Embodied AI Agent with a real robotic platform

Faire: Rome

Maker: Machine Learning Reply

The talk will focus on a real implementation of Embodied AI agent. We will start with an overview of the Machine Learning models covered within Reply R&D, therefore DinoV2 for Object Detection (https://dinov2.metademolab.com/), PALM (https://palm-e.github.io/ ) as a starting point for VLMs (Visual Language Models) and be able to generalize a large number of tasks that require multimodal input (both with images and text). We will then move on to a focus on a robotic agent such as SPOT by Boston Dynamics, therefore its architecture, the potential of this agent and the sensors present in stock. From here we will have the basis to move on to an implementation of Embodied AI Agents controlled completely with voice in natural language. We will show an orchestrator who, by receiving voice commands in natural language as input, will be able to control a robotic agent such as SPOT by Boston Dynamics and use the Machine Learning models necessary to complete the individual tasks within the episode initiated by the user. We will then show current developments in the way related to the use of Visual Language Models, such as RT-2(https://robotics-transformer2.github.io/) for robotic agents and LINGO-1(https://wayve.ai/ ) for autonomous driving.

ARES

Faire: Rome

Maker: ITIS GALILEO GALILEI DI ROMA

ARES project was born 4 years ago from the idea of 4 students passionate about the aerospace world and dreamers of a human landing on Mars. They asked themselves a question: how will the resources necessary to survive on a desert planet be found? They developed a project to verify the feasibility of a plantation on the red planet, faithfully recreating the Martian biosphere. An electronic brain will manage the sensors and irrigation of each dome. Finally, all the data will be managed within a portal, implementing a procedure in relation to the IoT.

Water Sampling Drone, campionamento delle acque.

Faire: Rome

Maker: IIS Marconi Galletti Einaudi Domodossola

Water Sampling Drone is an automatic surface water sampling system based on the STM32 microcontroller. The improved collection system allows you to manage multiple samplings during a single mission and thanks to a multi-parameter platform (pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Conductivity, solid state detector for muon measurement) data on the quality of the water for each withdrawal point. The collected water is then stored in special test tubes and can be used for subsequent chemical-biological analyzes in the laboratory. The system is equipped with a GPS independent from the drone control one to allow the replicability of the sampling and the georeferencing of the data: the coordinates and the acquired data are memorized on a micro-SD and simultaneously sent via radio to a computer on the ground.
