Fox19: UC hosts international aerospace conference on AI

Fox19 highlighted an international conference taking place at the University of Cincinnati that is exploring the future of artificial intelligence.

UC is playing host to the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society's conference, which has drawn experts from around the world to UC's new Digital Futures building to examine innovations in artificial intelligence or AI.

Fox19 also highlighted robotics research in UC Professor Ou Ma's lab, where he, his students and his postdoctoral researchers are developing autonomous satellites that can refuel or repair other satellites in space.

In his lab, Ma is studying the complicated problem of approaching a malfunctioning or inoperable satellite that might be tumbling on its three axes in orbit and the challenge of reacting to that object's yaw, pitch and roll to safely capture it for repairs.
