Many hands make light work: the same applies to multiple robots and drones, which are capable of quickly scanning large areas, and can also clean or inspect them. Khalil Al-Rahman Youssefi’s doctoral thesis focuses on developing new technologies that allow swarms of robots to fully map an area using a method known as ‘coverage exploration for robot swarms’.
How do we perceive each other when we regard each other as strangers? This is one of the central themes identified by Cornelia Muschet in her literary analysis of Takua Ben Mohamed’s graphic novels. In her thesis, the doctoral candidate in Italian Studies came to a conciliatory conclusion: Ben Mohamed’s characters often accept prejudices about those from other cultures as fact, even though they do not exist. The author often sees herself as a stranger; she is perceived as different. Her work addresses topics such as questions of identity in clothing, the impact of images of others, stereotypes and prejudices in intercultural communication, and the concept of ‘othering’. In October 2024, Cornelia Muschet completed her doctoral thesis with an oral defence at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Using non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), it is possible to analyse which devices in a household are currently consuming electricity without having to attach separate measuring instruments to all of the consumers. Emir Sinanović, a university assistant in the Smart Grids working group at the Department of Networked and Embedded Systems, hopes to combine this analysis with a large-language model that works rather like ChatGPT.
In her Master’s thesis, mathematician Celina Strasser sought to solve the longest path problem using reinforcement learning, a method drawn from the field of Artificial Intelligence. Her work was honoured with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research Award in 2024.
