The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Research (CAIR) advances AI systems that operate across physical, interactive, and connected environments. Located in Pangborn Hall, CAIR brings together faculty, doctoral scholars, students, and partners to develop intelligent systems that can sense, reason, communicate, and act in real-world settings.
CAIR’s work spans Physical AI, Interactive AI, AIoT, multimodal perception, signal and image processing, autonomous systems, robotics, and responsible agentic AI. Through interdisciplinary research and applied innovation, CAIR focuses on building AI technologies that are trustworthy, human-centered, secure, and ready for real-world impact.
