Using data science and decision support tools for autonomous operation of safety-critical electricity grid infrastructure KU Leuven
Using data science and decision support tools for autonomous operation of safety-critical electricity grid infrastructure KU Leuven
The European energy system is undergoing a massive transformation as part of broader climate change mitigation efforts and energy security concerns. While societally important, this transformation, most notably the rapidly increasing proliferation of variable renewable energy sources (wind and solar) and accelerating demand electrification (heat, transport, industry), threatens to destabilise the electric grid and even cause large-scale ...
Development of an autonomous (i)SIMPLE patch for the sampling of blood and detection of viral infections KU Leuven
The development of an autonomous microfluidic patch using (i)SIMPLE technology for the sampling of blood using microneedles, and the detection of the Lassa and Ebola virus.
Military artificial intelligence beyond autonomous weapons: an examination of the legal implications of using non-weaponised artificial intelligence in armed conflict KU Leuven
Acoustic model for threats detection in autonomous driving vehicles KU Leuven
Future urban mobility will see the large-scale deployment of electrified vehicles with driving assistance systems, such as autonomous vehicles, coexisting with other vehicles and road users. One area that requires further attention is the use of acoustic event detection/classification in conjunction with sound source localization to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles. The purpose of this research is to develop a methodology able to ...
Virtues and duties in networks of military practice: the impact of artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies on hybrid approaches to military ethics KU Leuven
Modern militaries adopt ‘hybrid’ ethical approaches, combining elements of consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Deontology and virtue ethics are typically central, with virtue ethics tending to predominate. But AI and (semi-)autonomous military technologies could disrupt this balance. For instance, some in the literature argue that because the role of an operator of an unmanned drone is so different to that of a traditional ...
Global Acoustic interaction and Psychoacoustic impact of the autonomous vehicles in interior and exterior NOISE KU Leuven
Future urban mobility is envisioned with electrified vehicles (xEV) with driving assistance systems (such as autonomous vehicles, AV) coexisting with other road users like pedestrians and cyclists, resulting in smart and sustainable cities with less air and noise pollution.
However, one of the most significant problems with xEV in urban areas is the lack of noise. The noise reduction of vehicles has been very welcomed by society ...
