AI Education Platform – Advanced Learning and Integrated Control for AI-Incorporated LEGO Robots

Recent advances in sensing, edge-computing devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep learning (DL) models for computer vision and speech tasks, together have led to exponentially increasing AI applications in military, civilian and education scenarios. It is widely agreed that AI will be the driving force of the next industrial revolution. Therefore, there is an enormous motivation to integrate AI education into our education system, especially for K-12 education. Together with the industrial partner Cortic, based on Coritc’s current AI education platform, by addressing a few key challenges (e.g., limited training samples, limited computational power at edge devices, improved integrated control and management for LEGO robots), we plan to improve the AI education platform based on AI Incorporated LEGO Robots. The developed algorithms will be integrated into the partner’s products, thereby significantly enhancing their competitiveness in the market, and contributing more to Canadian job market.
