Robotics and autonomy: From space robots to applications in daily life
Robots are an integral part of our world, with mostly non-autonomous systems providing support in practically every aspect of modern life. These robots are used in industry, surgical procedures, and the household, with more autonomous robots developed for space and deep-sea applications which are more detached from human activities. Dr Sirko Straube and Professor Dr Frank Kirchner from the German […]

Adaptive experiments: Machine learning can help scientific discovery
Machine learning can help scientists design experiments. Scientific discovery relies on experiments that build our understanding of natural phenomena, and traditionally has been based on trial and error. Depending on the goal, different machine learning strategies can be used for adaptive experiments: active learning, maximising information gain, Bayesian optimisation, bandit approaches, and reinforcement learning. Cheng Soon Ong, machine learning scientist […]

Vesalius Innovation Awards: Impactful technology and the Research World
The Vesalius Innovation Awards is a yearly event hosted by Karger Publishers which honours young and innovative start-up companies in the fields of health and open science. The award’s name comes from the 16th-century physician Andreas Vesalius, a pioneer in the field of human anatomy, whose work revolutionised medicine for generations to come. This article features interviews with the three […]

Machine Learning Week Europe 2022 is live!
Machine Learning Week Europe is live in Berlin! But what even is it? Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence, where software applications and computers learn how to improve and redesign their ability to do tasks – completely independently from their human creators. When commercially deployed, it’s called predictive analytics. Around the world, these tools are being exponentially rolled-out […]
Predictive discarding for sustainable Industry 5.0
The computer chip shortage has prompted Dr Geert van Kollenburg and his colleagues at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands, to find data-driven methods to optimise chip manufacturing processes. As part of the MadeIn4 project, they have developed a predictive discarding framework in which quality predictions from artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are used to decide on whether to discard an […]

International Day for Universal Access to Information 2022 is here! #AccessToInfoDay
International Day for Universal Access to Information 2022 (IDUAI) is here! Ensuring equitable access to information is about tackling inequalities and working collaboratively to disseminate and increase our shared knowledge. Research Outreach firmly believes, like the organisers of IDUAI, that a free-flowing exchange of knowledge and learning is essential for our scientific, technological and societal advancement. To celebrate IDUAI, enjoy open […]

Improving the safety of unmanned aerial systems: A fuzzy logic–AI approach
With their ever-increasing capabilities and applications, the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) is set to soar. This creates an urgent need for solutions that safely manage UAS operations in congested low-altitude airspace. Some advanced UAS-control methods are based on reinforcement learning techniques, but these are not yet fully validated. Taking a fuzzy logic-based approach to this problem are Dr […]

Moving closer to ideal care for heart failure patients using eHealth and Artificial Intelligence
Heart failure (HF) is a growing challenge which imposes unsustainable demands on healthcare systems worldwide. Professor Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca and Hesam Amin from Maastricht University Medical Center, are leading the international PASSION-HF project, which is developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven eHealth system that enables self-care for patients with chronic HF. AI, personalised coaching, and serious gaming are included, providing […]
Rethinking the reverse side of Artificial Intelligence
The changes brought by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are shaping our social, economic, and political reality, transforming the human world as we know it. These changes are alleged to be radically different from those experienced in the past. Žilvinas Svigaris, a researcher at the Department of the History of Philosophy and Analytic Philosophy, Vilnius University, Lithuania, challenges this notion as he […]

Transforming medical imaging: Artificial intelligence for smarter healthcare
Research conducted by Dr Seong K Mun, Professor at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, aims at maximising the utility of imaging technology in healthcare. Dr Mun has more than 40 years of academic research in imaging; beginning with the development of one of the first superconducting MRI systems in the 1980s. Along with his research partners, Dr Shih-Chung B […]
