Autonomous Robotic Arm Manipulation for Planetary Missions using Causal Machine Learning

no code implementations1 Mar 2024 C. McDonnell, M. Arana-Catania, S. Upadhyay

Autonomous robotic arm manipulators have the potential to make planetary exploration and in-situ resource utilization missions more time efficient and productive, as the manipulator can handle the objects itself and perform goal-specific actions.

Supporting peace negotiations in the Yemen war through machine learning

no code implementations23 Jul 2022 M. Arana-Catania, F. A. Van Lier, Rob Procter

This development poses significant challenges for conflict mediation, as mediators struggle to make sense of conflict dynamics, such as the range of conflict parties and the evolution of their political positions, the distinction between relevant and less relevant actors in peace-making, or the identification of key conflict issues and their interdependence.

A mixed-methods ethnographic approach to participatory budgeting in Scotland

no code implementations20 Sep 2021 Jonathan Davies, M. Arana-Catania, Rob Procter, F. A. Van Lier, Yulan He

Participatory budgeting (PB) is already well established in Scotland in the form of community led grant-making yet has recently transformed from a grass-roots activity to a mainstream process or embedded 'policy instrument'.

Machine Learning for Mediation in Armed Conflicts

no code implementations26 Aug 2021 M. Arana-Catania, F. A. Van Lier, Rob Procter

Apart from illustrating the potential of machine learning tools in conflict mediation, the paper also emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary and participatory research design for the development of context-sensitive and targeted tools and to ensure meaningful and responsible implementation.
