SUMMARY:Print and train your own humanoid robot

DESCRIPTION:Description:\nAt last year's Big Techday\, it was boldly announ
	ced on stage: “Next time\, we’ll bring a fully DIY humanoid robot.”\nTurns
	 out … building one is way harder than ordering it on the internet. \n\nIn
	 this talk\, Dr. Florian Gather\, Tobias Weyer and Fabian Lübbe rewind to 
	that moment of bold overconfidence and fast-forward to the reality of 3D-p
	rinted gears\, tangled cables\, lost nerves\, and finally a humanoid robot
	 that (mostly) does what it’s told. Instead of spending 50k€ on a polished
	 platform\, they took the scenic route: Printing\, assembling\, breaking\,
	 fixing\, and eventually training their own humanoid robot based on the Be
	rkeley Humanoid Lite.\n\nThey’ll walk you through the full journey: From C
	AD explosions and 3D part mass production to first movements\, many failur
	es\, and the glorious moment of a successful first biceps curl. Along the 
	way\, they dive into reinforcement learning for locomotion\, explore how R
	OS helps to keep the chaos under control\, and discuss what really makes h
	umanoid robotics so challenging.\n\nOf course\, they won’t just talk about
	 it - they’ll show it live on stage. Best case: It walks. Worst case: It b
	ecomes a very embarrassing modern art performance.\n----------------------
