What if elementary school students could learn how artificial intelligence works by moving, jumping and playing? A multidisciplinary team of University of Florida researchers is exploring that question through AI-PLAY, a new NSF-funded project that connects students’ own movements to foundational AI concepts.

A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes could cause an autonomous vehicle or robot to misjudge how far away an obstacle is, potentially triggering an unexpected maneuver or even a collision, according to new University of Florida research.

Sanjay Ranka and Todd Manini are developing a tech platform that will enable researchers to study older adults remotely. 

UF’s new Jacksonville campus launched two engineering master’s degrees this fall. 

Each summer, Sanethia Thomas, Ph.D., brings UF students to South Africa to create tech solutions for community problems. 

Sarvenaz Myslicki (BSCS ‘13) is many things: executive, mentor, mom and certified yoga instructor. But one identity provides the foundation for them all: Gator engineer. With an engineering degree from the University of Florida, she approaches “customer-centric” design through the lens of engineering systems. She builds digital platforms that are reliable, scalable and intuitive for […]

Beginning fall 2026, the University of Florida’s Jacksonville campus will launch two engineering master’s programs, as university leaders work to build a national security research hub at the site.

UF Innovations Transform Health, Safety and AI Across the globe, smart sensors are driving a new era of health care, transportation, safety and intelligent automation. From autonomous vehicles navigating through smoke and darkness to wearable devices that monitor human movement and brain activity, sensors are rapidly transforming the way people interact with technology and the […]

As thermal cameras become commonplace on autonomous drones and vehicles, a University of Florida engineering professor is working to make sure they can’t be maliciously tricked into “seeing” things that aren’t there. 

University of Florida researcher Sumit Kumar Jha, Ph.D., is focused on strengthening the security measures built into AI tools to ensure they are safe for all to use.
