The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Lehigh University $240,000 on April 1, 2027, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for collaborative research on semantic-aware collaborative perception and networking for autonomous urban mobility systems. The research establishes a new paradigm for collaborative perception and networking that enhances collective situational awareness among autonomous agents—including delivery robots, micro-vehicles, and other mobility systems—while reducing unnecessary network traffic. The project develops communication and sensing technologies that enable selective and predictive information exchange, allowing distributed autonomous agents to overcome sensing limitations caused by buildings, pedestrians, and other obstacles in complex urban environments. The work produces an open-source simulation and evaluation platform supporting reproducible research and broader study of networked autonomous systems. Research findings and technologies advance capabilities for transportation agencies, network operators, and municipalities to deploy more reliable and scalable urban mobility services. The award supports graduate and undergraduate student training in wireless networking, intelligent mobility, and artificial intelligence, alongside outreach activities to broaden participation in STEM. Performance runs from April 1, 2027, through March 31, 2030, at Lehigh University's research facility in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania.
