2013-2014: Hong Kong Innovation in Technology Foundation (ITF) grant for “Software Enabling
Toy Robots to Learn, Communicate, Emotionally Bond and Display Individual Personalities”, a
collaborative grant between Hong Kong Polytechnic University and my companies Novamente
LLC and Practical Visionaries Limited, alongside other firms such as Hanson Robotics, funding 6
programmers to work on the OpenCog AI system with an orientation toward robotics and other
embodied systems. Prof. Gino Yu was PI of the grant, I was lead corporate sponsor and very
hands-on in helping direct the R&D. |
