Humanoid AI Meetup

Humanoid's engineering team opens its Triton Square office for an evening of two technical talks on the AI behind its humanoid robots, a tour of the office and networking. Boris Yangel, Head of AI at Humanoid, presents KinetIQ Ascend: how the company pushes manipulation policies to industrial reliability and superhuman speed with reinforcement learning on real hardware, beyond imitation learning on VLA models. Cody Griffin, Senior Director of Software Engineering, follows on AI across the robotics lifecycle, from agents that write code and run simulations to onboarding robots through conversational workflows. His title is still to be confirmed. Free, but registration is approval-based. 17:00 to 21:00. Why go: you get Humanoid's head of AI on real-hardware RL, in the building where the robots are made, plus the team to talk to afterwards. Best for robotics, ML and controls engineers, and investors tracking embodied AI.
