Research Group Ubiquitous and Intelligent Systems (UBIX)

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Systems

UBIX researches intelligent cyber-physical systems for smart mobility, autonomous machines, distributed intelligence, and energy systems, with a strong focus on embodied AI.

Our Research

UBIX investigates how intelligence emerges from the interaction of software, sensing, control, and physical systems.

The group’s research spans distributed and embodied AI, autonomous machines, cooperative perception, and data-driven energy systems — with a recurring focus on the algorithms, architectures, and infrastructures that let intelligent behaviour scale from a single device to large connected environments.
Methodological work is grounded in real systems. The group operates two experimental facilities — the 360Lab for autonomous mobility and robotics, and the EnergyLab for energy and grid research — which provide the platforms, data, and instrumentation used to validate models in operational conditions.
