A European Project on AI-based Robotics

IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering, pp. 1–7

Abstract

We introduce the project Artificial Intelligence based Robotics (AiRobo), a partnership of universities from France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, and Romania. AiRobo’s aim is to significantly raise the level of competence and skills of academic staff in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) based robotics, thereby also increasing the attractivity and reputation of the related departments at the partner universities. We further address the European priority in national contexts regarding inclusion in higher education, covering social inclusion and outreach to people with less opportunities, e.g. people with disabilities or with migrant background. The project partners will collaboratively write a comprehensive book on AI-based robotics, provide tools and video tutorials to support the construction and analysis of robotic systems, develop robotic applications in various fields of high interest to the industry, implement trainings for academic staff of the partners, organize an international summer school and an international conference, and disseminate the project results through various channels.The outcomes of the project will include the training of 25 academic staff from partner universities in teaching AI-based robotic courses, a comprehensive set of teaching materials including the above-mentioned book, 7 robotic applications in different fields, tools and video tutorials, as well as scientific publications.
