About Us

AiRoL is made up of an academic team from the faculties of Science and Engineering, University of Lagos (UNILAG). The team is passionate about the future of robotics, artificial intelligence and how they can be used to enhance the socio-economic development of Nigeria. The team is young and aspires to expand and grow into what will strengthen our communities, nation, and the world at large

Our Past Achievements

The Lab started in 2018 in a small office in the department of computer sciences. We started with about five students and a lecturer. We later expanded into 10 students and a few more lecturers that same year. The Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ogundipe graciously gave us a workspace at the central research lab building (CRL) UNILAG. The following were achieved in 2018.

  • International Competition (29th June – 5th July 2018) - Ethiopia - 4th place
  • Robotics Workshop (20th October 2018) - UNILAG
  • Robotics Exhibition, Nigeria Summit Abuja (May 2018 and November 2018) - Eko Hotel Lagos and Canada
  • UNILAG Robotics Competitions (12th December 2018)
  • UNILAG CSR on empowering the grassroots (October 2018 - December 2018)
