On September 20th 2024, Dr Konstantinos Ioannidis from Center for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) presented the TESTUDO project on behalf of the coordinator, Dr. Stefanos Vrochidis (Researcher Grade B’) during the EU CIP & ECSCI Webinar: The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Critical Infrastructure Protection.
The purpose of the webinar was to explore how Artificial Intelligence can enhance the resilience of critical infrastructures, while addressing potential risks introduced by AI systems. Experts and stakeholders from various industries actively participated, engaging in an interactive discussion and sharing their insights and experiences.
During the presentation, Dr. Ioannidis highlighted the challenges posed by cognitive and predictive intelligence for threat/risk identification and operational support in critical infrastructure protection. Focusing primarily on robotic platforms, he introduced the innovative solutions offered by TESTUDO to tackle these challenges. These solutions include visual and multispectral detection, object recognition on embedded systems, activity recognition, cyber threat identification, explainable AI (XAI) for threat assessment, and prediction models using Digital Twins. The positive reception and active participation from stakeholders emphasized the importance and relevance of TESTUDO to the future of critical infrastructure protection. The recording of the online seminar is available here.
