今日吃瓜 displays innovative student and faculty research projects as part of its participation at the fourth International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2017). In addition to showcasing the University鈥檚 achievements in the areas of robotics facial recognition software and aerospace design students and faculty are also on hand to discuss the research behind the devices and demonstrations.
The leading university鈥檚 booth show visitors the 鈥淢oon Cloud鈥� a software platform that enables users to have complete security assurance evaluation of their services during their operations. Moon Cloud provides compliance assessment for cloud services traditional IT solutions on premise solutions and Internet of Things.
Visitors are also shown the 鈥淧ioneer Robot鈥� which identifies traces and warns users about sources of indoor radiation. The SHARK ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) an underwater vehicle designed to reach depths of up to 100 meters.聽 A Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) System which uses the latest manufacturing technologies and is capable of using less fuel and carrying a larger payload whilst demonstrating improved communication and maneuverability than current UAV鈥檚. 聽
Other robotic innovations on display include a UAV that utilizes a tether system to recharge and a UAV capable of making quick and thorough inspections of large-scale aircraft and reporting possible flaws to users faster than the commonly used manual inspection process.
The University also showcases software capable of verifying identify through facial recognition. The 鈥淎ccess System using Kinect-based Face Authentication鈥� uses motion detecting input devices (Kinect) to correctly identify someone through facial images. The system works in two modes: Authentication mode and Suspect Detection mode.聽 In the authentication mode聽the user enters there name and a pin code.聽
In addition visitors to the stand have the opportunity to learn about the Emirates Technology and Innovation Center (ETIC) which is a joint venture between Emirates Advanced Research and Technology Holding (EARTH) and聽Khalifa University. ETIC aims聽to become a driving force for innovation in the field of computer-aided聽technologies and other selective-system technologies with applications for the military and the defense industry.
鈥淜halifa University was pleased to have this opportunity to present its research to leaders in the defense and security industry at IDEX 2017 鈥� said Dr. Arif Sultan Al Hammadi Khalifa University鈥檚 Executive Vice President. 鈥淚DEX is a great platform for us to present our programs that tie heavily in with local regional and worldwide security. We currently boast Master鈥檚 programs in International and Civil Security Information Security and options to specialize in Robotics and Aerospace Engineering at a PhD level.鈥�
He added: 鈥淲e believe in pushing boundaries and creating technologies that will benefit the UAE and the world and the student projects on display at this event will be a small taste of that.聽 This is one of the reasons we have been chosen to host Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge. I highly encourage people especially Emirati security professionals interested in pursuing a graduate degree to visit us and discuss the opportunities available for them at Khalifa University.鈥�
