AI-MAS Village was set up in the EC hall of the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, University Politehnica of Bucharest.

The village was organized on two floors and was divided into: Village Center and Inhabitants. It was set so that people could walk around and interact with the developers. The Village Center was populated by several intelligent applications from the IT Industry while the Inhabitants amazed the visitors with autonomous robots and innovative research projects from the academic field. By the end of the event, about 400 “tourists” had visited the village.
