In manufacturing environments, human workers interact with increasingly autonomous machinery. To ensure workspace safety and production efficiency during human-robot (HR) cooperation (HRC), continuous and accurate tracking and perception of

The READERS project proposes new unsupervised computational models to automatically extract background knowledge after reading large amounts of unstructured text. This knowledge will be in the form of classes, categorized entities and

The REDONDA project aims to design a next-generation replication protocol for blockchain. To achieve this, the project taps into recent advances in networking, secure computing and distributed systems. At the scale of a datacenter, the

Reuse of learnt knowledge is of critical importance in the majority of knowledge-intensive application areas, particularly because the operating context can be expected to vary from training to deployment. In machine learning this is most

The problem of symbol grounding attempts to associate symbols from language with a corresponding referent in the environment. Traditionally, research has focused on identifying single objects and their properties. Similarly, affordances

Motivation for the study: A growing body of evidence suggests that integrated technologies of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and virtual reality (VR) environments provide a flexible platform for a series of neurorehabilitation therapies

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes ubiquitous and is leading to a technological paradigm shift. This trend is driven through an increasing hyperconnectivity based on the integration of distributed systems into the

The recent wave of machine-learning (ML) based artificial-intelligence (AI) technologies is having a huge societal and economic impact, with AI being (often silently) embedded in most of our everyday experiences (such as virtual assistants

5G is arguably the most energy-hungry mobile technology yet, with a scalability close to the limit of what the planet and society can environmentally and practically afford. There is already plenty of research towards sustainable and zero

Since the emergence of Cloud Computing and the associated Over-The-Top (OTT) valueadded service providers more than a decade ago, the architecture of the communication infrastructure − namely the Internet and the (mobile) telecommunication
