Cyber Physical Intelligence Lab

Cyber-Physical Intelligence (CyPhy) Lab


The Cyber Physical Intelligence Lab aims to enable sensemaking through novel sensing applications that enhance the interpretation and understanding of complex, multi-source data. We use and develop state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to a wide range of real-world applications, including instrumented, smart environments, advanced driver assistance systems, collaborative robotics, and smart healthcare. We specialize in machine learning for sensory systems, with a strong focus on 1) Multimodal learning, 2) Generative models, and 3) Large language models, particularly LLM-based systems. Fundamentally, our lab aims to drive the convergence of the digital and physical worlds.

Current Research Projects

We are currently working on the most cutting edge tools in Machine Learning and IoT.

John

Self-Correcting LLMs

Having LLMs properly reason about images with minimal adjustments to the VLM.

Jane

NIH CAMERA Project

Creating a multimodal system for measuring brain-behavior relationships.

Jane

Smart Streetscapes

Jorge Ortiz

Lab Director

Jorge received his BS in computer science from MIT in 2003 and MS, PhD in computer science from UC Berkeley in 2010 and 2013, respectively. Prior to joining Rutgers University, he was at IBM Research working on applications of machine learning to the internet of things. He also spent some time in startups, including a smart-buildings startup named Pangia and a local services startup named VRLocal. He was also an early employee and kernel contributor to Spire Global.
