modelling and engage in the exploration process. The lab’s idea is to act as a facilitator to the development and application of scientific methods to communities who value models, and implicitly modelling methods. It is open to all application domains which can benefit from the use of models; it promotes openness of community projects and encourages communities to share their projects to the extent feasible.

In OMiLAB SIBIU We focus on:

• modeling and simulation-based design and optimization of manufacturing systems and processes; developing of applications on robotic arm using Flowcharts or Petri Nets on the Bee-up and ADOxx platforms; robot manipulation and robot connectivity are available.
• designing, implementing and evaluating a new system of recognition of facial expressions using different machine learning techniques that would ultimately perform better in terms of computational speed and accuracy than existing methods. Applicability on workplace safety: determine employees emotion recognition; monitor a machine operator and detect the operator's emotional state. Send an alert if the operator is distracted or angry.
• modeling and optimizing smart cities specific processes (traffic, mobility, air quality). Wireless connected mobile robots, IoT components, images recognition application as well as modelling tools are available.
