Latimer partners with Southern New Hampshire University and Intel to bring AI–powered robotics into curriculum

Latimer AI, an AI platform, has partnered with Intel to bring AI-powered robotics into Southern New Hampshire University’s curriculum. 

Using Intel Core Ultra AI PCs, the collaboration offers students a chance to design and control intelligent robots in hands-on lessons.

“SNHU is exploring integration of the Intel AI PC and the Latimer AI into its robotics curriculum. The Intel AI PC brings its latest NPU processing power, while the Latimer AI provides locally deployable small LLM and cloud LLM to support AI capabilities such as voice/gesture control in mobile robots,” says Professor David Guo, Associate Professor at SNHU. 

“The collaboration signals SNHU’s commitment to future-ready engineering education while supporting Intel and Latimer’s AI platform to partners, customers, and educators.”

The partnership aims to ensure future engineers are fluent in AI, blending practical learning with advanced AI software, hardware and forward thinking education. 

Writing on LinkedIn, Latimer’s Founder and CEO John Passmore said: “Latimer’s AI platform enables robotics projects to be intelligent and adaptive, supporting both local and cloud-based large language models. Students gain access to voice recognition and AI reasoning, helping them develop real-world problem-solving skills.”
