Name: Mobile Robots #10 - Humanoids Are Here
Start: 2025-12-03T18:00:00+01:00

Location: Zollhof - Tech Incubator

So you’ve heard of humanoids, and of autonomous driving - why not just combine the two?
This time, we’ll focus fully on humanoid robots - and we do have some gems in store. This session is packed with innovation, deep-dive tech insights, and a rare hands-on opportunity!

### 🎯 **What's On The Menu?**

### 1️⃣ **pib.rocks Version 4 - New Design & pib Learns New Stuff!**

**Speaker**: Jürgen Baier - [pib.rocks](https://pib.rocks)

**Topic**: The next evolution of the open-source humanoid robot project!

The team behind pib.rocks is joining us to provide a quick but insightful update on their latest creation: version 4 of their open source humanoid pib!
The whole project is growing rapidly and has attracted tons of media and political attention over the last two years, as many of you might have seen. This lightning talk will cover the significant improvements and architectural changes, including the sleek new physical design and the exciting new capabilities they’ve unlocked.
There’re some great advancements on the software and human-robot-interaction side as well - which opens up even more opportunities for you to go and contribute to the project, or build your own robot.

### 2️⃣ **From G1 Robot to Autonomous Go-Kart Driver**

**Speaker**: Daniel Klingmann, Christoph Bergemann - TNG Consulting

**Topic**: Building real-world applications with Unitree’s G1 - teaching it to drive a GoCart!

Humanoids driving go-karts at 30 km/h - what could possibly go wrong? This talk explains what we did, what worked and what failed when we taught a robot to be a tour guide while driving a go-kart.

Have a look at the result here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJzsH2celG0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJzsH2celG0)

Team will bring their robot and the GoCart (yes) along so we can test it - that alone would be awesome enough, but that’s not all.

They’ll also give a talk about the project and provide us with an in-depth session on the engineering and software side. So if you ever wanted to know what Unitree’s SDK can do, here you go. We’ll get into:

* The entire development process, from concept to execution.
* A close look at the robot's SDK and its capabilities, showing you exactly how they leveraged it.
* The challenges faced and solutions implemented to achieve mobile control.
