Sept 9 - Physical AI Has a Data Problem. It Isn't Collection Workshop
Wed, Sep 9, 2026 · 4:00 PM UTCAustin AI/ML/Data ScienceAustin AI, Machine Learning and Computer Vision Meetup This workshop goes from raw recording to curated corpus. We'll cover what MCAP is and why it's built that way, tour real Physical AI datasets across driving, aquatic, and forest robots, and open an episode with every sensor synced—including channels nothing knows how to decode. **Time, Date and Location** Sep 09, 2026 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PST Online. **[Register for the Zoom!](https://voxel51.com/events/document-visual-ai-workshop-september-9-2026)** Physical AI still relies on familiar computer vision tasks—detection, segmentation, depth, tracking. What's changed is the data unit: no longer a single image and label, but an episode—a dozen sensors ticking on independent clocks for minutes, with no frame boundaries. Most computer vision tooling assumes the old unit and breaks on the new one. That's why Physical AI teams end up with buckets of .mcap files nobody can characterize. Recording is cheap, so logs pile up faster than anyone curates them. Ask what's actually in there—which tasks, which conditions, how many failures and of what kind—and the honest answer is usually a shrug. MCAP has been ROS 2's default log format since Iron, and as of [FiftyOne 1.19](https://docs.voxel51.com/index.html) it opens natively: cameras, LiDAR, GPS, IMU, and logs on one shared timeline, alongside your images and video. We'll tackle quality, the harder half: what smoothness, sensor-health, and outlier metrics actually measure, where each falls short, and how to turn a score into a defensible decision. You'll leave knowing how to load your own recordings, query a whole corpus instead of a single file, and which quality signals to trust for which job.

In this talk, Tin will share perspectives from his work at Porsche AG on applying modern AI methods across the autonomous driving development process, from making sense of large-scale driving data to understanding and evaluating how AI-based systems behave on the road. He'll discuss lessons learned from real-world development, where today's approaches shine, and where hard problems remain for the ADAS and AV community. *About the Speaker* [Tin Stribor Sohn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tin-stribor-sohn/) is a PhD Student at Porsche AG and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in the area of Foundation Models for Scenario Understanding and Decision Making in Autonomous Robotics, Tech Lead at Data Driven Engineering for Autonomous Driving, Prior: Master in CS at University of Tuebingen with focus on Computer Vision and Deep Learning and co-founder of a software company for smart EV charging **Advancing ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Development with Multimodal Data** ADAS and autonomous vehicle systems rely on increasingly complex data from cameras, video, LiDAR, radar, and other sensor streams.

Sept 22 - FiftyOne Agent: Automate Visual AI Workflows with Natural Language
Tue, Sep 22, 2026 · 4:00 PM UTCAustin AI/ML/Data ScienceAustin AI, Machine Learning and Computer Vision Meetup Learn about FiftyOne Agent, an AI assistant built directly into FiftyOne that turns plain-language requests into real dataset operations. **Date, Time and Location** Sep 22, 2026 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Pacific Online. **[Register for the Zoom!](https://voxel51.com/events/meet-the-fiftyone-agent-automate-visual-ai-workflows-with-natural-language-september-22-2026)** Ask it to find and remove duplicate images, run object detection and surface low-confidence predictions, or evaluate a model and summarize where it fails, and the agent handles execution end to end. We will also walk through the newest capabilities shipping with this release, including code generation and plugin generation. You will see how to go from a conversational prompt to a custom dashboard, visualization, or full FiftyOne application, and how to package multi-step workflows as reusable skills the agent can call on demand. Because the agent runs inside FiftyOne's secure guardrails, teams keep full control. Connect your preferred models from over 100 LLM providers, route requests through your own enterprise gateway, and maintain audit logging and user attribution for every action the agent takes.

These principles go beyond statements and actively shape how we design, test, and deploy AI systems in real-world automotive and enterprise settings. In this talk, I will present how these principles inspired our recent research on when reusing LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) is effective. By combining theoretical analysis with synthetic data as a proxy for enterprise scenarios, we uncovered the strengths and limitations of modular AI components under constrained data access. Our findings provide practical guidance on when reused LoRAs could deliver high-quality results. *About the Speaker* [Mei-Yen Chen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mei-yen-chen-22937787) is a Senior Data Scientist at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation GmbH in Germany with 10 years of industry experience in AI and data solutions.

In this talk, we explore the core multi‑agent design patterns enabled by ADK, including sequential, parallel, and more advanced coordination models. Rather than focusing on tools alone, we’ll look at how to think architecturally about agent collaboration. You’ll learn: * When sequential agents are the right choice and when they become a bottleneck * How parallel agents improve speed and coverage (and the trade‑offs they introduce) * Common failure modes in poorly designed agent interactions * Practical criteria for choosing the right pattern based on task, latency, and reliability By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear mental model for designing multi‑agent systems that are intentional, scalable, and production‑ready. *About the Speaker* [Dr Roushanak Rahmat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roushanakrahmat/) is an Enterprise AI Architect, Google Developer Expert (AI & Cloud), and recognized among the Top 100 Women in Tech (2025).
