LEARNING ROBOTS
Learning Robots’ mission is to demonstrate to all audiences how artificial intelligence and neural networks work: from initiation to manipulation, from elementary school to vocational training and high school programming.
Being inspired by neuroscience, artificial intelligence can also teach us a lot about our own learnings. Through the solutions offered by Learning Robots, the younger generation will become positive and engaged players in the AI revolution.
