Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence and Control Group (AICG)

 

The Artificial Intelligence and Control Research Group (AICG) conducts fundamental and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Control across a wide variety of market sectors and application areas.

 

Much of our work is concerned with the optimisation of highly complex control systems, often with multiple objectives to be satisfied. The group specialises in the application of search techniques such as Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing, combined with AI techniques such as Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Immune systems, to real-life, real-time problems across the engineering spectrum. The group’s work has been applied to the Aeronautical, Automotive, Bio-Engineering, Built Environment and many other sectors. In particular, the group is currently conducting research projects in Energy Efficiency, Carbon and Emissions Reduction,
and Power Optimisation.
