New research project: Artificial Intelligence that thinks logically

How can systems solve complex problems such as creating a duty roster in a hospital or a time and room schedule at a university – while remaining clear and easy to follow? In the project ‘EX3: EXplain and EXploit Knowledge EXtracted to Improve ASP’, funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, Alice Tarzariol will be working on new methods for solving these kinds of issues more efficiently and accurately with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

Faster mathematical methods for stable technical solutions

Inverse problems constitute an essential framework for approaching a large variety of issues in technical and medical domains. They are used to determine the underlying causes and structures on the basis of measurements or results. Examples include imaging techniques, where measurement data is used to produce an image of the inside of the body or the inside of a bridge pier. The challenge here is that most inverse problems have the vulnerability that even small perturbations in the data can trigger high oscillations in the solution. A research team at the Department of Mathematics, led by Elena Resmerita, is seeking to develop new and faster mathematical methods to find stable solutions to these problems.

A challenge for swarm robotics: using multiple drones to jointly transport a package

Whenever a package weighing more than a drone needs to be transported to a disaster area, it takes several mini drones to get the job done. Aamna Piracha is researching decentralized formation control and collaborative slung payload transport with multiple UAVs operating as a collective system. She is particularly interested in enabling drone swarms to safely and autonomously maneuver in cluttered and unpredictable environments while carrying rescue packages, such as through collapsed urban areas or narrow streets.
