The AI4CE Lab lab (pronounced as “A-I-force”) at New York University conducts multidisciplinary use-inspired research to develop novel algorithms and systems for intelligent agents to accurately understand and efficiently interact with materials and humans in dynamic and unstructured environments. We aim to fundamentally advance Robotics and AI in areas such as localization, mapping, navigation, mobile manipulation, and scene understanding, to address infrastructure challenges on Earth and beyond, including construction robotics, manufacturing automation, and autonomous vehicles.
