Key Takeaway:
- Bias-free AI algorithms, circularity in industrial robots and electric vehicles, battery product passports, and predictive analytic tools are key focuses at the Imperial IOTA Infrastructures Lab (I3-Lab).
- The lab aims to integrate DLT into Web3 applications and promote resource-efficient economic growth through sustainable business models.
- The lab, led by Dr. William Sanders, collaborates with IOTA’s Applied Research Team on projects like Autofair and iCircular3.
Imperial IOTA Infrastructures Lab (I3-Lab) Inauguration
The IOTA Foundation recently announced the inauguration of the Imperial IOTA Infrastructures Lab (I3-Lab) at Imperial College London. The lab, supported by a £1 million endowment from the IOTA Foundation and funding from Imperial College London, focuses on advancing bias-free AI algorithms, circularity in industrial robots and electric vehicles, battery product passports, and predictive analytics for pollution detection.
Research Focus and Collaboration
Dr. William Sanders leads the lab, which includes a team of 25 individuals encompassing PhD students and senior researchers working closely with IOTA’s Applied Research Team. The lab prioritizes developing advanced technological solutions to address global issues like climate change, showcasing a model for collaborative research between academia and industry. Projects like Autofair and iCircular3 further the lab’s goals by targeting bias-free AI algorithms and enhancing circularity in industrial sectors.
