Grant: Canada Excellence Research Chairs

Every year, our machines are becoming smarter and more adaptable. Realizing their full potential poses fundamental scientific challenges at the intersection of mechatronics, computer vision, computing, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science, and also poses fundamental philosophical, ethical, and legal questions. How can these machines operate safely and efficiently in the human world, with all its dynamism, uncertainty and complexity, and how should they behave?The Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Human-Centred Robotics and Machine Intelligence will launch an ambitious multidisciplinary research program integrating theory, computation and experiment. International collaborations will bring together researchers with expertise in mathematics, engineering, health science, social science, and philosophy to pioneer a new range of intelligent technologies that will change forever and for the better how we live, work and playEvery year, our machines are becoming smarter and more adaptable.
