What we’re about
Web-site: https://ai-ml-robots.github.io
Discussions: https://tinyurl.com/ai-ml-robots-discussions
We are a group of people from around Melbourne who are interested in learning about and combining A.I / Machine Learning with robots or autonomous vehicles.
We meet to build ... so please always bring your laptop (which is a robot without wheels or legs) !
This group comes from diverse backgrounds representing interests in engineering, programming, computer vision, A.I, machine learning and robotics. However, a key aim is to help newcomers of all ages get into these emerging technologies and just have some fun.
In 2024, the focus has shifted to using Machine Learning with (optional) robots. To provide a place for those who want to move beyond "listening to meetup presentations" ... to roll-up your sleeves, start coding and build ML systems that interact with the physical world.
Prior to 2024, one of our activities was building 1/16 scale self-driving cars that are capable of racing autonomously around a track. This was inspired by DIYRoboCars and aiming for competitive track days, like this ! Depending upon interest / demand ... we may run more of these workshops and track days in the future.

Pre-meeting catch-up: 6:00 pm at Fonda Mexican restaurant, 248 Swan Street, Richmond (our table will have orange traffic cones) ... great opportunity for casual discussion and especially for newcomers to get acquainted with the groupActivity: Using Google Colab (newcomer friendly) and Aiko Services, we will build a project ... where the details will be provided / updated a couple of weeks prior to the meet-up date. The aim is to provide a productive and valuable experience for both newcomers and experienced attendees
Agenda: 7:00 pm sharp at 415 Church Street, Richmond
- 7:00 pm ML software "guided" build session using Google Colab
- 9:30 pm Projects show and tell: ad-hoc for anyone to contribute
- 9:45 pm Tidy up room
- 10:00 pm Hard stop !Please bring a laptop, as these are hands-on build sessions.
Just think of a laptop as a robot without wheels or legs !
If you are a newcomer to Machine Learning or robotics, you are still very welcome.
