What we’re about
We are a group VERY excited by the potential of AI/ML, particularly as it applies to robotics and IoT. If you share this excitement, join us on an amazing journey every Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (and usually extending to 3 or 4 pm as time flies when you're having fun), as we explore and learn the theories, methodologies, and frameworks of AI/ML, investigate the social impacts of such a disruptive technology, while also applying the technology to ongoing robotics and IoT projects in association with our sister meetup, Houston Robotics Club. Hey!... can't beat that! The synergy between the two groups is amazing!
We also highly recommend that you join the Houston Machine Learning meetup which meets once or twice per month at 2:00 pm on Saturdays at the Engineering Building 2-Cullen College of Engineering on the University of Houston campus.
Among other topics, our AI/ML for Robotics and IoT group will discuss the robotic and IoT application of the topics discussed in the most recent Houston Machine Learning meetups. It will be a great way to reinforce and see practical application of what you learn there.
Sooooo, CONGRATULATIONS! You are living in VERY exciting times. You are now witnessing the rise and convergence of technologies that will each transform the world just as completely and intensely as did the Internet. AR/VR/MR, genetic/bio engineering, IoT, materials sciences, nanotechnology, photorealistic gaming/simulation, quantum computing, robotics (including automation and self-driving cars)... the list goes on and on... are all advancing at breakneck speed. And while their impacts may not yet be clearly apparent, rest assured they will each impact the world to a degree on par with that of the Internet.
Included in that list of world-changing technologies, of course, is artificial intelligence (AI) and its machine learning (ML) component. AI/ML will impact all aspects of our lives by improving the speed, quality, and cost of available goods and services, accelerating scientific discovery and technological advance, improving healthcare, and, via self-driving vehicles, reduce accidents while improving travel opportunities for those in some way driving-impaired. These are just a few examples of how AI/ML will impact our lives.
Please, come join us as we have fun learning about and participating in the progression of the exciting world of artificial intelligence and machine learning for robotics and IoT!

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- ROS2 - LinoRobot2 + Zenoh DDSLink visible for attendees
Come and join us in our weekly demo & discussion about ROS 2 Jazzy and Nav2. We look at code and have some Nav2 demos on Real bots or in Gazebo Harmonic.
We are also monitoring the convergence between GenAI & Robotics ...
Our discussion around LinoRobot2 and it's upgrade to ROS2 Jazzy and Gazebo Harmonic has concluded. Check out this branch on Linorobot GitHub. LinoRobot2 Harmonic
We are moving towards a new challenge: The Integration of the Zenoh protocol with ROS2 Jazzy and Linorobot2.
ROS2 DDS RMW_Zenoh is now available as a debian package install for Jazzy. Zenoh Pico is the other half of Zenoh ecosystem spanning the MCU and SBC all the way to the Cloud.
We will evaluate the possibility of upgrading Linorobot2 solution with drop-in DDS Fast-RTPS replacement with RMW_Zenoh as well as the more challenging swap of Linorobot Micro-ROS Agent based xr with Agentless RMW_Zenoth_Pico
If you have demos on ROS2 and Robotic GenAI, Don't hesitate to come by & join us
Check out our new public repo and don't hesitate in jumping in and contribute your C++ Python ROS contributions.
