Cutting edge #machinery is essential for #harvesting grass, leading #farmers to hiring contracts for the service. However, if that contractor’s machinery is defective it can cause delays and reduce the value of the crop. Lero researchers, at University of Galway, work in collaboration with McHale Machinery to monitor crop characteristics and machine loading, to predict component failure in #agricultural machinery. Learn more about the work of researchers at Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software, including Dr Dallan Byrne, Sean Harkin, Tomas Crotty, Prof. Martin Glavin, and Prof. Edward Jones. #SoftwareForABetterWorld #LeroResearch https://lnkd.in/dTH8zkpA

The EU has introduced new #regulations that mandate certain Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in all new vehicles. These measures, which include drowsiness #detection and advanced emergency braking, aim to significantly reduce deaths and serious injuries on roads. Researchers from Lero's Emerging Risk Group at University of Limerick, and Motion-S, Luxembourg, found advanced #EmergencyBraking is the most impactful #technology, reducing three out of the four most frequent collision categories: intersection (by 28%), rear-end (by 27.7%) and pedestrian collisions (by 28.4%).

Founded in 2007, the Emerging Risk Group (ERG), based at University of Limerick, addresses the European Commission's need for understanding and mitigating risks associated with emerging #technologies. ERG’s #research focuses on risks that lack historical #data, and uses statistical, #MachineLearning, and qualitative approaches to assess and communicate potential threats and ethical issues. Initially concentrating on #nanotechnology, ERG expanded its focus to include #AutonomousVehicle risks, #Cyber, #AI ethics, and terrorism finance related to the dark web. Learn more about the work of Prof. Martin Mullins and Dr Finbarr Murphy, funded investigators with Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software and their colleagues in the ERG. #SoftwareForABetterWorld #LeroResearch https://lnkd.in/evYq2JZz

Two Lero researchers at University of Limerick have received funding of more than €730,000 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic organisation founded by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Dr Priscilla Chan. Dr Maria Doyle and Professor Aedin Culhane received the funding to support their work in Bioconductor, an open-source #software project that provides tools for analysing genomic #data, critical for understanding diseases at a molecular level. “Virtually all biomedical #research now relies on computational tools and infrastructure. By providing specialised training and empowering researchers, we can address local #health challenges, build sustainable development, and enhance capacity for globally inclusive and accessible #biomedical discovery,” says Professor Culhane.
