The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $352,005 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop software systems that enable groups of heterogeneous smart machines—robots, drones, and wearable assistants—to collaborate autonomously while preserving privacy and adapting to diverse operational environments. The project, titled "The Co-Evolve Ecosystem: Collaborative and Evolving Systems for Embodied Intelligence at the Edge," spans three research thrusts. The first develops foundations for collaborative intelligence through resource-aware federated learning, privacy-preserving alignment with diverse human preferences, and cross-architecture knowledge fusion. The second builds runtime systems for deployed embodied intelligence, including unified multimodal inference orchestration, distributed serving for multi-skill agents, and decentralized service-level objective-driven multi-agent resource management. The third enables lifelong ecosystem evolution through dynamic skill composition, privacy-preserving adaptation of cloud-hosted models, and dual-loop co-optimization of agent structure and execution. The project will release open-source software to broaden access to embodied artificial intelligence research and development for applications in autonomous logistics, smart infrastructure, warehouses, homes, hospitals, farms, and smart cities. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2032, with work performed at the University of Maryland, College Park campus in College Park, Maryland. This is a Project Grant, the assistance type under which NSF funds investigator-initiated research and education in computing and information science and engineering.
