Mila Robotics Lab Opening Party

​On Monday, September 14, before All In AI, we're opening the doors to Mila's new robotics lab. It's a mixer, not a conference: meet the researchers, students, and companies building physical AI across the city, meet the robots themselves, and talk about where the ecosystem goes next. The lab exists to bridge Mila's AI community with the physical world — shared hardware, shared data, shared momentum — and this is the first time we get everyone in one room to start that conversation. If you work in AI and have been curious about what it takes to put a model on a robot, if you run a robotics company looking for compute or collaborators, or if you simply want to see what the next generation of robots can do, come by. Light drinks, live hardware, and a lot of good people — just show up.
