Center for Real-time Distributed Sensing and Autonomy

Inaugural Funding from Army Research Lab 2021-2026


Collaborating Departments: Information Systems, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics.

Focus Areas:

  • Networking, Sensing and IoT for the Battlefield

  • IoT for the Battlefield

  • Adaptive Machine/Deep Learning

  • Individual and Collective Health Assessment

  • Adaptive Cybersecurity

  • Cross Domain Machine Learning with Few Labels

  • AI/ML on Edge

  • Predictive Maintenance

The vision of this center is to advance AI-based autonomy in order to deliver safe, effective, and resilient new capabilities across a variety of complex mission types, including search-and-rescue, persistent surveillance, managing, adapting and optimizing smart, connected robots and machinery, and augmenting humans in performing complex analytical and decision-making tasks. These systems are continually getting better, but to achieve their potential, there are still numerous developments required to improve their capability, command and control, interoperability, resiliency and trustworthiness.
