Wed, Nov 6th: “AI Robotics” 5:30 PM, CU Boulder

The Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group (RMAIIG) will host an in-person meeting on Wed, Nov 6th, at 5:30 PM MDT in Boulder on “AI Robotics.” ***Note new location for this meeting only!***

**We are proud to welcome Silicon Valley Bank as the Platinum Sponsor of this event! SVB is the financial partner of the innovation economy. Providing flexible scaling solutions from seed to IPO we are here to help founders and companies grow. www.svb.com**

The future of robotics is here, powered by AI. From humanoid robots to agile robotic dogs, AI-driven robotics is transforming industries and redefining what machines can do. Join us for an exciting exploration of cutting-edge robotics platforms, including the Ameca Desktop robot and Boston Dynamics' Spot. We'll dive into the possibilities, challenges, and real-world applications of these technologies, discussing where AI and robotics are headed next. What breakthroughs lie ahead? What ethical and practical considerations do we need to address?

We will start with a 1-hour Demo Fair called "Pizza and Robots" at 5:30 PM, where a variety of different AI Robot projects, platforms and experiments will be shown, before the actual meeting starts at 6:30 PM. Meet directly with researchers, scientists, technicians and entrepreneurs to learn about the latest AI Robotics tech!

Demos include: Ryan Siebert, CEO Eldest AI Labs Presenting “LunaCelsus” - Medical Diagnostic & Physician AI Agent with Gamified User Interface, Making Healthcare Affordable & Accessible https://eldest.ai/demo

Naomi Hart is a technology researcher and thought leader at Engineered Arts, the world's leading humanoid robotics company. She will be speaking on, “Crafting Android Personas: Driving Real-World Solutions through Character Development”

With an interdisciplinary background in computer science and language theory, Naomi's work focuses on the far-reaching implications of artificial intelligence on society, particularly in the realm of embodied AI and its applications in education, elder care, and the arts. Her research centers on leveraging cutting-edge multi-modal AI models in novel multi-agent architectures to create adaptive personas for Engineered Arts' androids, enabling them to serve people in dynamic, real-world settings.

Naomi is joined by Ameca, the world's most advanced human-like android, appearing in her desktop form for this event.

Next, we will learn from CU researchers working on an AI-enabled version of Boston Dynamics' Spot platform.

Finally, we will hear from Adam Wilson, a business leader and roboticist at Boulder-based Hackerbot Industries, who will present, "Transforming AI Concepts into Reality with the Coming Wave of Home Robotics."

In this session, Adam will explore how individual builders can
seamlessly integrate AI into real-world applications, enabling robots
to perform tasks autonomously and efficiently.

Hackerbot is a versatile home robot development kit for users of all skill levels, offering AI-powered customization. It features advanced room mapping, autonomous navigation with sensors, and self-charging for extended operation. Inspired by robot vacuum technology, Hackerbot combines mechanical precision with robust software, making it ideal for developing robotics skills and experimenting with AI applications.
