Jonathan Shihao Ji, a computer science professor at Georgia State University, has been awarded a $10 million grant from the Department of Defense to research critical problems in artificial intelligence and robotics, with a focus on human-robot interaction, 3D virtual environment reconstruction, edge computing and trustworthy AI. The research team at Georgia State includes co-principal investigators from the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Computer Information Systems. The grant will allow them to establish the Center of Excellence in Advanced Computing and Software and foster collaborations with researchers from Duke’s Athena NSF AI Institute and partners from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. One major area of research for the center will involve Boston Dynamics’ Spot, a four-legged, dog-like robot.
