Robot-Con @ Amsterdam's Biggest Basketball Arena

🤖 Get ready for Robo Con @ Amsterdam's biggest basketball arena! We have 30+ robots coming to the event and 1,000+ people already signed up across Luma and Meetup! 🤖 🏀🏀🏀 We’ll have top robotics companies and student projects showing off their robots in Amsterdam's biggest basketball arena. It'll be an open robotics expo, where you can walk around the arena, check out the robots, and network. We'll also have some fun entertainment (more on that below) at the event. The doors open at 16:00, although of course you can get there later. We know work can be busy! 🤖🤖🤖 We already have over 30 robots coming to Robo Con, including the TU Delft, VU, and UvA robotics departments, large organizations like Monumental, Nebius, the Dutch Police Force, and Prosus, and six robotics startups. 🍿🍿🍿 We'll have some entertainment for this event, including a robot football match (known as a "RoboCup"), a robot dance contest, and a robot race. We also have a t-shirt cannon to fire free t-shirts into the crowd! The show and entertainment portion of the event will start around 18:00. But it's not just silly entertainment. We'll have an excellent panel after the entertainment portion of the event. 🎤🎤🎤 The panel will discuss the cutting edge of AI in robotics, and features Sebas Visser, the founder and CTO of Monumental, and Pepijn Kooijmans, who leads Hugging Face's open-source robotics initiative. We'll announce the third and final panelist soon. Seb Vaessen will moderate the panel. Seb leads venture investing in Europe at Prosus, and is investing in robotics companies. After the panel ends, we'll go back to an open expo and networking until they kick us out. ❌❌❌ We're also partnering with the City of Amsterdam for this event, through Amsterdam Trade & Invest and StartupAmsterdam. The City of Amsterdam is committed to promoting deep tech and robotics. One example is the city's recent investment in the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) robotics lab, which brings together stud
