A new generation of hearing aids, real-time signal processing, the future of Industry 4.0 - there hardly seems to be anything in the field of artificial intelligence that Dr. Justinian Rosca hasn't come up with an idea for. The inventor of the year from Corporate Technology in Princeton (New Jersey) is one of the pioneers in this field. Today, Rosca is researching how robots and transport vehicles can perceive their surroundings and move around autonomously and safely - just like humans. To do this, they need to receive visual and acoustic signals in real time, process them without great effort, predict future changes and use them to make decisions about their next action.
