Seminar "A View on some AI Methods and Applications" @ TUC | July 2-4, 2025

Prof. Nikolaos Bourbakis of Purdue University, USA, also a TUC Honorary Professor, is visiting the Technical University of Crete (TUC), from June 30 to July 4, 2025, within the framework of the Erasmus+ Program, International Mobility, KA 171, CALL 2022 and the Inter-Institutional Agreement signed between the Technical University of Crete and Purdue University. As part of his visit, Prof. Bourbakis gladly offers an Open Seminar on Artificial Intelligence (AI). All members of the TUC community are welcome to attend! Snacks and refreshments will be provided to all attendees during the breaks!

A View on some AI Methods and Applications
July 2-4, 2025 | 14:00-17:00
"Thelma Mavridou" Amphitheater @ TUC Campus

Professor Nikolaos Bourbakis
Biological & AI Foundation, OH, USA
Purdue University, IN, USA

Description

In the last three decades the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has triggered the interest of the research community to focus and develop methods and applications on several important areas. In addition, the advances on the Robotics field have significantly impacted the Academic and Industrial evolution. Thus, the synergy among AI methods and Advanced Robotics will benefit the humanity in many different ways, if it will be appropriately used.

In this series of talks, the speaker will present and briefly analyze methodologies and their applications for:

  • Objects and Actions Recognition
  • Technical Documents Deep Understanding
  • Planning and Navigation of Autonomous Robots
  • Robot-Assistants for People with Special Needs
  • Health Monitoring and Prognosis Devices
  • Brain Analysis

For students, a certificate of attendance will be given at the end of this series.
