Abstract This research placement examined the barriers to widespread adoption of smart technologies by the elderly. There were three major considerations: our dependence on automation, how we can improve lives and its trustworthiness. With an ageing population, automation will reduce economic and infrastructural pressures hence increasing the need to develop and deploy such technologies. The […]

One of the most recognisable systems of artificial intelligence is the artificial neural network (ANN), which is loosely modelled after the animal neocortex- […]
Abstract Drone transportation is currently characterized by limitations such as the vehicle’s autonomy, the number of packages that can be loaded, and the battery life. In this project, graph theory was used to model a logistic network based on UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), also known as “drones”. It was then attempted to optimize the delivery […]
Abstract Lunar Mission One is a publicly-funded project that aims to pioneer inclusive space exploration that belongs to everyone, planning to send an international robotic lander to Moon and leave a record of life on Earth there. This essay aims to design a data structure for the mission’s public archive. With Wikipedia as the […]
