The Hong Kong Innovation in Technology Fund (ITF) has funded a two year project, 2013-2014, aimed at usingOpenCog AGI technology to control Hanson Robokind humanoid robots. The funding is via an industry-university-government collaboration scheme, in which the ITF contributes 90% of the funds, Novamente LLC contributes 10%, and Hanson Robokind contributes two Robokind humanoid robots. The Principal Investigator of the grant is Dr. Gino Yu, at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This represents an exciting opportunity to move cognitive robotics and AGI research forward!
