4 funded PhD position at BITS Pilani India

by ABHIJIT DAS

*For all details see attachments, * *The application will be open subject to the availability of the positions * *Position 1: *under Asian Smart Cities Research and Innovation Network (ASCRIN) in collaboration with BITS Pilani and La Trobe University, Melbourne Australia, *Title of the project:* “Low-cost empathetic robotic solution for caregiving (LERSCe)”. *Abstract:* Australia and India have an elderly population which is rapidly growing. Studies indicate that almost half of the current population of over 75’s suffer from physical and/or mental impairments and as a result are in need of a high level of care. With an increasing elderly population and limited healthcare professionals, automated AI-aided health caregiving services offer a scalable solution to cope. Moreover, these solutions can be made efficient and cost-effective. One key service area where need outstrips human resources is in the delivery of remote physiotherapy. This project proposes to develop a novel soft-robotic actuator for the purpose of delivering remote physiotherapy in the home. A closed loop edge AI framework will drive the actuators to optimize service delivery. The edge framework will be self-contained to address privacy and security concerns. Control models will be trained offline and run locally on edge-capable devices. Machine learning methods, such as deep learning, will be explored to optimize actuator operations for maximum comfort and service efficacy. The feedback loop may include facial and audio expressions and information from other sensors such as skin resistance and pressure to measure performance. Hence, there are two distinct aspects of the project: 1) the development of a lightweight, low-cost soft-robotic actuator 2) the development of an actuator control model which factors user behaviour and emotional feedback. Feedback may be derived from a suite of multimodal sensors including, but not limited to vision, tactile, and skin resistance. *Position 2: *funded by BITS Cross-disciplinary Research Funding (CDRF) *Title: *Design, Development and Control of a low-cost AI-enabled 3-DOF Compliant Manipulator Abstract: The aim of this project is to develop a robotic manipulator system that can be safely employed with human workers and which can effectively coordinate with them. This would require an interdisciplinary approach towards System Design, Control Law Design and Brain Computer Interface (BCI). A 3-DoF robotic manipulator model with flexible joints and torque controlled actuators will be designed. Then incorporate improved user-machine adaptation algorithms in a BCI. *Position 3 and 4: *funded by TiH-ISI Kolkata *Title:* Generalized Tampering Detection in Media (GTDM) Abstract: We plan to robustify and generalize the manipulation attack detection by exploring monocular-based depth to better discriminate the spatial and temporal synergy in the media. Along with this, we will explore the power of SSL and multi-task learning (MTL) while learning the 3D reconstruction.

ECVP 2024 in Aberdeen (25-29th of August)

by Manassi, Mauro

Dear colleagues, We are proud to announce the 46th European Conference on Visual Perception that will take place in Aberdeen, Scotland from Sunday 25th to Thursday 29th of August 2024. Our website is now online: https://ecvp2024.abdn.ac.uk/. Aberdeen is Scotland’s third largest city, right on the heels of the worldwide famous Scottish Highlands, and it is within easy reach thanks to its own international airport (with regular connections to Dublin, London, Manchester, and Amsterdam), railway station (Eastcoast mainline from London), and ferry terminal. THE PROGRAM The conference will feature a mixture of keynote lectures, symposia, talks and poster presentations, and tutorials over five days. The social program will include the Welcome Reception, a poster session with associated whisky tasting, the Illusion Night, the Conference Dinner, and a Farewell Party. This year, for the first time, we are also introducing Perceptio-Nite (a networking event targeted at students), an exciting series of roundtable discussions during lunchtimes, and a third Keynote Lecture on new relevant findings in vision science (Spotlight in Vision). Prior to ECVP, we will be also hosting the Visual Science of Art Conference (VSAC, 22-24th of August) at the Old Aberdeen university campus. More information will soon be available at www.vsac.eu<http://www.vsac.eu>. SUBMISSIONS AND DEADLINES Submissions will be available in form of symposia proposals, posters or talks in forms of abstracts, and contributions to the Illusion Night. More specific symposia information will be circulated in a few weeks. Detailed information can be found at https://ecvp2024.abdn.ac.uk/submission/registration/ Symposium submission opens: December 10th Symposium submission deadline: January 19th Registration opens: February 5th Abstract submission deadline + Early Bird registration: April 5th Abstract acceptance + Travel Awards notification: May 31st Illusion Night submission deadline: June 24th Late registration deadline: mid August ECVP and ECEM We are aware that the recently announced dates for ECEM coincide with the ECVP conference in Aberdeen. As customary, the ECVP 2024 dates were announced two years in advance during the ECVP 2022 business meeting to facilitate planning for attendees. We understand that the ECEM recent decision was based on their local organisational issues; we share the disappointment of those who are unable to support both meetings. We have reached out to ECEM organisers to find a solution in the interest of the vision community and will get back to the vision community as soon as we can/know more. ECVP 2024 is strongly committed to be a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive conference where you are inspired and supported in your scientific goals (see our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion statement https://ecvp2024.abdn.ac.uk/conference/edi-statement/). We look forward to welcoming you to Scotland!
