KIOS’s AI Research capabilities revolve around the development of new and adaptive AI algorithms and models, that facilitate real-time, efficient transformation of big data into context; this allows autonomous, human, or hybrid operation of large-scale systems and networks, essentially turning data into smart decisions. In detail, KIOS operates much like biological systems; it utilizes state-of-the-art sensing, mobile (UAVs, UGVs, remotely operated, etc.), or stationary (cameras, satellite data, environmental sensors (pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.), to build datasets, which can also be fused by crowdsourced data. The Center uses these datasets to develop, train and build state-of-the-art AI models, capable of converting, in real-time, and in an efficient manner (i.e. optimal use of resources) raw data into context relevant to the application. The Center’s application areas focus on monitoring, management, security and protection, and control of critical infrastructures – such infrastructures usually encompass power and energy networks, water distribution networks and wastewater management, transportation systems and networks, telecommunication systems and networks, health and safety, and emergency management and disaster relief operations.
