Balabza lab is a community of scientists whose goal is to develop scientific and application projects in the various fields of Computer Science.
The laboratory is actively working in the fields of unmanned vehicles, autonomous robotic systems, next generation expert systems and in other areas of Artificial Intelligence.
Mivar-based intelligent planner of robot actions – MIPRA
For the first time in the world, mivar expert systems were used for solving action planning problems for robotic systems. The KESMI (Wi!Mi) Razumator solution was used to create a mivar-based system called MIPRA (mivar-based intelligent planner of robot actions), which delivers a qualitative (by several orders of magnitude) boost to the process of solving STRIPS-type problems, i. e. constructing algorithms for planning the actions of a robot tasked with relocating blocks in the blocks-world domain.
The mivar approach implemented in MIPRA allows it to handle tasks with more than three towers on the table and with varied numbers of blocks, even in changing conditions.
Mivar control system of enforcing traffic regulations – MCS TR
One of the most important components of saving lives on the roads is to improve road traffic safety by
means of enforcing traffic regulations by drivers. Mivar technologies of the development of expert
systems based on logical inference machine Razumator are capable of processing in real time the
information received from the system of technical vision about the road situation and build algorithms
of the driver's actions that are fully consistent with traffic regulations. Thus, currently, there are all
necessary modules to create Mivar control systems of enforcing traffic regulations (MCS TR) on the basis of
Razumator and expert systems that can be used for driver assistance systems. Such systems will prompt
the driver the maneuvers allowed by traffic regulations, and in case of violation of traffic regulations
will inform about the violation. In case of legislative authorization Mivar control systems of enforcing
traffic regulations will inform state body about the violation and fine a driver similar way to the existing
complexes of fixation of violations of traffic regulations. Mivar control system of traffic regulations will
be installed in cars to help drivers and evaluate their actions through the whole volume of traffic
regulations, in contrast to existing systems which are able to capture only the "simple" violations of the
regulations (one rule "If-Then").
The proposed concept of constructing Mivar control systems of enforcing traffic regulations meets
the requirement of economic accessibility of the product for a wide range of buyers. MCS TR can be
embedded in new cars in factories or can be installed as additional equipment in the cars which are
already in use. Due to the high computational power of Mivar Razumators, there are big opportunities
for implementation of high-speed driver assistance systems and decision support systems for unmanned
vehicles; this is especially important for real fast-changing road conditions.
