Knowledge Engineering and Robotics Lab

Knowledge Engineering and Robotics is headed by Dr. Rina Zviel-Girshin.​ Her special approach is the organic paradigm. The Knowledge Engineering and Robotics Lab provides the infrastructure for a multidisciplinary group of researchers and many students interested in specializing in the area of robotics. This lab is first of its kind in Israel (LAB NEWS)

The Organic Knowledge (OK) approach to robotics sees robot as different from other computerized systems in the robot being smarter, more involved, and more human-like. The OKbot has human expertise, sensors, actuators, more interactive with environment and especially with humans, and mechanisms for proactive learning and evolving

Additional areas of the research are: 

  • STEM education 
  • Educational  Software
  • Robotics Education
  • Smart systems
  • Crowdsourcing and Collective Intelligence
  • Programming languages and E​nvironments.
