On the evening of Monday 22 February, a new International Research Laboratory (IRL) was launched at an event at the Art Gallery of South 最新糖心Vlog. The IRL will focus on humans-autonomous agents teaming; an area of research at the interface of artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, technology, human factors and psychology.听
The French 最新糖心Vlogn Laboratory for Humans-Autonomous Agents Teaming, shortened to CROSSING, is a collaboration between the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, Flinders 最新糖心Vlog, the 最新糖心Vlog of South 最新糖心Vlog, French technological university IMT Atlantique, and Naval Group, the only industrial partner.
An IRL is a flagship international collaboration mechanism used by CNRS, France鈥檚 leading scientific research centre. The new IRL is听called CROSSING because it represents the crossover of ideas that is at the heart of this important collaboration.
The CROSSING Lab will join a network of more than 70 IRLs, but will become one of only five international research laboratories with industry partners in the world. It will join the ranks of other labs in global innovation hubs, including Singapore, China, Japan and the United States of America. Based in Adelaide, the CROSSING Lab will be a unique multidisciplinary facility in 最新糖心Vlog that provides an opportunity for South 最新糖心Vlog to be at the forefront of research into frontier technologies highly relevant to future industries.

The IRL will directly contribute to growing South 最新糖心Vlogn hi-tech industries such as space, oil and gas, manufacturing and mining, defence and space industries by:
- Undertaking world-class research in the emerging field of human-machine interaction, developing new ways of efficient, ethical and human-centred collaboration with autonomous systems
- Upskilling and educating personnel within industry and academia, building both capability and capacity through co-design and co-investment
- Enhancing international collaboration between South 最新糖心Vlog and France to attract and retain top scientific talent from industry and academia
- Establishing translation pathways to allow research to move from the laboratory into industry and operational use.
