Research interests
Nick Wright is developing AI systems for use in unusual environments where cloud services are not easily accessed - this includes both factories and extreme environment (such as the deep ocean, the artic or space). Current projects include the use of real time image analysis in manufacturing for inspection of products, cetacean species identification, deep ocean surveying and low-cost environmental monitoring.
