Georgia AIM (Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing) won a $65 million Build Back Better Regional Challenge award from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. At UGA, Jaime Camelio, Beshoy Morkos and Kyle Johnsen lead work on a mobile AI studio. Lab students, including Andrew Rukangu, are building hands-on virtual reality, computer vision and robotics modules for it. The work also supports Drawn Together.
