The Artificial Intelligence Coalition held a professional day on June 15 (Tuesday) and a public exhibition on June 16 (Wednesday). Developments of SZTAKI and other members of the National Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence (MILAB) were also on display at the exhibition held in the Q building of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics
On 15 June MI Coalition Professional Day. The Minister and Coalition partners were able to see the developments and demonstrations that anyone could see on the second day of the exhibition. In addition to MILAB members, the Ministry of the Interior, BME, Bosch, Continental, Ericsson, IBM, T-Systems, as well as some companies involved in the practical application of artificial intelligence, among the partners of the MI Coalition, also exhibited.
Among the demonstrations presented by SZTAKI, the drawing robot developed in the Engineering and Business Intelligence Research Laboratory could be seen and even tested, which was also presented by the Institute on the night of the researchers, which were virtually held in 2020 due to the epidemic situation. The robot draws a portrait of the human face by taking a photograph of the person, which is vectorized by an algorithm, that is, “translates” the image into lines that the robot can interpret. The robot arm draws a portrait of the person along these lines with a felt-tip pen
The SZTAKI System and Control Theory Research Laboratory and the self-driving car of the Széchenyi István University of Győr were also on display. Built on a Nissan Leaf foundation, the stand-alone vehicle is equipped with a variety of sensors along which you can navigate, even in traffic. Those who wanted to see actively moving, self-propelled vehicles were not disappointed either: the agile maneuvering autonomous drones and the virtual car model car were also on display, the latter taking on the obstacles of a roundabout as if it were only maneuvering in reality.
The exhibition also included an aircraft model with flexible wings developed in the SZTAKI System and Control Theory Research Laboratory. As a result of the research developments of the institute, the fuel consumption of aviation will be much more efficient, thus increasing the load-bearing capacity of the aircraft of the future. The wings are tested on a machine with a wing span of seven meters in Munich, but those interested could also learn all the important things about the essence of the procedure at the exhibition.
Another important development of SZTAKI is the non-contact infant diagnostic tool, which can be used to monitor the vital signs of the babies in the incubator. in hospitals without the need to apply electrodes to their sensitive skin surface. The Machine Sensing Research Laboratory, together with Semmelweis University and Medicor, developed this procedure, which can even be used for home care – and this tool was also on display at the exhibition.
Research areas cultivated by SZTAKI are in line with the development goals of the Accredited Innovation Cluster of Hungarian Medical Manufacturers and Service Providers (MediCluster). Based on this – in order to strengthen their cooperation – during the exhibition, Cluster signed an entry declaration by Professor László Monostori, Director of SZTAKI and Dr. Steiner Arnold, President of MediCluster, President and CEO of MEDICOR Zrt.
