An intelligent machine needs three things: a brain, senses, and hands.

We gave AI a brain. We taught it to see. Now we're giving it hands.

Models can propose a thousand hypotheses, but breakthroughs come from testing them.

Today we're launching @primordiant : general-purpose robot scientists that run experiments at scale.

AI mastered bits. Now it's time for ATOMS.

While studying at Ashesi, Benedict Quartey ’18 worked with Dr. Ayorkor Korsah to develop RollE, an affordable, modular autonomous vehicle that allowed students and researchers to experiment with self-driving technology without expensive equipment. The project introduced him to research and helped set him on a path toward doctoral studies.

His work later expanded to speech technology for Ghanaian languages, including research resources that developers could use to build applications in Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi, Fante, and Ga.

Today, Quartey’s doctoral research at Brown University explores how robots can combine learned skills to carry out unfamiliar tasks. He has also co-founded Primordiant, a company developing robots that can observe, propose explanations, and run experiments.

Since building RollE at Ashesi, Quartey has continued to explore how technology can help people investigate problems and test ideas in new ways.
