Intelligent systems are emerging in response to the convergence of the virtual and physical worlds. These systems integrate technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation, and are inspired by the frameworks, strategies, and mechanisms of complex living systems. They drive advancements in autonomous systems, robotics, smart devices, augmented reality, intelligent manufacturing, and other technologies critical to solving today’s complex societal challenges.
The UP Intelligent Systems Center was established to address these challenges by developing innovative solutions and fostering collaboration. The Center brings together expertise from various UP constituent units and external partners to tackle pressing issues and prepare for the future.
