The Annual R&D Program · Cohort 1 Starts January 2027
Learn by Building the Physical AI Reasoning Stack
One Year, 100 Participants, 12 Squads, 12 Real Work Packages on DataPX 2.0 for Terminals, Ports, Maritime and Logistics. Every Package Passes Independent Gates Before It Is Accepted.
January to May
Level 1, Accelerated
20 Weeks of Gated Modules. Gate G1 Selects 60 Participants for the Squads.
June to October
Level 2 and Three R&D Sprints
Physics-Based Modules Alongside Three Six-Week Sprints, with Technical Reviews Every Sprint.
November to December
Validation and Demo Day
Final Reviews, Acceptance into DataPX 2.0 and Demo Day in Tampere.
Technical Acceptance
AI-Priori
Code Review, Evaluation Results and Security at Every Sprint; Final Acceptance and Certificates.
Platform Validation · Planned
Nokia
Integration Testing on the Mxie Edge Platform for Edge, Context and World-Model Packages.
Academic Validation · Planned
Tampere University
Research Method, Reproducibility and Ethics Review of Every Package.
Every Package Reports Three Industry 5.0 Measures: a Human-Centric, a Sustainability and a Resilience Outcome. Squads Work on Synthetic Terminal Data, Never Customer Data.

Questions
How Much Time Does It Take?
Plan for 8 to 10 Hours a Week. Level 1 Runs 31 Weeks Self-Paced, or 20 Weeks in the Accelerated Annual Cohort.
What Do I Need to Start?
Comfort with Basic Programming and an Interest in Industrial Systems. Module 1 Brings Your Python Up to the Level the Rest of the Program Needs.
How Are Labs Graded?
Against a Five-Part Rubric Covering Completeness, Technical Depth, Evidence, Reproducibility and Reflection, with Written Feedback. Certificates Also Need a Human Review by AI-Priori.
Can Employers Check My Certificate?
Yes. Every Certificate Has an ID on the AI-Priori Academy Public Register.
Do I Work with Customer Data?
No. Labs Use Public Industrial Datasets, and R&D Squads Use Synthetic Terminal Data. Nothing Touches Machine Controls.
Start with Modules 0 to 2, Free for 14 Days.
