In-Place Repairing of Cubic Images

A (binary) image in the cubic grid is a finite set of cubes, conventionally considered as black. A known problem of the cubic grid is that the adjacency relation is not unique: face-, edge- and vertex-adjacency between the cubes lead to different topological properties of an image. Image repairing is the process of transforming a given image into another one, whose adjacency relations are not ambiguous. Starting from a work by Edelsbrunner and Kerber (2012), we propose to repair an image by ...

Dialoguing with Hattie&TimperlAI: a Research Based AI-Feedback Coach for Math Teacher Training

This paper presents Hattie&TimperlAI (H&TAI), a research-based AI agent that acts as a feedback coach for mathematics teacher education grounded in the Hattie and Timperley’s model. Building on a previous version (TP-H&TAI), which generates examples of effective feedback for classroom use, we introduce TT-H&TAI, a new configuration designed to help teachers refine their own feedback during training. TT-H&TAI was implemented on three LLM platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Clau...

Can AI Enhance Inclusion? A Participatory Approach to Defining and Evaluating New Technological Innovations

This paper examines whether and how participatory approaches can shape the innovation process in robotics and artificial intelligence to enhance the inclusion of sensitive user groups. Technological applications increasingly influence individual and collective well-being, yet design and assessment processes often prioritize technical performance over lived impact. Focusing on a case study from the PNRR-funded RAISE project – “Urban Technologies for Inclusive Engagement” – this study analyses ...
