NIYO research

The active research questions driving NIYO across perception, learning and collaboration.

Overview

NIYO's research agenda draws on all six of the lab's pillars, focused on the problems that gate useful, safe collaboration in human environments.

What this covers

Robust perception

Understanding cluttered, changing scenes well enough to act safely.

Skill transfer

Reusing learned behavior across tasks without catastrophic forgetting.

Shared autonomy

Blending human and machine control in real time.

Assurance

Monitoring and verification that make safety claims auditable.

On-device cognition

Running more intelligence at the edge for latency and privacy.

Evaluation methods

Benchmarks that measure real progress, not demo polish.
