Las Vegas Robotics Meetup

## Las Vegas Robotics Meetup - Calling All Robo-Enthusiasts!

Looking forward to the next (May 30, Thurs) meetup! (Our crowd-sourced video of the last meetup is here https://vimeo.com/940929470 ... thanks to everyone who contributed video clips)

Continuing our tour of the world of robotics, we are going to discuss outrageous robots made for fairs and festivals and how it is easier than ever to build epic showcase robots. It will be an interesting discussion, whether you're a garage tinkerer, a professional in the field, or someone who dreams of the future of automation, we're excited to invite you to the Las Vegas Robotics Meetup!

This unique gathering is designed for anyone with a passion for robotics - from hobbyists and students to industry professionals. It's an exceptional opportunity to:

• Connect with fellow robotics enthusiasts in the Las Vegas area.
• Share your projects, ideas, and innovations with a community that appreciates them.
• Learn from leading experts through engaging talks, discussions, and live demonstrations.
• Explore the latest advancements and trends in robotics technology.
• Join a vibrant community dedicated to shaping the future of robotics.

Pololu, our host, manufactures electronic modules, for robots and motion control, and mechanical components.
Ocado (Formerly Haddington Dynamics) makes robot arms that are a fraction of the cost of other industrial robots, making automation accessible in a whole new frontier of applications.

Whether you're building your first bot or are a seasoned expert in AI and robotics, there's something for everyone. This meetup isn't just about what you can learn, but what we can achieve together as a community. So, mark your calendars and be part of this exciting journey into the future of robotics.
