🏎️ in the fast lane: Team Kinetiz, a joint team comprising , UAE technology company K2 and autonomous systems specialist Alp Autonomy, has taken the chequered flag 🌍🏆 at the world’s first multi-car autonomous race in Europe, held at Italy’s Imola Circuit.

Starting fourth on the grid, the Singapore-UAE team raced to victory, finishing ahead of a formidable field of competitors including TUM, PoliMOVE, Constructor and UNIMORE.

The race, which was part of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League’s first international event and first multi-car competition outside Abu Dhabi, saw five fully autonomous race cars go head-to-head at the Formula 1 circuit.

And the biggest twist? There was no one behind the wheel. 🏎️🤖 Software developed by each team controlled the cars, making split-second decisions on when to accelerate, brake and steer while responding to other cars on the track at high speed.

NTU Vice President (Innovation and Entrepreneurship) Prof Louis Phee said: “This win is a testament to NTU’s standing as one of the world’s leading universities in artificial intelligence research, and to our ability to translate that research into technology that can perform under demanding real-world conditions.”

Congrats to the team! 🙌

🤖 How can robots learn to navigate and interact with the world around them?

A new wearable system developed by spin-off Ropedia could help provide the answer.

HOMIE Gen 2 captures real-world human experiences through 360° vision, spatial audio, movement, interactions and environmental data. These first-person experiences are then transformed into structured, training-ready data that can help robots and Physical AI systems better understand how humans perceive and interact with the physical world.

The technology builds on research from NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science led by Assoc Prof Liu Ziwei. Supported by NTU’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship initiative and NTUitive, Ropedia recently raised US$22 million, bringing its total funding to US$30 million as it works to advance the development of robots that can learn from real-world human experiences. 🚀

🇸🇬 Singapore set to host IOAI 2027: and AISingapore will jointly host the 2027 International Olympiad in AI (IOAI) from 4 to 10 July 2027, bringing together young talent from around the world.

🎉To mark Singapore’s selection as the host country and celebrate Team Singapore’s performance at this year’s Olympiad in Astana, Kazakhstan, NTU held a commendation event today for the participating students and their trainers.

The eight students who participated this year hailed from Eunoia Junior College, Hwa Chong Institution, NUS High School of Mathematics & Science, Raffles Institution and Victoria Junior College. They brought home 7 medals in total: 🥇1 Gold, 🥈3 Silver and 🥉3 Bronze.

Their achievement follows months of training with faculty from College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), where they honed their skills across machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing and multimodal processing.

Prof Luke Ong, NTU Vice President (AI & Digital Economy) and Dean of CCDS, said the IOAI cements Singapore’s position firmly on the global map for AI: “Singapore will have the privilege of hosting IOAI 2027, jointly organised by NTU and AI Singapore. It will take a whole-village approach: government agencies, schools, educators, universities, industry partners, families and the wider AI community coming together to welcome the world."

"We look forward to our IOAI alumni giving back – not only by sharing their experiences, but also by supporting the technical work behind IOAI 2027. Their involvement will help us build a stronger community for those who will follow,” he added.

See you at IOAI 2027!

🧠 Decoding the brain: Nanyang Assistant Professor Aditya Nair has received two prestigious international honours for his interdisciplinary research into how the brain processes emotions.

He has been named a 2026 Asian Young Scientist Fellow, which recognises promising early-career scientists across Asia, and is also among MIT Technology Review’s 2026 Innovators Under 35, which celebrates young innovators making an impact through .

Working at the intersection of , and , his research seeks to uncover how the brain generates and sustains emotional states as well as identify the objective neural signals of emotion that could transform the way we understand and treat .

“We are trying to look at the brain through a very different lens, applying principles from physics and AI to understand how emotions emerge from the brain. To have that work recognised by the global scientific community tells me we’re on the right path to pursue ideas that can potentially reshape how we think about mental health. It’s motivation not just for me, but for my entire team, that our work has the promise to truly make a difference,” says Asst Prof Nair.

Congratulations!

💡Re-engineering treatment at the microscale: scientists have developed microscopic peptide droplets 💧 that could offer a potentially cheaper approach to treating .

The microdroplets can deliver large amounts of gene-silencing molecules directly into cancer and immune cells, reducing the growth of hard-to-treat colorectal by about 67% in mice.

Published in the journal Biomaterials, the unique approach disrupts the production of two proteins that cancer cells exploit to evade attacks by the immune system. By reducing the amount of these proteins, the treatment minimises their interaction and prevents the resulting signals from telling immune cells to hold back their attack.

❤️Learning to better serve the community: More than 2,500 students are putting their learning into practice this month as they begin their first service-learning projects under the inaugural Care, Serve, Learn programme. 🤝

Since August, the pioneer cohort has been building a foundation in community service and social work. Today, they took part in NTU’s first Skills2Serve session, a new learning platform that connects students with leaders and experts to gain skills relevant to their chosen areas of .

The day-long programme equipped students with practical skills, real-world perspectives and a deeper understanding of the communities they will serve. They explored topics ranging from 💰 financial literacy and 🧑‍💻 technology to 🩺 healthcare, 🔬 STEM, 📋 project management and 🚀 career exploration, learning from the experts.

Next, they will put that learning into action. Working alongside community partners, students will serve across four community pillars: children, youth, seniors and persons with disabilities, applying their skills to address real societal needs.

Can help us build safer, greener cities? Eight PhD scholars are advancing research in this complex frontier, where AI meets engineering, human behaviour and the environment – backed by a partner who came to see the work firsthand.

A €2 million (S$2.9 million) gift from Nemetschek Innovation Foundation – its first university partnership in Singapore – is funding these scholarships under the Safe AI in the Built Environment Research Programme at 's Digital Trust Centre. The scholars are exploring how agentic AI can help make construction safer, buildings more low-carbon, and cities cooler in the face of the urban heat island effect.

This week, the Foundation's leadership spent a full day at the NTU campus, meeting the scholars, discussing the programme's progress and future opportunities, and touring the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Innovation Lab, where they got an up-close look at innovative demonstrators.

The partnership is also opening new doors for research and talent exchange between Germany, Singapore and the region.

🧬🪲 Dropping big clues on Singapore’s 🔍💩: could hold the key to uncovering the animals living in our .

researchers found that the 🧬 preserved in dung beetles’ guts can reveal the mammals, birds and other vertebrates whose waste they have fed on. Studying more than 540 beetles from Singapore’s Central Catchment Nature Reserve, the team detected DNA from 18 vertebrate species, including the elusive sambar deer, Sunda pangolin and Sunda slow loris.

Beyond identifying species, these DNA clues could help scientists understand how dung beetles and vertebrates interact, providing insights into the health and resilience of tropical forest .

Next, the team is exploring a less invasive approach by swabbing the beetles for traces of wildlife DNA before releasing them back into the forest. 🌳🪲
