🤖 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**
***

* 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.

No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.
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

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
