Research led by PhD student Brok Laschowski was featured on BBC. Brok's research focuses on deep learning for visual intelligence, modelling the visual information processing neural networks in the brain. These brain-inspired algorithms are used for visual scene recognition and environment-adaptive control of robotic systems.
