The MasterMinds Lab centers its research on one core theme: interactive artificial intelligence technologies and human behavior.
To drive these advancements, the lab leverages key technical AI components, focusing primarily on:
With a commitment to socially aware and explainable AI systems.
The MasterMinds Lab is dedicated to developing interactive AI technologies such as serious gaming, augmented and virtual reality, intelligent tutoring systems and natural language processing and data science.
The lab’s mission and vision are to develop AI technologies combined with the impact on and input from human behavior, across multiple sectors in society in the field of aerospace, logistics, maintenance, and education focusing on robotics and avatars, serious gaming and learning, language and data science technologies and virtual and augmented reality solutions.
The impact of the lab lies in accelerating the development of AI technologies across multiple sectors in order to achieve decent work and a steady economic growth with a special focus on ensuring high quality education.
Serious games and logistics – Investigating the cognitive processes and environmental determinants behind successful mission-critical decisions in the Port of Rotterdam.
VR for air force simulations – Understanding to what extent VR technology proves effective in transfer of training and learning processes in order to develop AI technologies to better adapt to the pilot.
AR & VR for production and maintenance – Answering fundamental questions such as how the task and technology type impact key learning outcomes, including transfer, retention, and generalization of learning.
Evidence-based prevention (predictive analytics) – Investigating prevention behavior in groups of people based on large and diverse datasets.
Virtual reality in education – Developing algorithms to control the behavior of intelligent tutors in virtual environments, including speech synthesis, facial expressions and body movements.
