EPFL AI Team

💻 A couple of words for this semester's exciting BARK project! This semester in BARK, we are working to build an open source four legged robot. Following this project will form a new team in order to design our own robot dog starting next semester, to serve as a platform for various AI models. This project involves two principal roles: ⚡electronics engineers who are in charge of circuits manufacture and implementation. 🏗️ structural engineers who are in charge of the mechanical parts. And of course a couple of photos from the project so far:

What an incredible week it's been! 🎉 🕖 November 22 marked the opening of the newly established EPFL AI Center—a groundbreaking hub for collaboration and innovation in the field of artificial intelligence in the heart of EPFL. 🕚 November 23 brought us the unforgettable EPFL AI Day!
