Mobile Robots #09 - Logistics & Rescue Drones

+++ Here's a safe-the-date for our next robotics meetup - we'll add some more details about the speakers and topics shortly +++

Get ready for our most cutting-edge meetup yet, where we're diving deep into the intersection of AI, robotics, and the physical world!

### 🎯 What's On The Menu?

### 1️⃣ Physical AI: The Next Frontier in Robotics

Speaker: Christopher Schütte
Product Portfolio Manager at Siemens | Driving Innovation in Advanced Automation & Robotics

[Details coming soon!]

### 2️⃣ CloudTrack: Scalable UAV Tracking with Cloud Semantics

Speaker: Yannik Blei
PhD Candidate & AI/Robotics Researcher, Technical University Nürnberg (UTN)

Get ready for some mind-blowing research that could literally save lives! Our UTN researcher will present their groundbreaking paper on CloudTrack - a game-changing approach to semantically conditioned open vocabulary object tracking designed specifically for search and rescue UAV operations.

This is research-to-industry knowledge transfer at its finest - here's what makes this approach special: imagine describing a missing person with just words - "person in red jacket" - and having a drone autonomously track them from aerial footage. No specialized training, no complex setup, just pure AI-powered semantic understanding!
