RELATED PROJECTS
- As smart cities are developed and, as a result, platforms enabled for the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence expand, new and complex threats to their security increase exponentially. The new IRIS platform will increase the security and privacy of these ICT-based systems and will respond to attacks through a collaborative approach.
- The Architectures and Compilers (ARCO) research group is working on the CoCoUnit project to design new architectures for computing systems that are energy efficient, particularly for applications that make intensive use of cognitive functionalities, such as voice recognition, automatic translation, speech synthesis, image classification or object recognition.
- Researchers from the Instrumentation, Sensors and Interfaces (ISI) research group are specialised in the development of electronic instrumentation to characterise a person's cardiovascular system in just a few seconds. The reason for this is clear: cardiovascular diseases cause around three out of every ten deaths in the world, which represents over 17 million deaths annually, according to statistics published by the World Health Organization.
- The Multimedia Applications Laboratory (LAM UPC) has developed an application that measures the anteroposterior movement of the tibia with respect to the femur to help in the diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament knee injuries.
