This infoclip shows how universities, research centers, private companies and tech entrepreneurs experiment on AI and robotics to develop and produce technological solutions in key sectors, such as health, security, entertainment, mobility, and education. The infoclip was filmed at the AI Experience Centre of the VUB - Vrije Universiteit Brussel and at FARI, a Brussels-based institute whose mission is to study, develop, and foster the adoption and governance of AI, Data and Robotics technologies in an inclusive, ethical and sustainable way. Both the AI Experience Centre and FARI ar co-funded by the European Union.

Infoclip: Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

<p>External view of the  AI Experience Centre and the Flanders Make AugmentX research lab of the VUB - Vrije Universiteit Brussel. (1 shot)</p>

At the AI Experience Centre, a researcher interacts with a robot (1 shot)

Internal view of the laboratory, where students are working on their research. The VUB researchers are leveraging AI to shed new light on old problems. Applications can include pathology identification, prosthetic and exoskeleton control strategies. In other projects carried out by the VUB laboratory, researchers teach robots new tasks through simple dialogue. (5 shots)

Through AI, a researcher is teaching a robot to perform movements. This research has been applied to the security sector (2 shots)

Through AI, a researcher is teaching a robot to recognise different objects and colors and to perform tasks. (8 shots)

Through AI, a researcher is teaching a robotic chair to safely and autonomously move in a given space. (5 shots)

Through AI, a researcher is teaching a robot to make a coffee, by integrating speech recognition. (3 shots)

A researcher plays a videogame combining virtual reality and the use of AI. (5 shots)

Through AI, a researcher is developing a model to provide hand surgeons with better training for their crucial work. (5 shots)

Through AI, a researcher is testing a model that can be used by orthopedic doctors, physiotherapists and in sport medicine. (6 shots)

External view of FARI, a Brussels-based institute whose mission is to study, develop, and foster the adoption and governance of AI, Data and Robotics technologies in an inclusive, ethical and sustainable way. The FARI community consists in 300 researchers both from VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and ULB (Universit&eacute; libre de Bruxelles), and in close collaboration with our various partners. FARI is co-funded by the European Union. (1 shot)

At the FARI Institute, researchers work on various experiments combining robotics and AI. These prototypes can be used in various sectors such as energy grids, security, and education. (5 shots)

<p>A FARI researcher shows an immersive and interactive virtual environment that helps policymakers and urban planners visualize and simulate real-world experiences, with the support of AI. (5 shots)</p>

The footage shows how a cutting-edge prosthesis is improving users' ability to walk. This technology was developed by Axiles Bionics, a Belgian spin-off from Brubotics (VUB-Vrije Universiteit Brussel) co-funded by the European Union, specialised in robotics, artificial intelligence and human biomechanics.
