Turning movement into AI lessons for the next generation
What if elementary school students could learn how artificial intelligence works by moving, jumping and playing? A multidisciplinary team of University of Florida researchers is exploring that question through AI-PLAY, a new NSF-funded project that connects students’ own movements to foundational AI concepts.
UF engineering research uncovers hidden vulnerability in how autonomous systems see the world
A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes could cause an autonomous vehicle or robot to misjudge how far away an obstacle is, potentially triggering an unexpected maneuver or even a collision, according to new University of Florida research.
Researchers launch smartphone platform to monitor senior safety
What if researchers could understand an older adult’s health and well-being not just during an occasional doctor’s visit, but continuously — in the context of everyday life? CISE Distinguished Professor Sanjay Ranka and College of Medicine Professor Todd Manini are part of G-CARE, a new research platform designed to bring that idea closer to reality.
