Great. Will definitely keep in touch. Are there any particular resources you would like to see in the lab ?

fantastic fantabulous
if only we have a government that thinks
if only we have leaders that can think beyond tomorrow
if only we are not blacks
if and if
if ....
if... the tragedy of the ruled
if ... the tragedy of being African.
our interest is our destiny.

This is no time to start waiting for government to do stuff for us.....Platforms like this is what we need to get this kinda stuff done for ourselves.
We also need to work on AI in the field of security as it seems our government have been unable to tackle the security issues we have in the country

You think any Nigerian would wanna voluntarily carry the weight of this country's bleeped up security on their shoulders? I've lost count on the number of Nigerian online shopping, Universities and ISP's database I've looted just for fun not profit due to their crappy security, I would mail them about security bugs, but they wouldn't reply or fix it!

Besides, only a couple of Nigerians, can "work on AI in the field of security" so many are just using ML/AI as a buzz word and they can't either even understand it, or can't explain it easily/properly (meaning, in fact, they don't really understand it well )

Stumbled here because of been interested....what about those of us that don’t have any knowledge.


I am still looking for where i can learn programming,including web development
I am in Ibadan. Please any idea will be of help. Thanks

Some people are currently learning programming in small groups. There are also a number of people learning via online tutorials.

What the robotics and ai centre will be doing is intensive training in the theory and practicals of robotics and control. In addition, the courses will proceed to the use of artificial intelligence to enhance robotics systems.

If this is what you are interested in, then I will urge you to watch out for launching in October this year. I will keep this thread updated.

lol..well, i meant personal security not national security since it seems the Government are less concerned about our individual security , using AI n our homes and immediate commuinties can serve as our own little contribution.

Can it be so cheap and affordable and you just wanna make something for this elites who keep eloping and embezzling peoples funds ....We need stuffs that will focus for the of the masses

Op plz can dz AI help drive massive sales 2 my digital products?

I am not sure really, however the use of data science and analytics has helped Google and Facebook drive their marketing, which you can now take advantage of. You can also learn to collect data from your existing customers in order to determine what drives patronage, and then build on it.

But for me, being a EEEngineer, I apply AI to Robotics.

Creating Animation In Crazytalk Animator
Learn how to create your cartoon movies in 2D animation

What you'll learn
• Create basic amazing animation using bitmap images (sprites)
• Construct and animate simple cutout characters
• Use skeleton to construct and animate complex characters
Requirements
• You will need CrazyTalk Animator software

This course is created for people who would like to learn how to use CrazyTalk Animator in a short time. It equally fits for those who just starting to learn computer animation, as well as for established artists who would like to master cutout technique with free software.
The course will guide you from the very basics of application interface to the techniques of creating character animation and some advanced features. The sample files are also included, so you will be able to work alongside with instructor during the course
Note: This course is not for you if you would like to learn the technique of frame-by-frame (traditional) animation.
Who this course is for:
• Artists who would like to learn how to turn their ideas to stories
• School teachers who would like to adopt CrazyTalk Animator software in the education process
• Anyone who would like to learn animation

No animation knowledge required. Rapidly create, rig and animate unique characters for design projects
Call/whatsapp: 07038404841,
kdcreativity@gmail.com

Just wondering if you could also create character and object animations with either Maya or Mecanim?

I can see the power flowing . Fantastic idea sir.
I am interested in this I am a researcher in the field of AI coming up with a research paper soon. I have a little bit of experience with robotics I did love to be part of this.
Pls can I get your number or you could msg on 09096460769
Regards

Alright!
So you typed "We need stuffs that will focus for the of the masses"
What do you have in mind?

Good evening house, i am expecting more update from Cacawa2 about the launching of the place. I actually want to come and learn.

please call me, I have conceived another idea

Is there a whatsapp group for this community?

it has been suggested, but it’s not something I’ll want to bother anyone with. I’ll personally quote everyone in August when I land.

I'm really happy about this thread. Its like a dream come true for me. I have been on a lookout for a group of technologist/ programmers of which we could provide solutions to problems making use of AI, Robotics and tech in general.
@Cacawa i'm impressed with your work. Would love to be part of this likewise. I'm still a novice in AI but I guess with this platform launching soon I would be able to up my game. Thanks.

Please do fill us in when you are ready to launch.

Questions..
1) will prior knowledge of programming be needed to learn or attend the hub??
2) I am a graduate of mechanical engineering from uniben, with little or no knowledge abt programming.. The only programming stuff I know is how to use a CNC machine for production. Am really interested in robotics and was planning to go for a programming course in NIIT until I stumbled on these..so which will be best for me?? Going to NIIT first or coming to your hub directly

Wow. Great thread.

o m g

For someone like you with a mech eng background you are a veritable asset. To think that you have prior knowledge about the CNC makes you even more valuable because that's what we will be using - 3D printer, CNC Machine etc for fabrication...and I won't be surprised if you have to lead the way.

Programming is easy. As long as you have a great tutor, you would learn it in no time. The courses at NIIT I'm sure sound great...I'm just not sure what people think about the delivery.

At this centre we will surely not just sit down in front of a projector reading, chatting and laughing, we will have classes and workshop sessions.

Someone asked me "at the end of the training, what would we be able to do"

And I said:

"I'm not coming to set up a centre that will train you so you can go get a job. No. The centre is to make you self employed. So at the end of it, trainees can regroup, having learned how to developing ideas, how to build parts, what the standards are, how to programme a machine, and how to infuse artificial intelligence into it, trainees would be able to start a production/support service line"

And what's more? The hub will be able to provide the shared facilities for the various spin-off groups so that you won't need to buy big machines just yet.

Let's not let the cat out of the bag yet. More details will be out in August
