The European Media and Immersion Lab Project
The Centre for Spatial Intelligence is proud to be part of the European Media and Immersion Lab, supported by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe and UKRI.
Centre for Spatial Intelligence
Advancing spatial intelligence by integrating AI, sensing, robotics, and spatial cognition to bridge the physical and digital worlds.
Our research
Research in the Centre for Spatial Intelligence is broadly grouped under four key themes, with interdisciplinary crossover.
Developing methods for world models using multimodal sensing and perception to enable robust spatial understanding and prediction
Designing intuitive AR/VR and mixed-reality interfaces that enable natural interaction with spatial data for analysis, decision-making and collaboration
Advancing perception, navigation and learning for safe, efficient and adaptive autonomous robots operating in complex real-world environments
Studying human spatial reasoning and addressing ethical, social and privacy issues arising from large-scale spatial data and AI systems.
Bridging the divide
Spatial intelligence is the use of technology to perceive, understand, reason and interact with the world in 3D space and time.
Recent advances in computer science, engineering, psychology, health and AI mean it's more important than ever before to create technologies that seamlessly combine the digital and physical worlds, allowing both humans and machines to work more efficiently in dynamic and complex spatial environments.
The Centre for Spatial Intelligence will focus on fundamental and applied research requiring expertise in spatial computing, AI, data analytics, and advanced engineering capability. We will work across disciplinary boundaries and tackle spatial challenges in health, rehabilitation, sport, and digital entertainment.
