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 intersection between AI and advanced manufacturing. Our interdisciplinary and synergistic team (20+ faculty) has four research thrusts including advanced manufacturing, sensing network (e.g., 5G), machine learning, and advanced control. The ongoing research projects have broad impacts on aerospace, healthcare, tooling, automotive, energy, 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.
