Talks:
1. Envisioning Learnable Robots: The Future of AI-Enabled Robotics Systems:
The recent surge in generative AI has sparked immense interest in creating a 'LLMs moment' for robotics, aiming for a true generalist robot. We will explore such trend and potential of robot learning in future robotics systems.

1. Imitation and Reinforcement Learning based robotics system
2. Scaling up data and models
3. Sim-to-real and real-world learning
4. The future prospects and challenges in robot learning
5. Integration of ROS-based systems

Speaker: You Liang Tan, Research Engineer from RAIL @ Berkeley AI Research

2. Experiencing RMF in VR with Gazebo:
Simulations play a pivotal role in robotics, enabling efficient testing within a controlled and immersive environment. By leveraging the capabilities within Gazebo, we can enhance simulation realism through the development of a multiview rendering plugin. This experiment involves crafting a setup that enables us to navigate and explore simulated worlds from the perspective of a mobile robot.

Speaker: Xiyu Oh, Software Engineer, Intrinsic.
