La Loterie Romande soutient CollabCloud
A portrait of CollabCloud published by the Loterie Romande, whose grant bought the platform's first computing hardware and an assistive robot (in French).
The Loterie Romande published this portrait of CollabCloud among the projects it supports, under Formation et recherche. The piece presents the platform as a way to connect researchers, companies and the public around artificial intelligence that is useful and inclusive, and the four domains the Idiap Research Institute works in: human–AI collaboration, sustainable societies, AI for the life sciences, and access to AI.
I speak in the accompanying video about what the platform is for — the shared computing resources research of this kind needs, and the applications it carries, from predictive medical diagnosis to assistive robotics. The Loterie Romande’s support paid for CollabCloud’s first hardware: state-of-the-art computing equipment and a Swiss-built assistance robot.
