Physical AI: Sensors, Systems, and Action

The center studies foundational technologies that ground artificial intelligence in the physical world.  

We investigate how to engineer, optimize, and secure systems that complete the AI loop from Sensing to Reasoning to Taking Action.

Our research spans trustworthy sensors; embedded and edge computing and intelligence; adaptive application-aware networking; and safe, verifiable physical interaction through robotics and autonomous systems.

We explore impactful applications that require real-time, low-latency action, geo-distributed infrastructure, and distributed intelligence; exemplified by robot-assisted surgery, remote healthcare, and extended-reality rehabilitation.
