MCSecurity project is one of 11 projects funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia under the Program of Cooperation with the Serbian Scientific Diaspora – Joint Research Projects – DIASPORA 2023.

The MCSecurity project earned third place with the highest A-grade amidst 128 project teams. Moreover, this marks the second time our team members (from the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering) have received project funding from the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, a distinction held by only a few teams in Serbia.

The MCSecurity project team consists of seven scientists and young researchers from the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and three scientists from the Duke University – Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This international team, led by Professor Dr. Živana Jakovljević, plans to develop and utilize artificial intelligence techniques for cybersecure motion control within Industry 4.0 in the next two years. Mainly, the team will focus on generating new machine learning-based mechanisms for cyberattack detection on numerically controlled machines with distributed motion control, visually controlled intelligent mobile robots, as well as the integrated process planning and scheduling/rescheduling of cyber-physical manufacturing systems.
