The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute $200,000 on August 1, 2026, for collaborative research developing DATA-AGENT, a methodological and software cyberinfrastructure platform for data-centric artificial intelligence in vision-based industrial inspection. The project will deliver open-source software, datasets, tutorials, benchmark challenges, and training materials addressing three fundamental research questions: evaluating quality in large heterogeneous inspection datasets, using human corrections and expert feedback to improve annotation models iteratively, and designing datasets that are representative, informative, and useful for downstream applications. The platform and shared data resource will support researchers, students, and practitioners in evaluating data quality, improving labels, and building useful datasets for industrial inspection applications across manufactured products, medical devices, transportation systems, energy infrastructure, and defense-related components. The project will establish a community ecosystem connecting academic researchers, students, and industry practitioners through the delivered tools and resources. Performance occurs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The award is funded under NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
