Research lab · Chalmers University of Technology · Since 2023

We build AI systems that are usable in the real world.

AIXLab is a research lab at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology. We develop and validate machine learning and multimodal AI systems that integrate domain knowledge and are deployed in practice across healthcare, automotive, transport, and sustainable construction.
