InterDigital and Inria, the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology, have launched a new AI Common Lab.
The new Nemo.AI Common Lab aims to explore and develop technologies for the coming metaverse, both firms said.
Equipped with funding from both organisations, as well as the French government, the Nemo.AI Common Lab is currently seeking new researchers, PhDs, post-doctoral students, engineers, and interns to work on priority topics. In contrast, both InterDigital and Inria scientists and engineers will serve as research mentors and tutors.
“We are delighted to launch the Nemo.AI Common Lab with Inria and we know this partnership will not only strengthen scientific excellence and visibility in our region but create a space for local researchers and engineers to contribute to the technologies and innovations that will shape our future ecosystems, like the metaverse,” said Lionel Oisel, head of video labs, research & innovation at InterDigital.
“Our expertise complements Inria’s strong research capabilities and together this partnership will bolster innovation across this community,” he added.
The Common Lab will reside in both Inria and InterDigital labs and participants may join scientific seminars, organise public events, jointly deliver presentations, and more in both locations.
The first project addressed by the Nemo.AI Common Lab, which officially launched on 9 June, is called “Ys.ai” and will develop new technologies to enable engagement in the metaverse.
