UCF Students’ AI System Assists Orlando Health Robotic Surgeries

May 14, 2025
A student engineering project that began with using artificial intelligence (AI) to track cafeteria forks transformed into a system that will help Orlando Health surgeons perform robotic surgeries more efficiently. Laura Brattain, a UCF biomedical engineer, mentored six College of Engineering and Computer Science seniors, who developed the AIMS (AI for Medical Surgery) system that keeps track of…

UCF Researchers Receive $1.2M DARPA Grant to Improve Autonomous Systems Training

July 15, 2024
The AI technologies developed will allow autonomous systems, such as drones and self-driving cars, to navigate unexpected variables. Autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and unmanned aircraft, learn from modeling and simulation. However, the training process can take months to years, and it doesn’t account for the uncertainty found in the real world. In the world…
