New paper

You can find below our recently accepted work at IEEE Access regarding “Distributed Maze Exploration Using Multiple Agents and Optimal Goal Assignment”, authored by M. Linardakis, I. Varlamis and G. Th. Papadopoulos. Many existing approaches to robotic exploration adopt optimization techniques through the development of multi-agent systems; however, such methods often overlook critical real-world factors, […]

Ceasefire 5th physical plenary meeting

We’re thrilled to share that our 5th physical plenary meeting was a success! Our team came together in Heraklion, Greece, during September 16 and 17, at the facilities of our partner, FORTH (Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas), to discuss progress, share ideas, and plan for the future of our innovative system. A special highlight […]

Advances in Diffusion Models for Image Data Augmentation

You can find below (in arXiv format) our recent work on “Advances in Diffusion Models for Image Data Augmentation: A Review of Methods, Models, Evaluation Metrics and Future Research Directions”, authored by P. Alimisis, I. Mademlis, P. Radoglou-Grammatikis, P. Sarigiannidis and G. Th. Papadopoulos. Image data augmentation constitutes a critical methodology in modern computer vision […]

Technical description of the Ceasefire system and its use-cases

You can check in the article below a technical description of the technologies behind the Ceasefire Project platform that aims at tackling various types of cyber- and physical-world firearms trafficking, making use of advanced AI technologies. The manuscript is written so as to target the non-that-much IT-background audience. https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.14949
