Fujitsu and Carnegie Mellon Launch Joint Research Center for Physical AI

Fujitsu Limited and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) announced in a press release the creation of the Fujitsu-Carnegie Mellon Physical AI Research Center. The new center will advance research and development of technologies that enhance the capabilities and scalability of physical AI, serving as a global hub for research and social implementation.

The center will focus on enabling AI systems to operate in real environments and interact with people and infrastructure. Applications are expected across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, construction, infrastructure, and healthcare. The initiative aims to integrate fields including robotics, AI, simulation, human robot interaction, and ethics.

Faculty from CMU in disciplines such as robotics, machine learning, language technologies, human computer interaction, electrical and computer engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and philosophy will participate. They will collaborate with Fujitsu scientists and engineers to develop physical AI systems designed to address real world challenges through close cooperation between academia and industry.
