Intelligent systems & robotics
Research
Research on intelligent systems within the CDERT includes the application of the three major foundational aspects of artificial intelligence, namely logical and statistical reasoning, multi-agent systems and machine learning, in the development of novel intelligent and interactive systems. Our work in AI/ML serves to underpin all the other themes within CDERT.
Our current research activities involve the development of networks for expert agents that are capable of considering inconsistencies in the input data, providing more informed automated decisions [1]; the investigation of machine learning algorithms for identifying maritime objects (including vessels and mine-like objects) from acoustic data [2]; grounding language to vision [3, 4]; and the combination of classic control with reinforcement learning for underwater autonomous vessels [5].
