• Networking, food, drinks, and lightning talks

Workshop Agenda
This hands-on session uses DROID, a real-world robotics dataset loaded into FiftyOne as a native multimodal MCAP recording, and YOLO11n, fine-tuned live during the session.

7:00–8:15 PM

• Welcome + framing: from raw robot logs to a trained detector
• Explore a real DROID robotics recording in FiftyOne's native multimodal MCAP viewer: camera, proprioception, and language on one synced timeline, no ROS install required
• Curate: extract and browse frames from the recording, filter and deduplicate
• Compute embeddings on the curated frames; explore via similarity search and embeddings visualization (via Nebius Serverless AI Jobs)

8:15–9:00 PM

• Auto-label: open-vocabulary detection to generate bounding boxes for the robot gripper and target objects
• Train: fine-tune a YOLO11n detector on the auto-labeled frames (via Nebius Serverless AI Jobs)
• Evaluate results and close the loop: view predictions back on the original MCAP timeline

9:00–9:30 PM

• What else Nebius offers: Token Factory walkthrough — chat/vision models, fine-tuning, credits

9:30–10:00 PM
Open Q&A, hands-on help, and networking
