Enabling Multimodal Agents on the Edge

The next generation of AI agents is moving beyond cloud-based text-only models and will interact with the physical multimodal world in real-time. For example in the vision domain, AI agents rely on Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in their backbone. However, deploying massive VLMs with billions of parameters on the edge devices remains a significant engineering hurdle.

Drawing on our recent ICML and CVPR research papers, this session explores advancements in agentic model optimizations, specifically how distillation and pruning transform 'heavyweight' models into lean, edge-ready engines. Lastly, I present our UI agent running on the actual phone that is being developed by our lab's team.

About the Speaker

Denis Gudovskiy is a Distinguished AI Engineer at Panasonic North America where he conducts R&D activities of various core AI methods, including multimodal and hardware-efficient agents, supervised and RL training pipelines, and robustness to out-of-distribution scenarios.

When the Camera Can’t Be Trusted: Health-Aware Visual AI for Reliable Near-Miss Detection

Near-miss detection systems are often evaluated as though every camera frame is equally trustworthy, even though blur, poor exposure, occlusion, contamination, and changing lighting can silently degrade the visual evidence used to make safety decisions. This talk presents an online camera-health framework that estimates visual reliability before downstream perception performance significantly deteriorates.

I will discuss how camera-health signals can support condition-aware evaluation, prioritize human review, reduce unreliable alerts, and trigger appropriate fallback behavior. Drawing from research in safety-critical visual perceptio

👉 To request a seat, please visit the official event page (takes 1min): https://www.munichrobotics.org/ Participants are selected by us - please understand that RSVPing here does not register you for the event. One room: robotics, industry, investors and technology partners. One shared goal: identifying what drives business impact. mAIkers and Google for Startups invite you to a curated roundtable on robotics and physical AI on Oct 26 at Google in Munich. 📅 Date: Monday, October 26, 2026 📍 Location: Exact location shared after approval ⏰ Time: 10am / 10:00 Uhr 🎟 Max. 30 spots, invite-only Who is it for? Founders and decision-makers of robotics & physical AI startups and scaleups, industry and investors. Request a seat For an in-depth, practical exchange on real-world opportunities and challenges in robotics, exploring potential solutions together. About mAIkers Based in Munich since 2024, we turn community know-how into business value in AI & deep tech, one domain at a time. Building on curated in-person matching of decision-makers, domain experts, investors and technology partners, we create a repeatable process that helps companies accelerate R&D, build commercial products and scale their business. Why? $18.8B raised by robotics startups worldwide in the first six months of 2026, more than in all of 2025. But Europe’s robotics ecosystem is fragmented and underfunded Munich has the robotics talent, industrial demand, research and capital to build a connecting layer for physical AI that can compete. At this roundtable, we want to bring them together.
