Researchers at the University of Florida are conducting work at an autonomous drone center for the Air Force and a testing ground called the Autonomy Park for the U.S. Department of Defense.

The project — a partnership between the College of Nursing, the College of Dentistry, the Office of Interprofessional Education, and the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering — uses a combination of AI, virtual reality, and simulation technology to enhance how students communicate with patients, collaborate with colleagues, and develop critical skills essential to clinical practice.

Engineering researchers at the University of Florida are playing a key role in advancing safety and precision in robot-assisted surgery, or RAS.

Athletes Mollie Brewer and Kevin Childs are UF Ph.D. engineering students and key players in the $2.5-million UF & Sport Collaborative initiative.

As questions surrounding the impact of AI continue to capture the public’s attention, UF’s 2020-founded AI Across the Curriculum initiative – with its lauded AI Fundamentals and Applications Certificate – is already paying off for graduates.

Daniel Ferris, Ph.D., a professor of biomedical engineering in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, has shown that our brains react differently when training with robots than when playing against human opponents.

A study by UF researchers highlights the need for more evaluation for trustworthiness and accuracy before OpenAI’s ChatGPT responses can be used as reference resources. Kiley Graim, Ph.D., an assistant professor in CISE, was a coauthor.

When people hear the words “national security,” their minds might quickly go to three-initialed agencies, clandestine operations, and men in dark suits wearing earpieces. But Damon Woodard, Ph.D., director of the Florida Institute for National Security (FINS) at the University of Florida, envisions something different: jobs and research.
