A brief overview of the cutting-edge research

"The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

Albert Einstein

Edge Computing and IoT/UAV Networks

Our research develops AI for low-power and limited communication, computation resources on edge devices on ground and UAV. Learning algorithms to update models on the edge and in distributed environments. 5G-enabled UAV for autonomous navigation and relays.

5G Communications

Our research shall address limitations of current 5G for different domains including air-to-ground and air communications. This in combination with novel approaches in interference mitigation and channel modeling enables deployment in urban environments and will bring together 5G on edge with AI analytics

Data Engine and Machine Learning

Machine learning with explainability and uncertainty: the ability to assess the performance and relay it to operators for AI-assisted decision making. This will enable data models to explain its current situation and to adapt to unfamiliar environments by training with new data.

The research will also develop methods of information fusion and situation awareness in producing a common operational picture for modernized command and control systems.

Research in edge computing and IoT, UAV networks, 5G communications, data engine with machine learning

The research is integrated together as a development in architecture for defence/security and demonstrated at test sites in collaboration with City of Calgary.
