INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTRE World-class research into Artificial Intelligence and Vision, Cognitive Robotics and Communication Technologies State of the art research for the changing needs of society INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTRE The Intelligent Systems Engineering Research Centre (ISERC) operates as an umbrella Research Centre covering the work of the Artificial Intelligence and Vision Group, Cognitive Robotics Group and Communications, Media and Electronic Technologies Group (COMET). The research undertaken by all groups is focused on the changing needs of society. The ISERC is located within the Department of Computing and Communication Technologies which has an excellent reputation for research and knowledge transfer. The centre includes internationally recognised and award winning researchers in all its disciplines. Research within the ISERC developed a technique for improving the control of wind turbines which were subject to variable, volatile and turbulent conditions.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND VISION The Artificial Intelligence and Vision Group’s projects span a variety of applications such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks, uncertainty theory and computer vision. The research focuses on how computationally tractable, theoretically sound and biologically inspired mechanisms facilitate intelligent interaction between humans and machines. Work by the ‘Intelligent’ glasses have been group has been used by Sony in the production of their developed by the Artificial Intelligence Wonderbook (part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership), and Vision Group. as well as leading to ‘intelligent’ glasses which speak to the wearer and can be used by partially sighted people to perform everyday tasks. Previous work has resulted in researchers receiving high esteem awards including the Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award (2008). Four Knowledge Transfer Partnerships - led by researchers in this group - have received Grade A, putting them in the top five percent of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships projects nationwide. COGNITIVE ROBOTICS The Cognitive Robotics Research group undertakes research into human-robot interaction, autonomous vehicles and bio-inspired robotics. A primary focus of this research is enabling more natural interactions between humans and robots. This theme centres largely around the changing needs of society as we become more reliant on robots and need more intuitive ways of interacting with them. The group has recently opened a new research laboratory in the Department of Computing and Communication Technologies where it has welcomed Artie, a fully programmable humanoid robot.

COMMUNICATIONS, MEDIA AND ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES COMET investigates cross-disciplinary research covering user-centric intelligent networks and their applications. The group seeks to determine the type of intelligent communications, media and electronic technologies that need to be developed and how these can be integrated to facilitate ‘green and smart’ societies. Current projects being undertaken by the group include: medical electronics and instrumentation, intelligent transport systems, audio and acoustic systems and immersive media applications. The overall aim of the group is to identify innovative solutions to support society’s growing need for intelligent systems. Artie, the humanoid robot interacting with students.
