This lecture shows what the first 50 years of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence research and development in Macedonia has produced, and how they affect the world. Achievements in those areas are listed chronologically, ranking them from pioneering to ordinary. Examples of pioneering achievements that are covered are: introduction of transfer learning in neural networks (1976), solving the reinforcement learning with delayed rewards (1981), control of robots using speech commands (1986), control of robots using brain potentials (1988), and EEG emulation of control circuits for brain-computer interface (2006), among others.
