Smart Sensors and Intelligent Systems
Research in the Intelligent Systems group of CSIRO Industrial
Physics and the ICT Centre is directed towards the design and
performance of large networks of the future that may be used for
communications, sensing, processing etc. These networks may be fixed
or mobile (or both) and may be on physical scales ranging from nm to
km. In addition, large networks of the future will invariably be
complex, they will need to be scalable, robust, fault tolerant,
secure, stable, dynamic, reconfigurable . and will require
decision-making based on sensed data, system knowledge and learnt
knowledge.
The Intelligent Systems group is investigating disruptive
technologies to address many of these features based on a
multi-agent approach to system design issues, incorporating
distributed intelligence, decision making, machine learning and
emergent behaviour. The approach encompasses a wide range of
potential application spaces with the present work focused on
structural health monitoring for aerospace vehicles, distributed
energy management and agricultural / environmental monitoring.
