Tell the Robot What You Want — Sandhya Subramani, AWS Aug 29, 2026 · 17:23 This demonstration shows how an agentic layer, built on AWS's open-source strands framework, allows a rover to perform complex tasks in natural language without explicit training. Seattle DGX Spark Hackathon Winners Spotlight Sep 11, 2026 · 40:58 Discover how local AI is transforming critical fields. NVIDIA winners showcased Kerberos, a shared spatial-awareness system for SAR, and VELA, a voice-first, consent-controlled healthcare action system, both running locally on the GB10. From VLM/VLA's to Embodied Agents — Armen Aghajanyan, Perceptron AI Sep 23, 2026 · 20:42 Perceptron introduces Embodied Foundation Models, unifying perception, reasoning, and control. By using data sparse Mixture of Experts, they solve context bloat and achieve a new scaling law: 10x video pretraining substitutes for 10x less teleop data.

Building real-time vision & edge navigation with Gemini Live Oct 28, 2026 · 2:03 Meet Sprout, a semi-autonomous plant robot built on a TurtleBot 4 base. It uses Gemini Flash for vision and Gemini Live for voice, demonstrating real-time edge navigation and AI-powered care. Introducing Genie 4 Oct 27, 2026 · 47:26 Genie 4 is a major world model leap, introducing photorealism, audio modality, and Gemini integration. It enables real-time, interactive simulations for robotics, film pre-vis, and education. Stanford EE292R AI and Data for Science | Autumn 2026 | From World Models to World Agents Oct 22, 2026 · 54:31 World models are defined as real-time, action-conditioned, causal video generators. They represent a shift from traditional simulators to data-driven generative approaches, using diffusion models to create photorealistic video conditioned on text, context, and actions.
