The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Case Western Reserve University $592,000 on October 1, 2026, to develop energy-efficient, secure generative AI systems for hospital robotics operating over next-generation wireless networks under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The project addresses the operational demands of hospital robots that assist surgeons, dispense medications, and provide patient care in environments with low or disrupted internet connectivity. The research develops four integrated capabilities: energy-efficient synchronization of compact vision-language-action models and world models through model distillation and event-driven updates; adaptive coordination techniques for privacy-aware, resilient multi-robot team operations under varying network conditions; a hierarchical federated learning framework with Byzantine-resilient aggregation; and validation of algorithms on both physical robotic platforms and high-fidelity simulations. The work aims to enable secure, reliable, energy-efficient robotic systems that support clinical staff and enhance patient care, with particular benefit to underserved and infrastructure-limited settings lacking dependable connectivity. Performance occurs at Case Western Reserve University's Cleveland, Ohio campus (44106), operating in affiliation with University Hospitals of Cleveland. The award period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
