Project KurI: Reverse Engineering a Robot from the Trash

Join us for a fascinating hands-on presentation with Michael Yannuzzi as he walks through the reverse engineering of a robot that was rescued from being discarded. This talk will cover the step-by-step process of disassembly, component identification, and system analysis, followed by how its hardware and software are being adapted for a completely new purpose.

Attendees will not only gain practical insight into reverse engineering techniques, but also discover how outdated or unwanted technology can be repurposed into something innovative and functional. The robot itself will be present during the event, offering a close-up look at its ongoing transformation.

Whether you’re new to tech or an industry professional, this session is designed for all skill levels and is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired.
