New for 2021-22, UT Dallas has established public locations for two mobility-related research centers at the Richardson Innovation Quarter. They are the Center for Smart Mobility (COSMO) and the MINTS Center. The latter featuring low-cost, sophisticated air, land, and submersible drones. These are two of several research labs, centers, and institutes at the UT Dallas Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science with deep experience and active research in transportation, driver modeling/assessment, smart cars, V2V & V2I, and more.

We look forward to potentially forming multi-PI/faculty teams to help address challenges outlined by private & public sector partners to improve safety, efficiency, and the quality of life for mobility. With 200 active patents and an equal number in process, and with more than 680 PhD-level staff and faculty researchers, the Office of Research and Innovation at UT Dallas is well-positioned to partner with private industry and public sector groups seeking to commercialize innovations or engage with talented startups.
