To this end, the RECLAIM consortium organised an open training workshop last month on trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Circular Economy. The objective behind the workshop was to present the latest developments in AI, Robotics, and socially sensitive gaming, and how these can support circular economy and Trustworthy AI. The training program invited specialists in
The RECLAIM Project recently concluded its second General Assembly hosted by consortium partner KU Leuven at their Department of Mechanical Engineering campus in the heritage city of Leuven, Belgium.
RECLAIM is a portable material recovery facility packed in a box but we are actually thinking outside of it! The last 18 months have been an intense test-bed of expending energy on experimentation and implementation of our solution at RECLAIM project. While we made good use of robotics, grippers, advanced imaging and artificial intelligence to
