3rd Pittsburgh Hardware Meetup | The Spooky Future of off-road Ground Mobility
🎃 Get ready for a frighteningly cool evening of off-road vehicles that go bump in the night! Hardware Meetup does it big in Pittsburgh, again.
We're gathering at XFactory in SPM's new shop to celebrate all things FUTURISTIC in the world of ground mobility.
Our ghoolish speakers will not disappoint
Jonathan Powers of SPM is hosting, and there will be treats (hopefully more treats than tricks). Whether it's electric UTVs, or self driven off-road recon vehicles, come see what they're building to transform how we move across dirt, gravel, and everything in between.
Evan Su will show how CognaSIM is making it easy for engineers to understand their product performance. Using natural language instructions, see how AI is revolutionizing engineering simulation to make it efficient and accessible for all engineers.
Mel Pirchesky of Eagle Ventures has helped entrepreneurs in the Western PA region raise over $100 million of equity. Mel will teach the rare skill of elevator pitching to help entrepreneurs achieve funding.
Expect demos, technical deep-dives, and plenty of shop talk about motors, sensors, and the gnarly challenges of teaching machines to navigate the great outdoors. Costumes optional but there will be a costume competition - winner takes all. $10 to enter the competition⚡🤖
