Vision and Robotics
Hosted by Boston Imaging and Vision (BIV)
Details
Robots have made amazing advances other the last few years, and vision has played a big part of it. We have three amazing companies: Boston Dynamics has brought us Big Dog and the Atlas Robot, Vecna has started pushing robots into health care, and Neurala is building a deep-learning engine for robots. It should be an exciting night.

Location/Parking: the Microsoft NERD center is a short walk from the Kendall Sq. T stop, located adjacent to the Charles River. There's usually street-parking to be found on side streets (such as Ames St.). There's also a garage in the NERD center, $10 flat fee after 4pm. Just remember to bring your ID to get into the NERD center.
