We introduce the innovative European project AiRobo: Artificial Intelligence based Robotics, a cooperation partnership of five excellent universities from Romania, Greece, Hungary, Germany, and France.

The target groups are: academic staff, researchers, and higher education students of all levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD).

The goal of our ongoing project, running from 2023 to 2026, is to enhance academic staff competences and skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and Formal Verification. Given the growing significance of AI-enhanced robotics in modern society, strengthening education in these domains is vital for the future development of both these technologies and society.

The activities in the project plan include: four trainings for academic staff; the production of a comprehensive teaching material (which consists in a book “Artificial Intelligence based Robotics”; seven AI-based robotic applications in different domains such as academic, agricultural, industrial, medicine, some of them will contribute to the inclusiveness of people with disabilities and migrant background; tools and video tutorials; scientific publications); as well as two international events welcoming participants from around the world (an international summer school for students and an international conference for academics).

The intellectual outputs of the project will be freely available on the project's website, providing academic staff and researchers the opportunity to utilize them for their own educational or research activities.
