Robotics Research
The intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) represents a rapidly evolving frontier in technology and society, poised to revolutionize industries ranging from personal home robot assistants to autonomous vehicles. The department of computer science at UVA is at the forefront of this exciting field, leveraging AI, computer vision, language, and foundation models to advance robot perception, decision-making, and control. By integrating advanced machine learning algorithms with robotics, we are pushing the boundaries of what autonomous systems can achieve, enabling them to operate in complex, dynamic environments with unprecedented levels of autonomy and efficiency.
