The AI & Robotics Challenge is a yearly bachelor student challenge that runs within the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS). 

Artificial Intelligence & Robotics

We all like to see smart systems act in the real world. However, a study programme is necessarily quite theoretical, especially in the first years. Students therefore sometimes indicate that they would like to see AI in practice. If you are a student in the CS or DSAI bachelor programmes at Leiden University, and you recognize the above, then join the Artificial Intelligence & Robotics (AIR) challenge!

• The challenge runs throughout the entire academic year. 

• During the year, you develop AI software to solve a current impactful AI or robotic challenge.

• At the end of the year there is a public event (accessible for all students and teachers) showcasing the results. 

• The challenge varies per year.  

• Participation in the project counts as 2 extra-curricular ECTS (appear on your diploma, but only as extra credits).  Please note this is not an estimate of the work load, which is much higher. You should do the challenge if you like to do this as a hobby.
