MIT Research Lab Strategy Triad

Why “Strategy”?

• Because aspire to both understand & improve how research is undertaken

• Particularly interested in how the few influence the many to accomplish bold goals– Lab Group– Center & Department– Institution-wide

Topics Covered Include – University Research Agendae, Sponsor Relations, Faculty Reinvention, Lab Founding, Lab Mergers &

Splits, Hiring & Tenure Decisions, Major Research Initiatives, Lab Culture & Community

• Where we are?

• Where we’ve been?

• Where we’re going?

Funding Profiles

• 35% industrial funding

• ~$1.8M in reserve

• NTT is five years– $1M directly in research funding to AI Lab– + first year fellowships

• Oxygen is five years– $1.6M directly in research funding to AI Lab– + some salary support– Nokia, Philips, Acer, Delta, Hewlett-Packard + NTT

• Compaq, Merrill-Lynch, Samsung, Sapient

Source: Rod Brooks

Faculty Profiles

• Four (or five) untenured faculty within the Lab

• Faculty slots open in EECS – i.e. at Departmental level

Source: Rod Brooks

Space

• May get some transition space before move into the Stata Center– possibly in Tech Square

• Stata Center move repeatedly rescheduled

• Planning space layout is very politically charged

Source: Rod Brooks

Possible AI Lab Spaces• bio labs• vision labs that need controlled lighting• controlled lighting vision lab -- fully enclosed, no windows• holodeck space -- fully enclosed, no windows• humanoid robotics lab• motion capture vision lab - multiple cameras, people moving about• instrumented rooms• surgical lab (controlled lighting)• human subject gait and motor control (manipulandum)• biorobotics lab• medical vision lab• sound lab• human intelligence enterprise lab• natural language labs• machine learning labs

Opportunities

New building

New physical layout

New intellectual layout

What lab spatial, logistical & intellectual recombinations?

3 Basic Scenarios

1. More of same

2. Thoughtful shifts & modest recombinations

3. Radical restructuring

Why Merge Labs?

• Operational Efficiency

• Concerted Fundraising & Grantcrafting

• Aligning Related Research Areas

Space Use Aspirations

• Efficiency of co-location

• Serendipity of easy mixing

• Capacity for recombination

• Supporting actual research

Important Operational Intangibles

• GSB / GSL

• Dangerous Ideas

• Big lectures

• Small seminars

• Faculty lunches

• Group meetings

Inspiring Faculty Reinvention

• Totally new research themes or modest shifts?

• Differentiating selves from others

• Top global expertise

• Frequency ~ once or twice/decade

Unifying Research Themes

• Living Machines

• Conceptualizing Complexity

• Genomic Semantics

• Cellular Robotics…

Blunt Worries

• LCS seems internally disorganized, why should AI merge?

• AI Lab is about the right size, why merge?

• The “LCS” & “AI Lab” brands are great, why kill these?

“Deep Structure”
