Data Science / AI / Robotics
Three disciplines come together to create the technologies that will define the future.
Our AI experts and roboticists are working in concert with our data scientists, who are discovering new ways to analyze, visualize, and use their skills for a common goal: to harness the collective power of data, machine learning techniques, and autonomous systems to address the issues facing the world.

AI is everywhere. Can we make sure it's ethical?
AI powers so much of our world. It’s used by recruiters, police departments and businesses to help make their work more efficient. But with people’s lives on the line, can we trust that the algorithms behind AI are being created fairly? NYU Tandon researchers are helping to create an ecosystem where AI is critically analyzed to minimize the bias behind the code, and to ensure that these systems are used fairly and equitably whenever possible.

Better robotics through better data
At NYU Tandon, researchers are using 5G to connect autonomous teams of robots to complete tough and dangerous jobs, mimicking complex animal behaviors in remotely controlled robots, and creating cheaper, more accessible robots so that anyone can learn to program the next advancement in robotics. The future is here, and it’s being developed by our engineers.

S. Farokh Atashzar
Assistant Professor S. Farokh Atashzar leads Tandon’s Medical Robotics and Interactive Intelligent Technologies (MERIIT) Laboratory, whose mission is to develop and implement artificial intelligence, advanced control systems, signal processing algorithms, smart wearable mechatronic modules, and transparent human-robot interaction systems to augment human capabilities--with a particular focus on interactive Neuro-Rehabilitation Robotic and Surgical Robotic systems.

Julian Togelius
Associate Professor Julian Togelius is bringing advanced AI to the world of gaming. He researches and develops methods for making games more fun, easier to design and develop, more adaptive, or just to enable games and interactive experiences that we cannot yet create. He is the author of the 2019 book Playing Smart: On Games, Intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence, a layperson-friendly volume that explores the connections between games and intelligence to offer a new vision of future games and game design.
Responsible AI and Why it Matters
AI is becoming more and more prevalent in businesses, public services, and other parts of our lives. But when the algorithms behind AI are written with the same prejudices that marr our current society, it has the potential to deepen inequality, not overcome it. In this webinar, members of The Center for Responsible AI walk us through their perspectives on the use of AI and automation, and their recommendations to make sure responsible AI will be the only kind of AI used in the future in this seminar.
