The University of Illinois received a $356,787 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), effective July 15, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2031. This CAREER award supports the development of self-regulating artificial intelligence (AI) agents capable of operating safely and reliably in physical environments such as factories, hospitals, and warehouses. The research deliverables include the creation of introspective reasoning methods enabling agents to detect and mitigate perceptual and reasoning failures during task execution; reflective explanation mechanisms grounded in episodic memory that allow agents to retrieve past experiences and proactively seek targeted human feedback; and language-guided self-organizing world models that enable agents to revise internal beliefs and adapt decision-making based on corrective feedback. Beyond core research outputs, the award integrates educational and workforce development components, translating research findings into learning experiences, student mentoring programs, interactive demonstrations, and community engagement activities designed to expand artificial intelligence literacy and strengthen AI workforce readiness. The project establishes a unified framework for embodied intelligence in which natural language serves as a cognitive mechanism for self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-regulation of AI systems. This integrated approach addresses critical safety and reliability gaps in current AI deployment while simultaneously advancing the broader AI workforce pipeline.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
