​Join us at Humanoid for an evening of deep dives into the engineering, AI and research powering the next generation of humanoid robots!

​What's on the agenda?

​Two technical talks, an exclusive office tour and networking with the Humanoid team

​Talk 1 — Confirmed. KinetIQ Ascend: Toward 100% Reliable Manipulation and Superhuman Speed
Boris Yangel. Head of AI at Humanoid

​Imitation learning on top of VLA models is currently the go-to tool for training capable locomanipulation policies. However this technology on its own is fundamentally unable to achieve superhuman manipulation speed and 99.99% execution reliability required for industrial deployments. This level of proficiency can only be achieved with repeated deliberate practice. In this talk, I would present KinetIQ Ascend, Humanoid's approach to achiving industrial reliability and continuous post-deployment learning via reinforcement learning on real hardware.

​Talk 2 — Coming soon
Cody Griffin. Sr. Director of Software Engineering

​The second talk will explore how AI is transforming the entire robotics lifecycle — from using AI agents to write code, investigate problems and run simulations, to onboarding robots through conversational workflows and enabling them to reason, improvise and adapt when things don't go as planned.

​Talk title and full description coming soon!

​The evening will also include an exclusive tour of Humanoid's office, followed by a networking session — a chance to meet the team, connect with fellow engineers and AI enthusiasts, and exchange ideas.
