🤖 Robots Everywhere - The Rise of Embodied AI
Foundation models are leaving the cloud — and entering the physical world.
Robotics is quietly becoming the next global ecosystem.
Open-source foundation models. End-to-end learning. Industrial-grade reliability.
And radically new ways of building robotic bodies.
This meetup is special because we’re not just talking theory.
We’re bringing together speakers from:
• **Hugging Face** — powering one of the world’s leading open AI ecosystems, now expanding into open-source robotics
• **mimic robotics** — building scalable, real-world robotic manipulation systems for industrial deployment
• **Allonic** — reinventing how robotic bodies are manufactured through its 3D Tissue Braiding technology, recently raised €6M in pre-seed funding — the largest hardware pre-seed round in Hungary to date
This event is powered by **ShareTech Foundation** — a non-profit initiative building bridges between frontier technology, industry, and the European tech ecosystem.
This event venue is provided by **Tulip Interfaces** a manufacturing app platform empowering frontline teams with digital tools and real-time data.
***
** Date & Time:** March 5. 2026, 17:30
** Location:** Tulip Interfaces Office - Budapest, Köztelek u. 6, 1092
***
** The Talks**
***
**Dana Aubakirova**
ML Research Engineer — Hugging Face
**Open-Source Robotics: Bringing Foundation Models to Real Robots**
From Vision–Language–Action models to real robotic deployment.
Dana will walk us through:
* How foundation models are reshaping robotics
* Multimodal pretraining and scaling trends
* SmolVLA and the LeRobot open-source ecosystem
* Community-driven robot data collection
* What still blocks large-scale embodied AI
If you care about open-source AI moving into the physical world — this one’s for you.
***
**Benedek Forrai**
Co-Founder & Lead Roboticist — mimic robotics
**Systems as Moat — Bringing Reliability into End-to-End Learning**
End-to-end learning is exciting.
Industrial reliability is harder.
Benedek shares:
* VLA → VAM evolution
* Scaling pretraining without massive robot datasets
* Architectural bottlenecks in current pipelines
* Why system design becomes the true competitive moat
This is where research meets customer-grade deployment.
***
**Benedek Tasi**
Founder & CEO — Allonic
**Complexity in Robotic Bodies — And Making Them Simple Enough for Mass Production**
As robot intelligence scales, hardware complexity explodes.
Allonic introduces **3D Tissue Braiding** — a radically new way of “growing” robotic bodies in a single integrated process.
We’ll explore:
* Bio-inspired robotic connective structures
* Reducing hundreds of parts into unified builds
* Manufacturing scalability for the next robotics wave
This is how you build robots that can actually scale.
***
** Agenda**
17:30 — Arrival & welcome
18:00 — Talks
20:00 — Community networking
21:00 — Wrap-up
** Why You Should Come**
Because robotics is no longer sci-fi.
It’s becoming infrastructure.
And the next big shift in AI will be embodied.
Join us if you’re into:
* AI & foundation models
* Robotics & manipulation
* Industrial systems
* Hardware innovation
* Or just want to see where this is all heading
As always: high-signal talks, real practitioners, strong community.
See you there.
*ShareTech.Foundation is building Europe’s next-generation tech communities — from AI and robotics to hardware prototyping and cross-border collaboration.*

Session #23 - What is the meaning of life?
From the earliest moments of human reflection, people have asked a question as simple as it is profound: **Why are we here?**
"*The unexamined life is not worth living,*"
Socrates
The search for the meaning of life is not merely an abstract puzzle; it is woven into our choices, our values, and the way we understand happiness, suffering, and purpose. In ancient Athens, Socrates suggested that a meaningful life begins with examination, placing self-knowledge at the center of human existence.
For Socrates, meaning was not something handed to us but something discovered **through dialogue, questioning, and moral awareness**. Aristotle later offered a different but complementary vision.
He proposed that the purpose of human life is eudaimonia, often translated as **flourishing**. According to Aristotle, meaning is found not in fleeting pleasure but in living virtuously, developing our capacities, and contributing to the life of the community. A meaningful life, in his view, is one lived in accordance with reason, balance, and excellence of character.
Modern philosophy introduced a more unsettling perspective. Jean-Paul Sartre argued that human beings are “condemned to be free.” There is no predetermined purpose, no universal script that defines our existence. Instead, meaning emerges from **our choices**. We create who we are through action, and with that freedom comes responsibility. Meaning, then, is not discovered but constructed.
Simone de Beauvoir extended this existential insight by emphasizing that meaning is not created in isolation. Human freedom exists in relation to others. To live meaningfully is to recognize both one’s own freedom and the freedom of others, and to engage in projects that affirm shared humanity. For de Beauvoir, meaning involves responsibility, connection, and the ethical use of freedom in a world that offers no fixed answers.
Across these perspectives, a fascinating tension emerges. *Is meaning something we discover, cultivate, or create?*
Is it rooted in virtue, happiness, responsibility, relationships, or purpose?
Perhaps the enduring power of this question lies precisely in the fact that no single answer has ever satisfied everyone. Today, the question remains open, inviting each generation to respond in its own way. Philosophy offers frameworks, science offers explanations, culture offers narratives—but ultimately the question turns toward each of us personally.
So as we begin this seminar, we return to the question that has echoed across centuries of thought and experience: **What is the meaning of life to you?**
**BIO**: Georgiana Turculet is a multidisciplinary philosopher and two-time Marie Curie fellow. She holds a PhD from Central European University and has held academic positions at several European institutions, including the Department of Philosophy at Pompeu Fabra University and the Department of Philosophy at University of Copenhagen

About the show:
Ever laugh at a joke that’s a bit wrong but oh-so-right? That’s this show in a nutshell.
Radu started comedy in Romania, earning the title of the "comedians' comedian." After moving to London, he became a finalist in the English Comedian of the Year and has been crafting his darkly funny, sugar-coated cynicism ever since. Think venomous wit with a glittery twist.
He’s appeared on BBC, Channel 4, and Comedy Central, and opened for comedy heavyweights like Louie CK and Jim Gaffigan.
What they’re saying:
"Intelligently subversive" – The Scotsman
"Still making me giggle" – Three Weeks
"The audience loved it and I think you will too" – CounterCultureUK
"Simultaneously sweet and dark" – Chortle
Don’t miss it – you’ll laugh when you know you shouldn’t!

**A Few Notes:**
✅ This is an **in-person event**
✅ **RSVP does not guarantee a seat** – A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event.
**TALK ABSTRACT:**
AI is all the hype these days; however, despite (or maybe because of) the excitement around it, a high percentage of AI projects fail. Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints.
In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.
