Brown University received a $346,851 National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Project Grant (CFDA 47.070) awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. The award supports research developing a scientific framework enabling artificial intelligence systems to learn directly from video observations and physical interactions with their environment. The project introduces the concept of "adaptable video blueprints"—visual representations that allow autonomous agents to translate visual experiences into generalizable sequences of physical actions across diverse tasks, environments, and robotic embodiments. This research addresses a critical limitation in current AI systems that rely heavily on massive amounts of text or human-labeled data. The technical approach comprises three integrated research thrusts: developing visual planners utilizing video generation models to predict future states necessary for goal achievement; implementing inverse dynamics models to translate predicted visual sequences into specific motor commands; and establishing an automatic self-improvement loop enabling agents to refine planning and execution through continuous experience. Beyond the core research objectives, the project incorporates significant education and workforce development components, including specialized course design, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and mentorship programs supporting students from high school through the doctoral level. These efforts align with the NSF CISE program's emphasis on foundational research and workforce training to advance U.S. competitiveness in artificial intelligence and technical innovation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
