International Graduate School on Control of Soft and Articulated Elastic Robots
05 June 2023
About 40 registered PhD students and Post-docs from different European countries participated in the course taught by EMERGE partner Cosimo Della Santina (Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands) and Alessandro De Luca (DIAG, Sapienza University of Rome).
[In the Media] Avvenire: Ideas. Every intelligence (artificial and otherwise) requires ethics
04 June 2023
The EMERGE Project and the theme of artificial agents awareness is analysed and debated by Vincenzo Ambriola in a recent opinion article in the Italian newspaper Avvenire.
Publication: Towards Fault Mitigation in a Robot Swarm Using Neuroevolution
02 June 2023
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Bristol aim to learn a mitigation strategy using neuroevolution in a fault-discriminatory metric space and demonstrate the strategy in a realistic intralogistics use-case.
International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining
30 May 2023
EMERGE partners from UNIPI are organizing the “5th International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining (XKDD 2023)” during the next European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML-PKDD 2023), to be held in Turin, Italy, on September 18th, 2023.
Publication: Heterogeneity of Faults in a Robot Swarm: Identifying Discriminatory Metrics
29 May 2023
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Bristol present a decentralized, data-driven method of fault detection where individual robots self-detect faults based on measures of their local environment – either in the range of sensing or on-board.
Publication: Gaussian Belief Propagation for Distributed Swarm Sensing
29 May 2023
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Bristol investigate the Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP) algorithm, which shows great potential as a general distributed knowledge inference algorithm for use within swarms of robots.
International Workshop on Pervasive Artificial Intelligence
26 May 2023
