Monthly Robotics Meetup @ Frontier Tower — Co-Hosted with Tesla

Join the Bay Area’s builders, researchers, and founders for our Monthly Robotics Meetup at Frontier Tower, co-hosted with Tesla. This is a high-signal evening for anyone working on or curious about robotics, autonomous systems, edge AI, perception, manipulation, ROS/ROS2, mechatronics, and hardware startups. Expect hands-on demos, practical talks, and real connections with people shipping robots in the wild.

## What to Expect

• Lightning Talks (fast, useful, vendor-neutral): Real lessons from the field—architecture decisions, safety, testing, scaling fleets, and production ops.
• Featured Demo (invited robotics company): A live, show-don’t-tell demo of a production robot or subsystem (vision, SLAM, locomotion, grasping, or autonomy stack).
• Community Show-and-Tell: Bring your robot, dev kit, or tool—5 minutes to share and get feedback.
• Networking That Matters: Meet engineers, founders, researchers, investors, and operators who can unblock your next milestone.

## Who Should Come

• Robotics/ML engineers, controls & firmware devs, and DevOps for robots
• Hardware founders and product leaders building autonomous systems
• Researchers and students working on perception, planning, and HRI
• Investors and partners interested in frontier robotics and industrial AI

## Tentative Agenda

• 6:00–6:30 PM – Check-in, snacks, and open networking
• 6:30–7:15 PM – Lightning talks (3–4 x 10 min + Q&A)
• 7:15–7:45 PM – Featured Robotics Demo (live or recorded with deep dive)
• 7:45–8:30 PM – Community show-and-tell + networking

> Have a demo to share? Add a note in your RSVP with a one-liner and basic tech needs (table space, power, safety considerations).

## Location & Access

Frontier Tower – Frontier Makerspace (7th Floor)
Downtown San Francisco, easily accessible by BART/MUNI. Limited street parking; rideshare recommended. The venue has elevator access.

## Good to Know

• Light refreshments provided
• Bring a laptop if you want to pair on code, configs, or logs
• Safety first: if you’re demoing moving hardware, bring your kill switch and follow posted guidelines

## Code of Conduct

We’re a welcoming, collaborative community. Be kind, be constructive, and respect people and equipment. Harassment or unsafe behavior isn’t tolerated.

## RSVP

Space is limited. RSVP to secure your spot—and let us know if you’d like a lightning talk or demo slot.
