Research

From fundamental research to real-world impact.

ERA Lab advances fundamental research and real-world systems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, and human-centered applications — organized into five research areas and four long-term programs.

Research areas

Artificial
Intelligence

Foundation models, reasoning, and human-centered AI.

Intelligent
Systems

Multi-agent systems, human–AI collaboration, and complex systems.

Healthcare AI

AI for health, biomedicine, and clinical decision support.

Research
Infrastructure

Tools, datasets, and platforms for open scientific discovery.

Knowledge
Systems

Knowledge representation, scientific AI, and information systems.

Featured research programs

Four programs, one goal: AI that is safe, useful, and human-centered.

ActantOS

Runtime safety and verification for multi-agent systems.

A self-hosted enforcement kernel that intercepts tool calls between agents and the systems they act on — evaluating each call against policy before allowing, pausing for approval, or blocking.

ScienzaOS

Research infrastructure for open science and collaboration.

The platform for academic life: Research Agent, Teaching Studio, and Business Collaboration on one shared foundation of sources, review, rights, and provenance — agents prepare, people retain authority.

Agent Platform

Governed AI agents with clear permissions and an auditable record of every action.

An operating layer connecting channels, agents, people, and systems. It applies rules and scoped permissions, requests human approval when needed, and records actions and outcomes.
