Robots are evolving from programmed ROS applications to embodied AI (LLMs running on physical robotics hardware) solving missions.  New robotics AI tools are evolving such as VLMs (Vision Language Models also called multimodal LLMs), VLAs (Vision Language Action models), and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Robots now stream sensors like RealSense depth cameras into these AI tools allowing the AI to figure out on its own how to move its wheels or legs to achieve a goal such as following a person.  During this session, we will build an embodied AI experience together live on stage!
