NES has organized and hosted the Austrian Robotics Workshop (ARW) 2015 on May 7-8 in Klagenfurt. With more than 80 participants and speakers from eight dif- ferent countries this workshop grew into an international event where people from academia and industry meet - botics. Two keynote speakers gave inspiring talks on their thrilling research in robotics. Sabine Hauert from Bristol Robotics Laboratory and University of Bristol explained the development of nano-robots and how they may sup- port medical treatment. Werner Huber from BMW Group Research and Technology presented the self-driving cars, which have received a lot of media coverage lately. In addition, participants from industry and academia pre- sented and demonstrated their demos and posters during an interesting joint session. We have invited people to observe live demonstrations and discuss recent advan- cements face to face. NES members also demonstrated the SINUS project and its achievements in autonomous multi-UAV mission, communication architecture, collision avoidance, path planning, and video streaming. The Austrian Robotics Workshop 2016 will take place in Wels. Hope to see you there!

  • An Abstract of the Dissertation Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Karina A. Roundtree for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering presented on August 21, 2020. Title: Achieving Transparency in Human-Collective Systems Abstract approved: H. Onan Demirel Julie A. Adams Collective robotic systems are biologically-inspired and exhibit behaviors found in spa- tial swarms (e.g., fish), colonies (e.g., ants), or a combination of both (e.g., bees). Collec- tive robotic system popularity continues to increase due to their apparent global intel- ligence and emergent behaviors. Many applications can benefit from the incorporation of collectives, including environmental monitoring, disaster response missions, and in- frastructure support. Human-collective system designers continue to debate how best to achieve transparency in human-collective systems in order to attain meaningful and insightful information exchanges between the operator and collective, enable positive operator influence on collectives, and improve the human-collective’s performance. Few human-collective evaluations have been conducted, many of which have only assessed how embedding transparency into one system design element (e.g., models, visualizations, or control mechanisms) may impact human-collective behaviors, such as the human-collective performance. This dissertation developed a transparency defi- nition for collective systems that was leveraged to assess how to achieve transparency in a single human-collective system. Multiple models and visualizations were evalu- ated for a sequential best-of-n decision-making task with four collectives. Transparency was evaluated with respect to how the model and visualization impacted human oper- ators who possess different capabilities, operator comprehension, system usability, and human-collective performance. Transparency design guidance was created in order to aid the design of future human-collective systems.

As products and services attempt to imitate the intelligence of humans – although the products and services are not making decisions based upon their own moral values – the moral values of the employees and business ethics of corporations that create the products and services are being coded into the technology that is evidenced in these products.

  • Dear Colleague Letter: OFR-NSF Partnership in Support of Research Collaborations in Finance Informatics
    National Science Foundation 4201 Wilson Boulevard Arlington, Virginia 22230 NSF 13-093 Dear Colleague Letter: Date: May 14, 2013 The Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of Financial Research (OFR) of the Department of Treasury share an interest in advancing basic and applied research centered on Computational and Information Processing Approaches to and Infrastructure in support of, Financial Research and Analysis and Management (CIFRAM). The complexity of modern financial instruments presents many challenges in recognizing and regulating Systemic Risk. The topic has been the subject of a recent National Academy of Science Report titled "Technical Capabilities Necessary for Systemic Risk Regulation: Summary of a Workshop." The CISE directorate and the Computing Community Consortium have sponsored workshops on Knowledge Representation and Information Management for Financial Risk Management and on Next-Generation Financial Cyberinfrastructure aimed at identifying research opportunities and challenges in CIFRAM. NSF and OFR have established a collaboration (hereafter referred to as CIFRAM) to identify and fund a small number of exploratory but potentially transformative CIFRAM research proposals. The collaboration enables OFR to support a broad range of financial research related to OFR’s mission, including research on potential threats to financial stability. It also assists OFR with the goal of promoting and encouraging collaboration between the government, the private sector, and academic institutions interested in furthering financial research and analysis. The collaboration enables the NSF to nurture fundamental CISE research on a variety of topics including algorithms, informatics, knowledge representation, and data analytics needed to advance the current state of the art in financial research and analysis.
