Workshop - Building Programmable Physical AI Systems

​Build. Program. Run.

​Think of the next generation of programmable LEGOs - where the building blocks are written in code.

​In this hands-on workshop, participants will build programmable physical AI systems using Reachy Mini Lite - an open-source, developer-focused robot by Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face.

​In partnership with:
Relativity Collective, Hugging Face, NVIDIA, Pollen Robotics, Seeed Studio, Silicon Highway, OxTechWeek, EnSpire Oxford

​Concept

• ​Reachy Mini Lite = the physical base unit
  An educational desktop companion robot designed for real-time movement, speech, and interaction.

• ​Code = programmable LEGO blocks
  Using the Python SDK, participants can modify robot behaviour directly from their laptops. Integrated with Hugging Face's AI ecosystem, providing instant access to > 1.7 million AI models and 400'000 datasets.

​Like LEGOs - but assembled in software, executed in the real world.

​Organised by:
Relativity Collective (Cohort 0)
Elliot Queisser de Stockalper, Simon Tautz
