Our Monthly Meetup @ CSULB!

Please join us this Saturday February 14th at 10:00am for our next *in person* Meetup!


Plug 1331 Palo Verde Ave, Long Beach, CA into your GPS and google will take you right to the front door.  :-)


Here's what's on the agenda...


9:30 am: The Doors open. Stop by early and say hi! Or log in early to make sure your mic works. We'll be here.

9:45 am: Business meeting & Elections!


10:00 am:​ 
Teaching Alfie New Tricks with GR00T N1.6 Part 2:  Let's Grab that Can!
A finetuned model that looks great in evaluation is one thing — getting it to actually work on a physical robot is another. This talk continues our journey with NVIDIA's GR00T foundation model and our humanoid robot Alfie, from hardware constraints and finetuning to the debugging and troubleshooting that turned promising results into real-world motion. (Alan)

11:00 am:​ Tune in for our Can-Do Challenge!
This is it!  We have multiple participants, all gunning for 1st place and glory in our first contest of the year!  
Who will emerge victorious?  Cans, ankles, chair legs, all are up for grabs this weekend at the RSSC!
Ok!  Let's Goooooooo!

12:00 pm: 30 minute grab-n-go Lunch Break

12:30 pm: Announcements / Show-n-Tell / Open Session. It's a great opportunity to ask questions and get advice. Our members will bring in their projects and share what we've been up to. Are you working on something? Bring it in!

Hi all,
It was a great Can-Do contest on Saturday with many participants.  Since I was focused on the contest, I neglected to take "contest" photos for the magazine article that I will submit this week.  Please send me some clear robot contest photos, and I will have the editor choose a few.
Thanks
Bob Huss
