The UNESCO-ICHEI Higher Education Digitalisation Pioneer Case Award application highlights the transformative DeepClaw project led by Assistant Professor Chaoyang Song at the Southern University of Science and Technology. This innovative initiative addresses the critical need for accessible robotics education in developing countries like China. It underlines the crucial role of digital learning in bridging the gap by providing inclusive, cost-effective, and globally collaborative education opportunities. The project's objectives include developing a low-cost, portable system that combines tactile sensing and machine learning with soft robotics, aiming to democratize robotics education and foster innovation.
