Maritime Robotics: advanced systems for the future of underwater exploration

Talk: "Predictive control of water systems with agents in the loop"

This talk will focus on the integration of heterogeneous agents in the control loop of model predictive controllers (MPC) in the context of water systems. The aim of the talk is to introduce different frameworks on how to effectively incorporate agents into MPC systems and to explore the challenges and opportunities that...

Talk: ‘Intelligent Management of a Fleet of Unmanned Aquatic Vehicles for the Monitoring of Surface Water Bodies (AQUATRONIC)’

The AQUATRONIC project proposes the development of a flexible, robust, and reactive fleet of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) to perform collaborative, real-time monitoring of surface water bodies. The ASVs will be equipped with sensors to measure the main...

Talk: ‘Towards an efficient embedded vision through neural network compression’

Nowadays, deep learning plays a key role in many areas of computer science and related fields such as computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, robotics, and so on. In general, deep models require a large amount of training data, have a significant memory footprint, and often involve high...
