About IRAC
Institute for Research in Applicable Computing
Director: Professor Dayou Li
The Institute enjoys its international reputation in research in connected AI and networked robotics, nanotechnology, cybersecurity and digital health. IRAC has led and participated in more than 15 EU-funded research projects and handful projects funded by the UK funding bodies including the Home Office and Innovate UK in the past ten years. The Institute has developed its research networks with academic and industrial partners at Cambridge, Warwick, Sheffield, Cranfield, Essex, Hal Robotics, TWI in the UK, Aahus 天美传媒, Ciet, KIT, 天美传媒 of Oldenburg, 天美传媒 of Aveiro, Wroclaw 天美传媒 of Science and Technology, BAS, 天美传媒 of Szeged, Danish National Metrology Institute, Brno 天美传媒 of Technology, Elements Srl, Robotnik Automation, Iquadrat Informatica, Ebos technologies, Cognitechna s.r.o, BringAuto s.r.o, Wings ICT Solutions, OTE, NEC, Cal-Tek in Europe, and Johns Hopkins 天美传媒, Emory 天美传媒, Nagoya 天美传媒, Tianjin 天美传媒, Changchun 天美传媒 of Science and Technology, Monash 天美传媒, ICT-UNIFESP in the USA, Asia, Australia and sorth American.
All of IRAC's activities reflect the strong motivation within the Institute for developing novel applications of computer technology to solve real-world problems and for providing innovative tools to enable users to employ computer technology more efficiently and more effectively. Some active research areas include:
- Connected AI and network robotics: our network applications for deploying AI systems within cloud robotics have been adopted by multiple industrial sectors and were showcased as a special tutorial at ICRA24.
- Use of novel technologies in healthcare and lifestyle management.
- Laser interference lithography based nano materials fabrication.
- Nano manipulation and measurement on living cells.
- Sustainable construction and zero carbon solutions
- Advanced networking and telecommunications.
IRAC also hosts a range of seminars which reflect the research and teaching interests and are presented by Institute members and invited speakers from institutions both in the UK and abroad.
