Mission
The vision of NJAMI is to serve as a national nexus point of the public-private innovation ecosystem in AI manufacturing. Three core objectives of this Fraunhofer-style AI Manufacturing Institute are to support fundamental research, engage the manufacturing industry, and foster education and workforce development at the intersections of AI, advanced manufacturing, and workforce. Our interdisciplinary and synergistic team (20+ faculty, ~100 graduate students) has four research thrusts: advanced manufacturing, wireless network (e.g., 5G), AI/machine learning, and advanced control. The ongoing research projects have broadly impact on machine, tooling, aerospace, automotive, energy, healthcare, and materials industries. The state-of-the-art machine tools, metrology equipment, and materials testing facilities in the 3,000 ft2 NJAMI offer excellent opportunities for meeting our core objectives.
