The Centre for Future Clean Mobility, based at the Exeter Science Park, has secured £118k funding from the Heart of the South West LEP for its AI engineering lab project. Managed by the University of Exeter, the AI-enabled Co-design in Engineering Laboratory (ACE-Lab) utilises human-AI collaboration for designing innovative product and service solutions. The project will collaborate with SMEs in the region to establish strong industry connections and expertise to optimise a great variety of business solutions. The new lab, equipped with a powerful computer system, contains visualisation equipment and access to industry engineering professionals to help train the AI systems.
According to Karl Tucker, Chair of the Heart of the South West LEP, “This funding extension is a significant step toward advancing scientific excellence in the South West. Projects like ACE-Lab underpin our region’s technological capabilities, ultimately driving economic growth, jobs and innovation”. The University of Exeter is a “leader” in AI-enabled Human-in-the-loop machine learning. The ACE-Lab will enable the Centre for Future Clean Mobility to increase its digital activity to optimise clean mobility solutions, and provide 3D sensing and printing capabilities. Thus, it will transform the clean mobility capabilities for businesses in South West.
In conclusion, this innovative ACE-Lab project provides invaluable opportunities for businesses in the South West region to engage in productive collaborations and expertise-driven optimisations. Ultimately, such advancements will drive economic growth in the region while transforming clean mobility businesses solutions.
