Influencing Tomorrow’s Tech

Indiana University and Purdue University collaborated to enable new academic research discoveries bringing significant federal grant money to the state and increased the competitiveness of both R1 universities.

The Vehicle Autonomy and Intelligence Lab (VAIL) focuses on the autonomy and intelligence of robotic systems from unmanned ground and aerial to aquatic vehicles.

Big Red 200 is an HPE Cray EX supercomputer with a theoretical peak performance (Rpeak) of nearly 7 petaFLOPS. It supports scientific and medical research, advanced AI, machine learning, and data analytics.

The 10-year, $940,000 lease in Camp Atterbury’s north post allows PRUV to test state-of-the-art, next-generation advanced mobility innovations, including autonomous vehicles and associated technology.
