The lab joins Georgia AIM
The VEL is part of UGA's work on Georgia Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing (Georgia AIM), funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, building hands-on VR, computer vision and robotics training.

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.
