The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop energy-efficient computing hardware and algorithms for localization and mapping tasks in constrained cyber-physical systems. The project aims to design specialized chips that can perform these fundamental tasks in a fraction of the size, weight, and power of current state-of-the-art solutions. This research will enable greater autonomy for a diverse range of resource-constrained applications, including consumer electronics, robotics, and medical devices. The project also plans to create a new graduate course at the intersection of computer architecture, integrated circuits, and robotics, as well as an outreach program for high school students. The grant period runs from June 2024 to May 2027.
