The laboratories established in colleges and universities are different from those in large companies. In addition to the fields of applied science, there are also some basic theoretical research projects, which cannot be expressed from specific products. Usually, colleges and universities will conduct research in both fields at the same time or even focus on the latter. Considering the position of colleges and universities in academic circles, people should pay attention to their products as well as their level in the field of basic research when they pay attention to the research content of laboratories.
the full name of the artificial intelligence laboratory at p>MIT is CSail (computer science and artificial intelligence
laboratory). Initially, these were two laboratories: the computer laboratory was founded in 1963, the artificial intelligence laboratory was founded in 1959, and the two laboratories were formally merged in 23.
CSAIL is the largest laboratory in MIT and the most important information technology research and development center in the world. Members of CSAIL founded more than 1 well-known companies
, including Colin Angel, the father of robots, Helen greiner, one of the founders of iRobot, Mark Rebert, the founder of Boston Dynamics, and Matt Mei Sen, the head of the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University.
MIT is almost synonymous with top technology. At the end of last year, it released the main innovations of CSAIL in 215, including 3D printed heart, robots that can climb stairs, open doors and even drive, and cancer prediction tools.
Stanford University
The artificial intelligence laboratory of Stanford University was established in 1962 and has been devoted to promoting robot education for more than 5 years. Because of the special connection between Stanford and Silicon Valley, Stanford students have more opportunities to commercialize their inventions. Stanford University announced a 1-year artificial intelligence research plan at the end of 214, which shows its investment and determination in artificial intelligence research.
In addition, Stanford University has published many of their courses on robotics and deep learning on the Internet. Among the professors in Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Andrew
Ng (Andrew Ng) is the most familiar to Chinese. He is a master in the field of machine learning in the world, and the machine
learning course taught at Stanford is very popular. At the same time, he also held an important position in Google's "Google Brain" project, helping Google to build the world's largest "neural network", which can learn real life in the same way as the human brain learns new things. In 214, Andrew joined Baidu as the chief scientist of Baidu.
Li Feifei, a Chinese from Stanford, participated in the establishment of the famous ImageNet computer vision recognition database and challenge, which attracts the participation of image recognition programs of major companies every year, greatly promoting the technical development in the field of image recognition. At present, Li Feifei is the director of Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Carnegie Mellon University
In 1979, Carnegie Mellon University established the Robotics
Institute, which specializes in practice and research in the field of robotics. This institute was also the first university in the world to launch the robot PHD project. There is also a National
Robotics Engineering Centre (NREC) under the college, which cooperates with the government and commercial organizations to conduct high-end project research. ?
At the same time, Carnegie Mellon University is also one of the main contractors of NASA's aerospace scientific research tasks. The Robotics Research Institute of this university has been engaged in the research of self-driving, lunar exploration walking robots and single-wheel gyro rolling exploration robots.
UC Berkeley
UC Berkeley is the most prestigious public school. The robot and intelligent machine laboratory of the school is dedicated to copying the behavior of animals with robots. Its automation science and engineering laboratory is engaged in a wider range of robot functions, such as robot-assisted surgery and automated manufacturing. There are also computer visualization groups where students can learn how to help robots "see".
A robot developed by the University of California at Berkeley can unscrew the bottle cap by itself.
Bristol University
The research field of Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL) of Bristol University covers many fields, such as machine learning, data analysis and mining, image recognition, etc. Besides specializing in computer science and engineering, Bristol University also attaches great importance to the cross-application of computer science in other disciplines. In March last year, the team led by Nello
Christiani, a professor of artificial intelligence, used algorithms to analyze more than 13, online media reports about the 212 US presidential election for the first time in a new study, and summed up the expression rules of the media in the election year to judge their attitudes towards political parties. This is a typical comprehensive study of big data and sociology. The head of ISL is currently Colin
Campell
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Israel is famous for its scientific and technological innovation. Although there is no special artificial intelligence laboratory in Hebrew University there, its achievements in the field of artificial intelligence are no less than many schools that have set up laboratories. Hebrew University also owns Yissum, the world's first technology transfer company, which is exclusively responsible for the commercial application of Hebrew University's inventions. The most famous invention of Hebrew University should be the autopilot system Mobileye, which was adopted by Tesla this year as a weapon against Google in the field of autopilot.
Oxford University
Oxford University doesn't have a special artificial intelligence laboratory, but its strength in deep learning can't be underestimated. In 14 years, Google first acquired DeepMind, an artificial intelligence company, and then started cooperation with Oxford University at the end of the year, employing seven experts in the field of deep learning, three of whom still retained the title of professor at Oxford University. It is these people who worked with DeepMind to develop AlphaGo, which became famous all over the world.
Dale Molle
Dale Molle Institute of Artificial Intelligence (Italian Scuola Universitaria
Professional Della Svizzera Italiana-Instituto Dale Molle di Studi
s). Ull'intelligenza
artificiale) is a non-profit artificial intelligence research institution, which belongs to the School of Information of Lugano University, the Information Technology Department of the Italian-speaking Higher Vocational College in Switzerland and the University of Applied Sciences in southern Switzerland.
The Institute is committed to machine learning, including artificial neural network and reinforcement learning. At present, the laboratory is developing an artificial intelligence system for UAV search and rescue, which can identify complex objects that need rescue from the forest, such as lost people or mountaineers.
SCIAI
SCIAI is called the siena college institute for artificial
intelligence, which, like Bristol university, pays more attention to the joint application of computer science and other sciences, such as economics, sociology and medicine. And it also pays more attention to the research on the ethical issues of AI and the possible impact on society after the application of AI. We believe that the latter should belong to the basic theoretical research in the field of AI, so although it has no well-known products and cooperation, we also selected it
Zurich Institute of Technology
The artificial intelligence laboratory of Zurich Federal Institute of Technology has a deep accumulation in machine vision, deep learning and mechanical engineering. It has trained countless talents in the field of artificial intelligence. CTO of many AI companies at home and abroad have graduated from the school's computer vision field.
On the 25th anniversary of the establishment of its artificial intelligence laboratory, Zurich Institute of Technology showed the latest humanoid robot they built, and its structural design looks quite similar to the human musculoskeletal system. Its distributed automatic control laboratory even made a quadrotor UAV system "Quadrators" with a racket that can be used to play ball.
