ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision. Robots are vital to Australia's future prosperity in the face of high relative wages, low or decreasing productivity, and impending labour shortages. However the work and workplaces of our most important industries are unstructured and changeable and current robots are challenged by their inability to quickly, safely and reliably "see" and "understand" what is around them.

Robots are vital to Australia's future prosperity in the face of high relative wages, low or decreasing productivity, and impending labour shortages. However the work and workplaces of our most important industries are unstructured and changeable and current robots are challenged by their inability to quickly, safely and reliably "see" and "understand" what is around them. The Centre's research will create the fundamental science and technologies that will allow robots to see as we do, and overcome the last barrier to the ubiquitous deployment of robots into society for the benefit of all.Read moreRead less
DeepHoney: Automatic Honey Data Generation for Active Cyber Defence . This project aims to enhance the security of networks and information systems by empowering them with intelligent deception techniques to achieve proactive attack detection and defence. In recent times, the fictitious environment – honeypot designed by human experience becomes popular to attract attackers and capture their interactions.

This project aims to enhance the security of networks and information systems by empowering them with intelligent deception techniques to achieve proactive attack detection and defence. In recent times, the fictitious environment – honeypot designed by human experience becomes popular to attract attackers and capture their interactions. However, rules-based construction of honeypots fails in preserving the privacy, boosting the attractiveness and evolving the system. The project expects to advance deep learning and yield novel DeepHoney technologies with associated publications and open-source software. This should benefit science, society, and the economy by building the next generation of active cyber defence systems. Read moreRead less

Expected outcomes include an artificially intelligent water quality monitoring system that is produced via a unique social enterprise business model. This approach will facilitate widespread remote water quality monitoring, leading to an enhanced understanding of the environment, whilst providing valuable training/education for the community stakeholders involved in the production of the system. The research outcome will be globally significant, enabling end users to meet key water quality objectives over time, and considerably increase productivity in the Australian agriculture/aquaculture industries.Read moreRead less
A data science framework for modelling disease patterns from medical images. A data science framework for modelling disease patterns from medical images. This project aims to extract models of disease patterns from medical imaging data, using deep learning, smart image processing, machine learning, and statistical modelling to quantify and model patterns conventional methods cannot detect. These disease models are expected to improve understanding of particular diseases and enable precision medi ....A data science framework for modelling disease patterns from medical images. A data science framework for modelling disease patterns from medical images. This project aims to extract models of disease patterns from medical imaging data, using deep learning, smart image processing, machine learning, and statistical modelling to quantify and model patterns conventional methods cannot detect. These disease models are expected to improve understanding of particular diseases and enable precision medicine, which recognises that there are important differences between individuals with a particular disease, and that when patients are separated into sub-populations with similar disease patterns, treatment can be tailored to these sub-populations.Read moreRead less

Genetic Programming for Big Data Analytics. The project aims to extend a powerful machine learning method, called genetic programming and also developing a new concept called Alpha program, for big data analytics. This project expects to generate a new approach by finding a systematic approach to develop gene structures using information theory. By borrowing the best genes from the population of programs, the Alpha program concept will be developed for the first time. The proposed approach aims ....Genetic Programming for Big Data Analytics. The project aims to extend a powerful machine learning method, called genetic programming and also developing a new concept called Alpha program, for big data analytics. This project expects to generate a new approach by finding a systematic approach to develop gene structures using information theory. By borrowing the best genes from the population of programs, the Alpha program concept will be developed for the first time. The proposed approach aims to enhance genetic programming for many practical problems. I contend that not only finding better tools for big data analytics is in the best interest of machine learning and big data communities, it also provides significant benefits for other communities and industries in Australia.Read moreRead less
Manoeuvrable burrowing robots for underground search. It is very difficult to locate items that have been buried underground or to find out their condition without digging them up. There are a number of situations involving leaking underground chemical storage tanks, and pipelines together with improperly disposed of chemical containers where chemical leaks can pose dangers to the environment and human health. This project aims to develop a robotic system that can burrow through the ground and h ....Manoeuvrable burrowing robots for underground search. It is very difficult to locate items that have been buried underground or to find out their condition without digging them up. There are a number of situations involving leaking underground chemical storage tanks, and pipelines together with improperly disposed of chemical containers where chemical leaks can pose dangers to the environment and human health. This project aims to develop a robotic system that can burrow through the ground and home in on sources of leaking chemicals. Such a system could pinpoint the sources of leaks without requiring extensive excavations.Read moreRead less
