Iran Sets Up Machine-Making Industry Universities in 3 Big Cities
“After continuous efforts, three comprehensive and applied scientific universities of the private sector were chosen to increase the skills of human resources, and they were fully informed on how the industry and the university work in the field of machine-building,” said Mohammad Mehdi Hadavi.
He added that three universities in the cities of Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan are ready to provide services related to the specialized training of manpower in the field of machine-building.
In relevant remarks in February, an official said that Iran ranked 7th in the world in training skilled manpower in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), an official said.
“Based on a report by an international organization, which has not yet been officially released, Iran ranks 7th in the world regarding training the skilled manpower in the field of artificial intelligence,” Head of Iran National Innovation Fund Mohammad Sadeq Khayyatian said.
“I believe that we have a high capacity in the fields of health and medicine,” he added.
A report by Iran’s Research Institute of Information and Communication Technology said that the country has set its sights on becoming an AI leader, vying a leadership in the market by 2032.
The report added that Iran will be placed among the top 10 countries in AI in 10 years.
Nature Index ranks Iran as 13th in the world for AI in terms of research publications from 2015-2019. Iran is listed higher than Brazil, the Netherlands and Russia.
Meanwhile, the SCImago Journal Rank, which also measures scientific journals, ranks Iran as 15th in the world for AI-related publications, behind Brazil and ahead of Russia and Turkey.
The University of Tehran, with the financial support of the R&D Society of Iranian Industries and Mines, began working on humanoid robots in the mid-2000s.
The Sorena I robot was able to speak according to a predefined text and had remote control and predefined path tracking abilities.
