Multimodal AI and Robotic Systems (MARS) Lab is led by Prof. Jianfei Yang in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
MARS Lab studies Physical AI, focusing on how AI can enable physical systems—such as robotics, IoT, and industrial systems—to perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world.
