The artificial intelligence shown in old science fiction movies is rapidly converting into a reality, a process that has started a few years ago. Machines can already reason and perform tasks that closely imitate human behaviour. One of the priorities of the researchers at BISITE is to work for the autonomy and connection of electronic devices.

As a result, artificial intelligence is the protagonist of many of our projects, including the following: ALTAIR, DOYFE, EBIKEMOTION, EKGMOBILE, HAWK MULTICOPTER, PANGEA, SMART LOCATION SYSYEMS, visit to the Cathedral of Salamanca and VISUALCGH. Our experience in the field is evident as we have performed numerous technological integrations of multi-agent systems, case-based reasoning systems, deliberative reasoning systems, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms etc.  for different sectors including health, finance systems, risk prevention and the incorporation of people with special needs in the labour market.

Research in this field is so important to us that we have organized many congresses to encourage development and promote the advances made in this field, as in the case of the PAAMS congress (Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems).
