Research topics

  1. Object detection and tracking
  2. Robotics
  3. Human-machine interaction
  4. Control and optimization
  5. Machine learning
  6. Biomechanics
  7. Virtual and augmented reality

Description of laboratory and equipment

The group uses three laboratories:

  • Laboratory for Biomechanics, Automation and Systems
  • Laboratory for Expert Systems, Machine Learning and Image Processing
  • Laboratory for Distributed Systems and Software Engineering

The laboratories are equipped with various devices for measurements in biomechanics (force platform, EMG, XSens inertial sensors) and image acquisition (camcorders, 3D cameras and high-speed cameras…), as well as other sensors (Hololens 2, sensor glove, accelerometers, Kinect). In addition to the above, the laboratories are also equipped with several drones (with RGB and multispectral cameras), mobile robotic platforms (BlueROV2, Leo Rover, Mover6, M5ver 5), robotics kits (Arduino, NXT Mindstorm, Turtlebot) and several types of embedded computers.

project title

Computer intelligence for recognition and support of human activities (CIRESA)

Description of research in a 1-year term

Research planned in the next one-year period will include the following activities:

  1. Analysis of collected recordings of outdoor terrain
    It is planned to record several forest and agricultural areas with drones with multiple sensors (RGB, multispectral, LiDAR), and fusion of the collected data.
  2. Research of algorithms for controlling mobile robots
  3. Development of advanced algorithms for predicting the trajectory of monitored objects
    In points 2 and 3, the focus is on developing advanced algorithms for predicting the trajectory of moving objects of interest and planning the trajectory (and control commands) of the robotic system so that they can be intercepted/monitored.
  4. Advanced architectures of neural networks in medicine
    The research involves developing procedures for breast cancer detection from mammographic images using learning from a small number of input images.
  5. Multispectral sensors and multispectral image processing algorithms
    As part of this part of the research, the reflection characteristics of different fruits and other objects in nature will be examined for different frequency channels, with the aim of examining the possibility of applying new knowledge in improved object detection.
