Explainable AI will disrupt the grain industry and give farmers confidence

4 July 2023
The agricultural sector is the least digitized sector in the world, and a large part of food quality assurance is still handled manually. The aim of a research project is to strengthen understanding of and trust in AI and image analysis, which can improve quality assurance, food quality and optimize production.

Cyber-Physical Systems with Humans in the Loop

Constructing cyber-physical systems with humans in the loop enables new applications like bio-computing, active learning systems, and intelligent medical systems. These applications allow humans and machines to collaborate on real-world tasks, integrating aspects of both Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Socio-Technical Systems (STS). They feature close cooperation between software technologies, focusing on situational awareness, safety, privacy, usability, and easy error handling.

Re-use of robotic data in production through search, simulation and learning

A robot database with information on previous robot solutions can save manufacturing companies time and money and allow for smaller-scale companies to automate their production as well. This is the conclusion of the ReRoPro project. Although it sounds simple, there are several challenges involved with creating a robot database. With input from industry and international experts, the researchers have now gained a much better understanding of the challenges.

Initiatives to improve recruitment and retention of IT students

Denmark needs more IT specialists. But how do we get more young people to study computer science and become IT specialist? This project, consisting of two subprojects, focuses on initiatives that can improve both recruitment and retention of a larger but also more diverse group of young people e.g., female students and students without prior programming experience.

Accountability Privacy Preserving Computation via Blockchain

This project aims to combine secure multiparty computation and blockchain techniques, to enable efficient privacy-preserving computation with accountability, allowing computation on private data while maintaining an audit trail for third-party verification. The project can potentially help fight discrimination, catch unethical and fraudulent behavior, and generate positive publicity for honest participation. 

Certifiable Controller Synthesis for Cyber-Physical Systems

As cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are becoming ever more ubiquitous, many of them are considered safetycritical. We want to help CPS manufacturers and regulators with establishing high levels of trust in automatically synthesized control software for safety-critical CPSs.
