Bots, Bevs & Devs

​Join us for another great evening of networking, short talks and robotics and AI demos at Circuit Launch in Oakland.

You can sign up here (Eventbrite) for a short talk, and/or a demo or hiring table with social media shout out. Just want to attend and enjoy? RSVP here (Luma).

​Big thanks to our venue hosts at Circuit Launch:

​Special Guest Speakers from VUB in Belgium:

• ​Constantin Scholz, Coera

• ​Robotics is advancing faster than the safety systems meant to support it, creating a gap that only a new approach can close. coera provides the missing safety intelligence layer that allows any robot to perceive, interpret, and respond appropriately to real-world conditions. Retrofittable, embeddable, controller agnostic, and powered by multi-modal sensing with deterministic guardrails, coera enables true human-robot coexistence without cages, constraints, or compromise.

• ​Pablo Lopez Garcia, Ailos Robotics

• ​AILOS is a Belgian company developing high-performance gearboxes for human centered robotics. Our technology enables lightweight, backdrivable joints that make robots more productive, agile, and safe.

• ​Bram Vanderboght, Sustainable Robotics

• ​Sustainable robotics at the Brubotics research institute turns deep‑tech into impact by moving core robotic technologies as self‑healing materials, energy efficient actuation and 3D touch sensors from lab research to certified products—extending lifetimes, reducing waste, improving human work through spin‑offs and industrial collaborations.

​And thanks to our table and talk sponsors:

• ​Matt Brown, CEO Thoughtforge

• ​“The Next Control Layer: Autonomy for the Messy, Variable, Real World”
  Most robots are trained once and deployed hoping the world holds still; this talk is about what changes when the world is allowed to move and the robot learns to move with it.

• ​Prachi Sethi, Developer Relations @ Open Mind

• ​"What If Robots Could Make Their Own Decisions?"
  Let’s talk about modular, hardware-agnostic software for robots—OM1 brings cognition to machines, with the ability to scale all the way to full autonomy.

• ​Dominic Lee, Founder of GyroPalm

• ​What if you could train robots, control computers, and monitor environments with a flick of your wrist? Learn how these gesture-controlled AMRs were designed and brought into real-world environments using ROS2, and what it actually takes to move from prototype to deployment.

• ​Harmonic Drive

• ​Harmonic Drive LLC engineers and manufactures precision servo actuators, gearheads, and zero backlash gear component sets for robots of all types. www.harmonicdrive.net

• ​Kai Mai, Petoi

• ​www.petoi.com. Petoi develops open source lifelike bionic robot pets for adults and kids, with applications in robotics, STEM, coding, AI education, and human companionship.
