AREAS OF FOCUS
Intelligence is connected.
So is our perspective.
Five complementary fields that connect research questions with the physical world.
Embodied Intelligence
How agents perceive, learn and act through interaction with their environment.
Exploring the connections between perception, cognition, decision-making and action — and how intelligent systems learn through their physical embodiment and feedback from the environment.
Robotics
Robot movement, manipulation, control and real-world applications.
Exploring robots interacting with the physical world, including motion planning, manipulation and system control, and connecting foundational methods with practical settings.
Artificial Intelligence
Methods that support learning, reasoning and decision-making in intelligent systems.
Considering artificial intelligence methods for embodied systems, including how data, models and experience can support environmental understanding, task planning and decisions about action.
Intelligent Sensing
Acquiring, combining and interpreting information about the physical world.
Considering visual, tactile and other sensory information, and how multiple sources can help systems understand their surroundings, recognize change and support action.
Human–Machine Integration
Interaction, collaboration and complementary capabilities between people and intelligent systems.
Considering how people and intelligent systems can work together, including interaction methods, collaboration and the role of human needs and experience in system design.
