MassRobotics

Minds in Motion filled MIT’s Samberg Conference Center on November 7th.

Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO, opened the event and shared AMD’s approach to physical AI.

AMD provided three hands-on workshops where participants built and deployed a Vision-Language-Action pipeline using ROS 2 and multimodal models to control a robot arm. The AMD University team also ran a live demo.

Thanks to the AMD team for bringing the hardware, the curriculum and their engineers to Cambridge, and to John Werner, Imagination in Action, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), and Massachusetts AI Coalition for co-hosting the summit with us as part of The Engine Tough Tech Week.

Thank you to our sponsor @intel, and all who joined our MassRobotics x Intel - Building Physical AI at the Edge Lunch and Learn.

This was a valuable opportunity for the MassRobotics community to connect directly with the Intel Devs team. Intel Engineers shared practical guidance on how robotics teams can use intel edge AI technologies, developer tools, and software resources to help build, optimize, and scale physical AI Systems.
