Hello, fellow AI Roboticists, and welcome to the bi-weekly Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Robotics and IoT meetup! The purpose of this meetup is to have fun and share excitement while exploring news, theory, and methodologies of AI/ML and actually applying much of what we learn to ongoing robotics projects.

Ohhh, this is going to be a fun one. In the spirit of the New Year of needing new, fresh inspiration to energize and propel us on our journeys forward, we'll review what exciting new developments are being announced at CES 2017 in the areas of AI, ML, robotics, and IoT. So come prepared to sit back, relax, and be amazed!
