Artificial Intelligence & Robotics

AI & Robotics Institute

We’re combining foundation models with the latest robotic hardware to drive high-speed, AI-guided experiments to help shorten the research cycle from idea to result.
Interdiciplinary power

Creating impact, together

We collaborate across disciplines and borders, building tools, systems and programs that harness the immense powers of rigorous minds and data technology to create a better future. This connectivity between stakeholders and sectors supercharges outcomes.

We empower those driven by curiosity, creativity and courage to face huge issues, including climate change, food security and global health. We give them the resources and freedom to work at pace and scale to make real-world, long-term impact that changes people’s lives. This is shared progress, powered by shared purpose.

We are building a world-class AI team across six synergistic pillars:

AI Research

Boundary-pushing research in HealthFM, Causal AI, Privacy-Preserving AI, Simulation and Generative AI—anchored by our 20-student annual PhD cohorts with Oxford’s Centre for Doctoral Training.

ML Applied

End-to-end AI solutions addressing pressing challenges across EIT’s programs, bringing impactful solutions into the real-world.

Data Engineering

Robust data engineering foundations and a one-of-a-kind central data hub—core to driving our ML impact and a key differentiator for EIT.

Infrastructure

Scalable infrastructure and tools for fast-paced ML research and development.

AI Operations

Driving operational excellence through deep collaboration and domain expertise.

Robotics Research

Research-led development behind autonomous labs and intelligent systems working in synergy with AI Research and ML Applied to drive scientific and real-world impact.
