Details
We are excited to announce the next in-person event for the NYC Robotics Meetup group, with a focus on software for robotics & automation.
The meetup will feature speakers from Viam & Real-Time Innovations (RTI), & is hosted at the Viam offices in Manhattan. There will be a number of hardware demo's & hands-on experiences!
Special thanks to our event host & sponsor, Viam.
Viam is building a robotics platform that makes it easier to turn great ideas into production-ready robots. Viam works with any hardware & has a modern architecture, easy developer APIs, cloud connectivity & tools, & enterprise-grade security to give even lean teams the power to launch & scale their robotics business.
Viam believes making robotics more accessible will help attract talent & investment to the industry so that more people can start working with robots to build products & services that improve our world. Follow @viamrobotics on all social platforms & sign up to learn more at Viam.com.
Additional thanks to our event supporters Mevo (www.mevo.com), & informal (www.informal.cc), & to YOU for your interest in supporting & growing the robotics community in New York.
Agenda:
6:00-6:30 - Meet & Greet / Networking
6:30-6:35 - Introduction & Welcome
6:35-7:00 - Andy Krassowski, Field Application Engineer, RTI
The RTI mission is to enable a new generation of intelligent distributed systems, boldly seeking to transform entire industries. RTI seeks applications that promote a sustainable, safe, green & healthy planet. RTI Connext is the first intelligent connectivity framework designed to control, monitor, secure & optimize demanding distributed systems.
Andy will show how the RTI Connext software framework works with ROS 2 & makes it possible to design & deploy intelligent real-world systems in demanding environments.
7:05-7:30 - Eliot Horowitz, CEO & Founder, Viam Robotics
Eliot co-founded MongoDB where he wrote the core code base for the pioneering database, & built out the engineering & product teams for 13 years as CTO.
Eliot founded Viam with the belief that it shouldn't be hard to turn a cool idea into a functioning robot; that it should be way easier than it is to launch a robotics startup & get your proof of concept to market; that robotics should be able to easily take advantage of all the benefits of cloud connectivity, just like the rest of the tech ecosystem.
The team at Viam, feel that there should be more investment in the industry, & more builders, creators & problem-solvers turning to robotics to launch products & services that improve our world. Eliot will demo the Viam platform & explain how the platform will help with making robotics easier & more connected.
7:30-7:40 - Closing remarks, Lightning Talks*, community announcements, networking
7:40-8:00 - Hardware Demos
Food & Drinks to be provided.
