The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Cornell University $222,569 on October 1, 2025, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop machine perception systems that form cross-modal associations between vision, touch, and sound to learn material properties and microgeometry of physical objects. The award funds research across four thrusts: capturing 3D multimodal representations by registering observations from all modalities into a unified 3D model; generating space-time reconstructions of objects from touch and sound during physical interaction using cross-modal visual supervision; learning material representations that capture acoustic properties and integrating them into 3D sound synthesis models; and simulating and learning physical interactions within captured 3D multimodal scenes. The research supports the development of autonomous systems that learn to physically interact with the world without human-provided supervision. Integrated education and outreach activities advance understanding of multimodal machine learning for general audiences and students at multiple levels. The award carries a period of performance from October 1, 2025 through May 31, 2029, with work performed in Ithaca, New York. No subawards are planned for this award.
