This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support Alabama A&M University in enhancing its artificial intelligence (AI) research and education capabilities. The project, titled "EXPANDING EDUCATION & RESEARCH IN AI-ENABLED SWARM COMPUTING EVOLUTION (EXPERIENCE)," aims to augment AAMU's AI infrastructure, research on AI-enabled autonomous systems, and curriculum focused on AI-enabled robotics and swarm computing. Key elements include expanding AI-based research on security, trustworthiness, communication, and vision-sensing for autonomous swarm systems, developing new undergraduate and graduate courses in these areas, and providing a summer bootcamp to engage high school students in STEM fields like programming, machine learning, and robotics. This effort seeks to strengthen AAMU's position as a minority-serving institution and further diversify the pipeline for AI-focused education and workforce development.
