We are excited to kick off this NSF-funded project with our collaborators from UPenn and UC Riverside. Together, we will develop novel and comprehensive trustworthy AI tools providing the umbrella addressing technical (specifically, AI safety and AI security) and social (specifically, AI fairness) trust issues arising in AI systems embedded in transportation cyber-physical systems.

This $5M NSF Center is focused on cyber-physical systems with the aim of pushing the frontiers of knowledge in future transportation infrastructure, which will be transformed by the advent of mobility technologies, notably autonomous vehicles (AVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Aligned in three tracks of autonomy, sensing, and artificial intelligence, this center will generate new knowledge in the theoretical, computational, experimental, and empirical domains. This center is led by UTRGV in partnership with UIUC, UIC, and UC Riverside.
