CIT Team Wins AI Guardians Competition

On June 18th, a team of PhD students at our lab (Andrij David, Ivan Čík, Lukáš Hruška, Fouzia Adjailia) won Microsoft\’s AI Guardians competition.

The next AI Guardians competition challenges students, researchers, and professors from universities across Europe to solve the global education problem using Artificial Intelligence. Due to safety concerns, this year\’s edition took place online via a Teams group call. The competition resulted in the implementation of creative solutions for students, researchers, and teachers in the field of education based on AI technology.

The idea of our team (Eduka) focused on education. We provide educators state-of-the-art technology to improve their teaching. This tool helps instructors understand how to engage their pupils. Hence by using the latest scientific advancements, we enhance education.​ Therefore we help every student to reach their highest potential.

All over Europe, only 6 promising teams made it for the final round. We went head to head as each of these 6 finalist teams tried to sell their idea to Microsoft\’s panel of specialists. What ensued was an impressive display of competitive zeal, as each group was well-prepared to make a stand in the Shark Tank Pitch. All these teams delivered highly powerful presentations, and everyone did not shy away from answering some of the challenging questions from the judges. But in the end, after a challenging battle, our team won this year\’s edition.

Business Trip to China

Prof. Sincak has been on a business trip in China. The main purpose was to visit Yunnan University, where he signed an agreement about opening a Slovak-Chinese Center for Artificial Intelligence. After that he attended IWACIII conference in Chendu, China, where he gave a plenary talk about Digital Intelligence for Autonomous Social Robotics. Later, he visited Chengdu University of Electronic Technology, where he discussed actual trends in Artificial Intelligence. At the end of his business trip, he visited Dr. Xia in Huawei and had a talk with him about ATLAS AI COMPUTERS and has also visited UBTECH company that deals with the integration of AI and robotics.

CIT na dni otvorených dverí

Dnes sme na dni otvorených dverí Technickej univerzity prezentovali Centrum Inteligentných Technológií, robota NAO aj Rehapiano. Zmerať svoj tremor bol aj premiér Peter Pellegrini spolu s rektorom TUKE. Robot NAO predviedol svoje schopnosti pred publikom na jednotku.

Presenting our research

Members of our lab Norbert Ferenčík and Lukáš Hruška presented our research at the SlovakiaTech expo and at the university\’s Doors Open Day. At the expos, the Rehapiano diagnostics device was presented, which can measure the frequency and strength of tremors and is primarily aimed at monitoring the state of patients with Parkinson\’s disease. The second part of our exhibit was a robotic system for teleoperation with the humanoid Nao robots. Our presentations interested a large number of visitors, among them multiple well-known personalities and the prime minister.

DISA 2018

We have successfully organized the first World Symposium on Digital Intelligence for Systems and Machines. Special thanks to prof. Peter Sincak for making this possible.

Just a quick recap:

The main aim of the symposium was to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary discussion on the intelligence of real and virtual machines. Since we entered the era of big data, Internet of Things and cloud services, embodiment is no more required for intelligence and its evolution. Intelligence as a service appears to be the main challenge towards weak artificial intelligence and a world of many connected machines, fast wireless connectivity and remote brain concepts. The symposium should discuss and agree on guidelines of designing intelligent machines (physical and virtual) and their connection in the sense of Industry 4.0/Reality 2.0. The purpose of machine intelligence has always been to improve the quality of human life. Various fields such as robotics, embodied and non-embodied systems and further can bring inspiration to applications useful for society. Digital Intelligence for Systems and Machines is a big challenge of mankind to benefit from. Business models of these applications are crucial since the balance between human labor and unemployment is a decisive factor in our current chaotic and fast-developing society.
