Summit for AI Institutes Leadership (SAIL) 2025
|
|
|
The Summit for AI Institutes Leadership (SAIL) 2025 was October 21-23, 2025, outside Washington, D.C. New this year, each of the now 29 NSF AI Research Institutes sent two early career representatives (graduate students and postdoctoral scholars) to showcase their work with the institute, and connect with the broader NSF AI Research Institutes community.
Yuwei Wu, a PhD student in electrical and systems engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, represented TILOS robotics research with her poster Learning Smooth Trajectories for 3D Rigid Body Motions under General Left-invariant Riemannian Metrics. UC San Diego PhD student in computer science Daniel Beaglehole showcased TILOS research in the foundations of machine learning with his poster How theory for feature learning in neural networks can lead to better non-neural models in practice.

New and Returning Seminar Series
|
|
|
For the 2025/26 academic year TILOS is co-hosting a new Optimization for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence seminar series. This new series compliments the TILOS seminar series, which features speakers on the foundations of AI and optimization, as well as the use-domains of chip design, networks, and robotics. The full schedule for both series is available at tilos.ai/seminar-series. Upcoming talks include:

Researchers from UC San Diego, including TILOS Foundations team member Sean Gao and affiliate Rose Yu, received three Western Digital Petabyte Innovation Quest (Peak) awards for pursuing innovative data storage projects. The research teams were each awarded 1.2 petabytes of data storage—that’s more than a million gigabytes—to advance fusion energy; spatial genomics; and preserve cultural heritage sites in 3D.

In this interview with TILOS Robotics team co-lead Henrik Christensen by the Association for Advancing Automation, Christensen offers a deep look into the future of robotics and AI, and shares groundbreaking projects in healthcare robotics, autonomous mobility, and AI-driven programming for robot hands. Dr. Christensen also emphasizes the importance of trade school training, lifelong learning, and bridging the gap between research labs and real-world use.
