The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $301,666 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop wireless networking techniques for connected autonomous mobile systems. The project, titled "VINES: TRACK 1: FieldAware: AI Native Hybrid-Field Networking for Connected Autonomous Systems," advances theory and practice in hybrid-field networking—communications accounting for both near-field and far-field signal propagation as autonomous systems such as drones and robots transition between proximity to and distance from base stations. The work comprises three thrusts: field recognition and link establishment techniques, including near-field and far-field boundary characterization, hybrid-field beam-training, wideband beamforming, and integrated sensing and communication for object detection; AI-native network control and resource management using distributed machine learning to automate field recognition, trajectory design, beam alignment, resource allocation, and spectrum decisions; and integration and evaluation through simulations and testbed experiments. The project trains graduate and undergraduate students in wireless systems, artificial intelligence for networking and sensing, and hands-on experimentation. Performance occurs in Buffalo, New York, with performance ending September 30, 2029. The Research Foundation administers the award as fiscal agent for the State University of New York system.
