The centre's mission is to create, develop and commercialise innovative IT products. Information technology encompasses all forms of technology used to create and manipulate information in its various forms. The centre’s primary goal is to provide a stimulating environment for the development of these different forms of technology in New Zealand under strong leadership.

Centre for Artificial Intelligence

The Centre for Robotics and Vision (CeRV) addresses academic activities in the fields of image and video technology, and in robotics and automation, especially with respect to integrated activities of those disciplines. It contributes to related theoretical fundamentals at an internationally competitive level of quality, as well as to applications within New Zealand, and it is also open to national and international contacts and collaborations.

The Centre for Sensor Network and Smart Environment (SeNSe) was formed in late 2006 as a research incubator in the field of intelligent sensor networks. The key objectives were to fulfil the need for research and innovation in this important field based on strong electronic and computer engineering disciplines which have the ability to interact with other disciplines, and also to meet the industry need for interaction and consultation.

The Centre for Social Data Analytics is located in AUT's School of Social Sciences and Public Policy. The centre applies strong data science to linked data, undertaking research that tells us new things about the human experience. These valuable insights can measure the impact of social interventions, identify the need for new policy and predict the likely outcomes for individuals and groups in society.
