Computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models:
The computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models aims to enable new developments in machine learning of deep neural network models by providing the specialised computing necessary to train and evaluate the networks. In the last three years, deep networks have smashed previous performance ceilings for tasks such as object recognition in images, speech recognition and automatic translation, bringing the prospect of machine intelligence closer than ever. Modern machine learning techniques have had huge impact in the last decade in fields such as robotics, computer vision and data analytics. The facility would enable Australian researchers to develop, learn and apply deep networks to problems of national importance in robotic vision and big data analytics. Read moreRead less
Advanced three-dimensional Computer Vision Algorithms for 'Find and Grasp' Future Robots. This project addresses crucial limitations of existing vision systems for the robot grasping of irregular objects in messy living environments. This project aims to undertake fundamental research into novel three-dimensional vision algorithms, exploiting multiple modalities (two-dimensional+three-dimensional+video) for scene labelling, object classification, scene segmentation and grasp synthesis to enable ....Advanced three-dimensional Computer Vision Algorithms for 'Find and Grasp' Future Robots. This project addresses crucial limitations of existing vision systems for the robot grasping of irregular objects in messy living environments. This project aims to undertake fundamental research into novel three-dimensional vision algorithms, exploiting multiple modalities (two-dimensional+three-dimensional+video) for scene labelling, object classification, scene segmentation and grasp synthesis to enable future robots to operate in unstructured environments with highly occluded and cluttered objects. It is expected to significantly advance research and to have broad applications, including home robotics to improve the quality of life of elders and people with special needs. These algorithms may also be used in security (explosive manipulation) and agriculture (field crop harvesting).Read moreRead less
A three dimensional video-based vision system for future robots. With the recent introduction of new three dimensional (3D) video sensors, opportunities for the development of advanced 3D vision systems for robots working in dynamic environments are now becoming possible. A real-time visual robotic system will be developed to substantially reduce the expensive costs associated with elder's health and home care expenses.
