We're in San Francisco for three weeks, and Monday the 17th belongs to the research community.
This is a casual evening at our showroom. Our arms will be running all night, our engineers will be on the floor, and you're welcome to take the controls yourself. Teleoperate a WidowX arm through Glide and get a feel for what data collection actually looks like when the hardware isn't fighting you.
Enjoy a room full of researchers, robots, and drinks. Come for twenty minutes or stay the whole three hours.
What you can do:
Teleoperate our arms hands-on via Glide
See Rivet, the WidowX family, and the Workbench setup running live
Talk directly to the engineers who build and support the hardware
Meet other people working on manipulation, imitation learning, and physical AI in the Bay
Get entered to win a Meta Quest
Win a Meta Quest: Check in at the door and you're entered in our residency sweepstakes. We're giving away a Meta Quest headset to one attendee, the same class of hardware a lot of teams use for VR teleoperation and data collection. One entry per person. No purchase necessary. Must be 18 or older, and present a valid photo ID to enter. Full rules at the door.
Who this is for: Faculty and PIs, grad students and postdocs, lab managers, research engineers, and university robotics clubs. If you work on robot learning, or want to, you're in the right room.
Details: Monday, August 17 · 6:00–9:00 PM
