🚨 Please note! 🚨

As we currently have two robotics meetups in Nuremberg, this is a cross-post from another group. So to join this event, please sign up our other meetup.com group or LinkedIn (you can in fact do both, helps us get more visibility):

It's time for our next meetup, and we have yet another set of awesome speakers - this time, we'll learn about battle-robots ⚔️, and inverse kinematics 🦾🦿

We'll once again be hosted by our friends from [isento](https://isento.de/) (see event details for the exact location if you're new).

**1️⃣ Topic #1 - Hebocon - Low-Tech Battle Bots**

[David Koenig](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazen-m-552845ba/) and [Tim Buchner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-buchner-5a67b377/) will introduce us to one of their favorite pastimes: organizing Hebocon workshops and battles!

If you’ve seen *BattleBots* or *Robot Wars*, you’ll recognize the concept—except these robots are hilariously low-tech. Built from recycled materials and everyday items, these quirky creations embrace imperfection and creativity.

Originating in Japan, Hebocon has become a global phenomenon. David and his team have been showcasing it at maker festivals and trade shows, helping participants build their own bots—no technical expertise required.
Get ready for a lighthearted, creative, and fun-filled session!

(Pro tip: check out some Hebocon videos online to see what it’s all about.)

**2️⃣ Topic #2 - Inverse Kinematics: Mastering Robotics Motion**

[Mazen Mohsen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazen-m-552845ba/) \- the Chief Robotics Scientist behind the *[pib.rocks](https://pib.rocks)* project, will dive deep into the fascinating world of *inverse kinematics*.

He’ll share how his team has harnessed this mathematical technique to optimize the movement and positioning of the pib’s robotic arms, making them more efficient than ever.

Expect a session packed with code, calculations, and advanced robotics concepts—perfect for anyone who loves geeking out over the good stuff! 🤖

**⏱️ Agenda:**
18:00 Doors open
18:30 Hebocon
19:30 Tech Deep-Dive: Inverse Kinematics
20:30 Pizza and Drinks

**💡 Bring Your Ideas And Questions**: Got a project or concept you're passionate about? We'd love to see it! Consider this an open invitation to share your work with like-minded enthusiasts.

**😊 Have a good time:** There'll be plenty of time to connect with others in the group!
