Communication is one of the necessary condition to develop intelligence in living beings. Humans use several modalities to exchange information: speech, written text, both in many languages, gestures, images, and many more. There is evidence that human learning is more ...

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 infrastructure – keep improvin...

Language is an ability that develops in young children through joint interaction with their caretakers and their physical environment. At this level, human language understanding could be referred as interpreting and expressing semantic concepts (e.g. objects, actions a...

In this project, the team of researchers will address the problem of autonomous robotic grasping of objects in challenging scenes. We consider two industrially and economically important open challenges which require advanced vision-guided grasping. 1) “Bin-picking” for...

The potential offered by the abundance of sensors, actuators and communications in IoT era is hindered by the limited computational capacity of local nodes, making the distribution of computing in time and space a necessity. Several key challenges need to be addressed i...

Edge computing (EC) and the development of portable devices such as cell phones, autonomous robot or health tracking systems represent one of the big challenges for artificial intelligence (AI) deployment. These hardware systems present very tight constraints in terms o...
