WP4, D4.1:
“This deliverable focuses on offering the ERA Chair and the M-ITI research team the
opportunity to enhance the existing research labs with new equipment for world class HCI and
design innovation research. This equipment will be used to develop test beds that can be used
not only by M-ITI members but also by European Institutions and local industry. These test beds
will play a key role in raising the visibility of the research teams and increasing their
competitiveness in the Horizon 2020 programme. This work package will address the current
lack of in-house and large-scale deployments and help further to aggregate and retain the
critical mass. The development of M-ITI’s living lab infrastructure is a key action of LEAPFROG
to support the further development of M-ITI’s research capacities under the strategic direction of
the ERA Chair holder in the key identified application areas. The acquisition of state-of-the-art
equipment will make M-ITI more competitive and a convenient partner due to the uniqueness of
our infrastructure. “
Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute
2
GA: 621413
M-ITI’s background is primarily as an HCI / Computer Science institute. While some of its
outputs took the form of installations and physical demonstrations, the culture has not revolved
around physicality or embodiment. Because the H in HCI stands for humans, and humans have
bodies, HCI often does (and always should) have a physical component. M-ITI has not been
well situated to pursue this. While it had a few tools, researchers have not had access to a
shop or fabrication facilities. Most premier HCI programs (CMU, MIT, UC Irvine) are based in
University environments where HCI researchers have been influenced by, and able to draw
upon, the knowledge and resources of other departments like Art, Design, Physics, Material
Science, etc. Many initial HCI prototypes were developed in conjunction with these other
centers. MITI has no similar proximal facilities.
Another point to note is that Madeira is extremely physically remote. Its distance has many
implications for supply chains; common materials and supplies for research that might be found
elsewhere -- or speedily delivered -- are not locally available, and may take weeks to arrive.
One faculty member who recently left the institute cited his frustration that “You can’t get
anything in under two weeks!” Iteration and spontaneity in research are less likely to occur.
For these reasons, the ERA Chairholder put a strong emphasis on building basic fabrication
facilities. This is a prerequisite to the work of the ERA Chair team, but also a strong and lasting
contribution to the institute as a whole. We call the facilities a Lab / Shop, because it must allow
for research of the ERA team, but also leapfrog the institute as a whole. The emphasis is on
manual, traditional tools (metal working, wood working, electronics fabrication, casting and
laminates) and industrial-quality CNC tools. We have to some degree eschewed the more
recent tools of the “maker movement.” By focusing somewhat upstream of where many
institutes settle (3d printers, laser cutters) the hope is that M-ITI will be able to derive lighter and
more recent tools by simply making them. As importantly, by not concentrating only on the most
state-of-the-art tools, we can draw on a richer history of invention and manufacture, which ties in
well with our approach of Critical Technical Practice.
In addition to renovating the shop spaces, specifying and acquiring the tools, we have also hired
two staff who largely work to maintain and improve the shop. One postdoc is a PhD in
mechanical engineering with an emphasis on systems engineering and microfluidics. Another
staff researcher is an MS in electrical engineering. These staff is actively engaged in research,
but also in teaching and training, and working to define shop policies and culture that prioritize
research but include pedagogical activities. The new facilities have dramatically increased M-

ITIs power, are hubs of activity, and are constantly growing.
2. Achievements so far
Projects are being carried out in the Lab, making maximum use of its increasing capacity over
the last few months.
ProBot
In particular the lab has supported the development of ProBot, a social activism autonomous
robot that can be used for demonstrations and protests. It operates on its own, can be operated
remotely, and has a low speaker connected to sound system.

RootIO
Another key project enabled by the lab is RootIO (roots radio), a loosely-integrated, contentagnostic “solution stack” for peer-oriented radio networks. The project aims to mix communities,
telephony, networking, and radio to create new models of community information. RootIO
crosses the best parts of community radio, broadcast networks, and peer production into a
vertically integrated platform, gluing together existing technologies and creating new ones
where necessary. RootIO grew out of the recognition that despite the wonders of mobile
telephony and the Internet, radio is still a vibrant medium, and in many places it is where most
people get the bulk of their information. It doesn’t require literacy, a personal device, or much
power, it is transmitted free of charge, and it comes built in to many of the phones used around
the world. But radio is a broadcast medium, and has yet to benefit from contemporary
advances in peer networks and production. The radio prototype has been developed in the lab.

colors of some Madeira companies (Grupo Girao and Terra Madeira) where the color of their
lines represent the export of goods to other places (like United States and Indonesia). The blue
icons are companies outside Madeira (Italy and United States) have been importing goods to
Madeira.

