The ADA Research Center is a five-year project that includes research participants from several universities. The Center, based at the University of Michigan, aims to streamline and democratize the design and manufacturing of next-generation computing systems. By challenging the physical limits of existing hardware, ADA seeks to make innovations in the fields of autonomous control, robotics, and machine-learning. ADA is led by Mary Lou Dorf Collegiate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Valeria Bertacco. Bertacco is also a Thurnau Professor and serves as U-M’s Vice Provost for Engaged Learning.
