Design and Development of Autonomous Disinfecting Embedded Systems for COVID-19

AI COVID-19

Design and Development of Autonomous Disinfecting Embedded Systems for COVID-19

One of the major challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic is frequent disinfecting. This is very critical for places like hospitals and long-term care. In most places, human operators perform the cleaning but it may cause them to be infected with the virus because of the shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) and many of the unknowns of COVID-19. The aim of thisCOVID-19 project is to improve Cyberworks Robotics’ navigation technology on existing (a) floor disinfection machines (e.g. wet floor scrubbers) of various types used in hospitals, (b) high-intensity UV disinfection machines, and (c) chemical mist disinfection machines. This would allow hospitals to disinfect the hospital surfaces on a more frequent basis than is possible with human cleaners (due to both the cost and availability of human operators) and also simultaneously to increase the quality of cleaning by ensuring that some surfaces are not missed due to human error and neglect

Machine Learning for Materials Discovery and Design

The objective of this project is to combine machine learning methodologies and electronic structure theory for the purpose of designing new materials through computational modelling. Achieving this goal will be important for the fields of Advanced Manufacturing and Energy (Materials). We will perform electronic structure calculations on a large database of existing materials (transition metal surfaces) and use results of these simulations as input to a machine learning model. The developed model will then be tested against new materials outside of the test set to confirm the model’s validity and transferability. This machine learning model will be used to identify new catalytic materials for use in water splitting and CO2 reforming devices. The project will combine high performance computing and machine learning to enable accelerated material discovery.