PRSMA startup
The lab (and via the ERAChair Business Ignition Lab) helped a startup to emerge from the
energy R&D area, PRSMA (www.prsma.pt). PRSMA created a product called Enerspectrum,
and was recently awarded and H2020 SME contract for developing the business plan.

Figure 5 - Prsma company - first startup from ERA Chair Business Ignition Lab
The Enerspectrum box is the first commercial venture of a research team expert in the
development and deployment of eco-feedback systems. The sensing system is capable of
disaggregating home energy consumption using a low-cost and effective non-intrusive
approach. The sensing system is coupled with a middleware web system that supports novel
eco-feedback strategies that are meaningful and compelling for families and households.
Health & aging well
Several projects in the area of Health & aging well have been using the lab facilities to develop
and integrate components. One example is the work performed on neurorehabilitation, where
Augmented Reality systems are helping to rehabilited people who suffered strokes.

Entertainment - Gaming
December 16th Madeira-ITI hosted the Playtest session, the lab a big part in the setup of the
event. Students from different programs (Master of Engineering Informatics, Bachelor in
Interactive and PhD in Engineering Informatics ) had been working together in teams to develop
interactive experiences as well as traditional games.
The general public were welcome to come and experience our games.

Fabrication outreach
M-ITI promoted the fabrication Lab concept and our in house capabilities to the general public, in the
event 'Ciência no Mercado', promoted by ARDITI, under the Week of Science and Technology in
Funchal. Some of the equipment, like the 3D printer, was taken to the Funchal traditional market and
demonstrated to the general audience.

3. Partnerships
Partnerships have been developed with EDP power utility (http://www.fablabedp.edp.pt/pt) and
Vitruvius Fab Lab @ ISCTE University in Lisbon. M-ITI had an official visit from DRQP Direcção Regional de Qualificação Profissional, Madeira's main vocacional trainning, and
agreements on support to maintenance activities, and sharing resources, been achieved.
Through our R&D cooperation, M-ITI has also been connected to the University Lisbon Fine
Arts School (FBAUL), and further work is expected in the fabrication context. After a visit to
FabLab Lisboa (Lisbon City Hall FabLab, http://fablablisboa.pt),
13
GA: 621413
M-ITI was invited to participate FabLabs National Encounter on January 29 / 31, two lab people
will attend.
The laboratory is already having an effect on regional development; the mayor of Funchal has
partnered with us to develop a major innovation space (over 10 000 m2) with similar
capabilities.
Next steps include a public launch with regional and european guests, and making the
laboratory and current research directions public through enhanced web representation.
4. Goals for the future
As machines come online skills grow within the community, we expect
• a significant increase in the volume of M-ITI’s research output, as we can build more, better,
faster
• a positive change in the status of that research output, allowing it to more successfully
contribute to top-tier venues
• a change in the nature of M-ITI’s research, to better address the humanistic components of
HCI by drawing on the traditions of art, design, and craft
• increased interest from and collaboration with local and international industry
5. Hurdles
One major prior obstacle to research in Madeira has been that its remote location creates
excessive difficulty in obtaining goods and materials. This has impacted the speed and ease
with which we can acquire infrastructure. Even the simplest purchase can take upwards of two
weeks.
Early on during the configuration of the shops, M-ITI switched its institutional status, meaning
that major purchases had to pass through a public procurement process. This slowed down
acquisitions significantly for a period. The code (CCP- Código de Contratação Pública) has
been thoroughly followed in all necessary purchases.
14
GA: 621413
Cash flow is an ongoing problem for M-ITI; this has also impacted our speed of development.
This month we instituted a major new initiative, a line-of-credit that will hopefully prevent future
such delays.

7. Events
During the past 12 months when the ERA Chair Lab / Shop was starting to get on track, several
dissemination actions took place at M-ITI. These included visits by the Mayor of Funchal, the
President of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, and the President of the Republic of Portugal.
Each of these events culminated in demonstrations in the Lab / Shop.
Raising visibility on both local/national and international level is of key importance for the
Leapfrog project. We fully acknowledge that the lab provided with state-of-the-art equipment
will serve to unlock our research potential allowing for innovative and novel creative approaches
for our application areas. Therefore, the equipment and the resulting cutting-edge research are
key elements to position strategically M-ITI to be competitive in ERA and beyond the project
scope. On the regional level, is also our intention to create the conditions and help creating the
right mindset for students to integrate lab practices into their current projects and research.
7.1 ERA Chair public Kick -off
On the 10th of October 2015, M-ITI organised a public event to disseminate the ERA Chair
project on a local/regional level.
The ERA Chair public Kick-off provided informative presentations by the ERA Chair team
members about their profiles and backgrounds and launched new ideas on what they expect to
accomplish at M-ITI.
Before the public speaking there was an open visit to M-ITI which included demonstration of
projects, including the ERA chair lab.
