Reinforcing Space Situational Awareness Data from Opportunistic Star Trackers Using Advanced Sensor Fusion Techniques KU Leuven
Given the increasing congestion of Earth's orbits, there is a need for improved Space Situational Awareness (SSA). Star Trackers present on active satellites are nowadays earmarked to aid in the mapping of space debris. In this framework the methods to reconcile and combine data from different types of star trackers integrated on diverse platforms positioned in specific orbits need to be investigated. The research focuses on inventing ...
Towards a knowledge-based task specification method for autonomous robot situation awareness KU Leuven
Scalable multidimensionAl sitUation awaReness sOlution for protectiNg european ports KU Leuven
Nowadays coordinated and every time more complex terrorist attacks are shocking the world. Due to the progressive rely of industrial sector and many critical infrastructures (CI) (e.g. EU ports) in ICT systems, the impact of a coordinated physical attack, a deliberate disruption of critical automation systems or even a combined scenario including both kind of attacks, could have disastrous consequences for the European Member States’ regions ...

Enhancing situational aware navigation for indoor robot applications through active perception and standardization KU Leuven
Knowledge from situational awareness enables a robot to improve its navigation in terms of safety, efficiency and precision. This thesis aims to conceptualize such knowledge by extending the semantics of standardized indoor map representations. Additionally, the process of obtaining the knowledge, i.e., situational assessment, from the map data is investigated in a probabilistic setting. The joint purpose of situational assessment and robot ...
Situational aware autonomous systems with online task coordination and negotiation KU Leuven
This PhD project will be part of a larger Flanders Make SBO project, AssemblyRecon, that tackles current issues with reconfigurable assembly system (RAS) configurations. They typically result in a suboptimal space and capital expenditure utilization as (1) they are not continuously operating at full potential (e.g. volume changes due to product ramp-up, market fluctuations or end-of-life) and (2) they need to be re-engineered drastically and ...
Launching awareness and chasing consciousness: Unconscious processing of causality and animacy. KU Leuven
The mystery of conscious visual experience has intrigued many philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists for decades, if not centuries. One of the insights research on this topic has yielded is that there is no one-to-one correspondence between physical visual input and our corresponding perceptual experience. Indeed, in some specific situations visual input can be presented to the observer, while remaining invisible. The ultimate goal ...
