Robotics and AI in Africa

AI can have a very positive impact on developing countries. To see why and understand how, take a look at the following.

AI in Europe

A collection of links that map Europe's strategy for research, development, and innovation in human-centric, sustainable, secure, inclusive, and trustworthy AI

Cognitive Robotics

Teaching

Support material for some of the courses on my main website.

Research

The CINDY Cognitive Architecture (legacy project)

Links
