The Governor of Gunma Prefecture, Yamamoto Ichita, along with a business delegation and representatives from the city of Takasaki, recently visited the Antal Bejczy Centre for Intelligent Robotics at Obuda University. The visit was organized by EIT Health and aimed to learn about international best practices.
Governor Yamamoto enthusiastically shared his impressions on his blog:
“Obuda University’s Robotics Center is at the forefront of robotics research, both in Hungary and internationally. It is involved in numerous European research projects and international scientific partnerships, standing out as a member of EIT. Their work in artificial intelligence and automation technologies is particularly commendable. During our visit, the researchers presented five distinct projects, among which the agricultural AI applications seemed especially promising for implementation in Gunma Prefecture. The dynamic presence of young researchers was truly inspiring, especially since this energy is unfortunately a ‘scarce resource’ at Japanese universities.”
Prof. Dr. Péter Galambos commented on the visit:
“The delegation was looking for international best practices that they could apply at home. We welcomed a highly engaged and active team who gained insights into the research conducted at the Antal Bejczy Centre for Intelligent Robotics, the startup ideas stemming from it, and the business model of Initium Ltd.”
The delegation was introduced to Obuda University’s research and innovation initiatives by Prof. Dr. Péter Galambos, Vice-Rector for Innovation, and Prof. Dr. Tamás Haidegger, CEO of Initium Ltd.
