Research & Innovation
In the research arena, AIUB has boldly continued with its academic journals: AIUB Journal of Science and Engineering (AJSE), ISSN # 1608-3679 and AIUB Journal of Business and Economics (AJBE), ISSN # 1683-8742. Since the first publications in 2002 by the Office of Research & Publications (ORP) of AIUB, three issues per years are being published regularly and the journals have been appreciated by the academics of the country and abroad. To make its unique mark in the research arena, AIUB has launched the nation's first online databank. This databank contains historical financial data of nation's business, stock market, economic data and HR data. In 2006, four students from its Computer Engineering department constructed an autonomous robot vehicle called 'Robo-Car' as their final design project. It is an autonomous car capable to move without human-control and detect obstacles. By sensing the presence of obstacle, it makes instant decision to select its appropriate path. Inventors of Robo-Car were inspired by the Fire Fighting Bot, a project presented in a robot competition at Trinity College, USA.
