The Key Laboratory of Machine Perception and Intelligence, affiliated with Peking University, is a multidisciplinary research institution that brings together the strengths of intelligent science and technology, computer science, psychology, and cognitive science. The laboratory aims to achieve highly intelligent machine perception and intelligent systems, closely aligning with the requirements of national economic and social development. It conducts fundamental and applied research in machine perception, intelligent information processing, and cognitive science.

The laboratory's main research directions include perception mechanisms, perceptual computing, machine learning, intelligent media technology, and intelligent interaction technology. The research focuses on exploring human perception mechanisms and the relationship between perception and intelligence. It also investigates methods for machine perception and intelligence and develops advanced human-computer interaction technologies. The ultimate goal is to build intelligent systems that contribute to national development and improve people's lives.
