The RoboAI Academy and the AI Academy are RoboAI's incubators of excellence, where students can learn, innovate and experiment with new ideas in a hands-on way through enterprise projects. With STEM activities RoboAI brings together operators to develop the technical knowledge of children and young people, and to increase their interest in applying to the technology sector.<\/p>\n<p>Satakunta University of Applied Sciences and University Consortium of Pori are part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/robocoast.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robocoast EDIH consortium (robocoast.eu). <\/a>The strengths of the Satakunta universities in the consortium are seen as robotics and data analytics expertise and the RoboAI research and development center, whose resources are passed on by the Robocoast EDIH consortium to both Finnish and European industrial companies. The Robocoast EDIH consortium includes 15 Finnish universities and two industrial companies from nine different regions. The Robocoast EDIH consortium is coordinated by Prizztech Oy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.samk.fi\/en\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"    rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet to know SAMK \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XgbED48uuMQ\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"    rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVisit the RoboAI laboratory!  \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/kuva1_LI.jpg\" alt=\"Kuvassa RoboAI-laboratorio.\" height=\"533\" width=\"787\" title=\"Kuva1 LI\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 787px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 787\/533;\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tRead more\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/en\/research-and-development\/\"  target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/etusivulle-1-landscape-b408d5af82e8eb1d3e840b8d56912e1f-.jpg\" alt=\"The male subject is wearing a mocap suit with a mobile phone holder on his head and a human figure in the same pose on the wall behind him.\" height=\"1480\" width=\"2000\" title=\"RoboAI Tutkimus Ja Tuotekehityskeskus\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/1480;\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/en\/research-and-development\/\" target=\"_self\">Research and development<\/a><\/h3>\t\n\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/en\/research-and-development\/services\/\"  target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/roborfid-1-landscape-2256f7141516b1e6200b976b005050c5-.png\" alt=\"Two people are sitting with their backs to the picture, a computer in front of them and a man standing in the background.\" height=\"1000\" width=\"1500\" title=\"Roborfid\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/1000;\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/en\/research-and-development\/services\/\" target=\"_self\">Services<\/a><\/h3>\t\n\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/en\/roboai-team\/\"  target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/Tiimi-1-landscape-c309e209efc723242a12944190587836-.jpg\" alt=\"A group photo of the RoboAI team in the lab.\" height=\"910\" width=\"1300\" title=\"Tiimi\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1300\/910;\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboai.fi\/en\/roboai-team\/\" target=\"_self\">RoboAI Team<\/a><\/h3>\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RoboAI Research Center is located at the Pori campus of Satakunta University of Applied Sciences.
