|
Smart Cities
|
| Supported by HatchX |
|
How might we develop technology for rapidly detecting concealed threats (e.g., IED) hidden behind plastics, metals, and/or electronics while also creating an interactive IoT honeypot for attack discovery and investigation?
|
Smart Cities
|
| Supported by HatchX |
|
How might we enable through-wall sensing of people for more effective emergency response and efficiently identify the geographical location where a given image was captured?
|
Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
|
| Supported by HatchX |
|
How might we enhance the efficiency and performance of AI and ML models deployed on edge devices?
|
Smart Cities / Artificial Intelligence
|
| Supported by DBShenker |
|
How might we utilise generative AI to enhance the turnaround time for designing layout iterations in the RFQ process, which traditionally involves multiple iterations using various 3D software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, or Unity, a process known for its time-consuming nature?

Smart Cities / Artificial Intelligence / Sustainability
|
| Supported by DBShenker |
|
How might we efficiently control environmental conditions, reduce energy usage, and save on running costs for air-conditioned warehouses aiming for net-zero emissions, given the challenge of maintaining specific humidity and temperature levels while minimising energy consumption and costs, which typically involves significant effort and expense in tuning and maintaining air conditioning systems?
