AMD and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), with the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) have announced the official opening of the NTU-AMD Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DS&AI) Lab. With a dedicated goal of nurturing the next generation of globally-competitive tech leaders and innovators, AMD and NTU's synergised efforts will augment local DS&AI education, equipping students with the tech tools and skills needed to inspire a better future. In line with Singapore's efforts to build a thriving AI ecosystem, the NTU-AMD DS&AI Lab will combine AMD's leading-edge deep-learning technology and NTU's global strengths in machine learning, AI and data science, enabling local DS&AI talent to pioneer the development of impactful AI solutions in key sectors. This initiative also aims to support the AI Singapore programme and the nation's transition to Industry 4.0

This experiment may look quackers, but it is an important step in teaching engineers of the future to train self-driving vehicles to navigate a town. Experts have created'Duckietown' - a miniature town with complex road junctions that's home to up to 50 taxis'driven' by rubber ducks. The self-driving duck taxis are fitted with cameras that allow them to read road signs and avoiding crashing into obstacles. Experts have created'Duckietown,' - a miniature town with complex road junctions that's home to up to 50 taxis'driven' by rubber ducks (pictured above) Duckietown is the brainchild of computer scientists at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (Csail) where students are taught about autonomous vehicle technologies using 50 duck-mobiles. As part of the class, students had to build a fleet of duckie-adorned robo-taxis that use a single camera to navigate.

As part of the class, students had to build a fleet of duckie-adorned robo-taxis that use a single camera to navigate. Unlike Google's experimental car, for example, the duck-mobiles do not rely on pre-programmed maps to find their way around a network of roads, instead navigating without any clues in real-time.
