At the MPCR lab, we are using deep-learning based artificial intelligence to bring Astro, a quadruped robotic dog, to life!

The 2019 Presidential Gala celebrated the announcement of a one million dollar gift to establish the Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox in the FAU library. This 3,400 sq. foot space will house the MPCR lab and invite students, faculty and industry partners from every discipline to learn about and develop research in artificial intelligence and deep learning.

In 2018 we piloted our Introduction to Deep Learning Summer Short Course, and we were blown away by the responses of our participants! Those involved with the course reported learning an incredible amount and enjoyed the experience. Here are some of the feedback we received:
