Smart Sensors and Intelligent Systems

Tony Farmer, CSIRO

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.
