Autonomy + Synthetics

Autonomy & Synthetics examines the next horizon of machine behavior, from agentic AI and robotics to synthetic environments and immersive computational systems.

This area investigates how autonomous technologies sense, interpret, and act within complex contexts, and how synthetic modalities (synthetic data, synthetic media, synthetic worlds) reshape interaction, simulation, and design.

The program explores emergent coordination, multi-agent dynamics, ambient intelligence, and the evolving boundaries between real and constructed environments.

Focus includes:

• Agentic-AI and multi-agent systems

• Robotics, drones, and automated decision systems

• Synthetic data, synthetic media, synthetic worlds

• Immersive and ambient computational environments
