NL dbt meetup: 17th Edition

🤖 Get ready for Robo Con @ Amsterdam's biggest basketball arena! We have over 30 robots coming to the event, and more than 1,300 people have signed up to attend across Luma and Meetup.com! 🤖 🏀🏀🏀 We'll have an open robotics expo where you can walk around the basketball 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 have over 30 robots coming to Robo Con! The TU Delft, VU, and UvA robotics departments are bringing a variety of robots. We'll also have robots from large organizations like Monumental, Nebius, the Dutch police force, and Prosus, as well as robotics startups like Antfarm, BTScout, Manus, and VNYX. 🍿🍿🍿 We'll have some entertainment for this event, including a robot football match (known as a "RoboCup"), a robot dance contest, a robot race, and a t-shirt cannon firing free t-shirts into the crowd! The UvA RoboCup team will be bringing a mobile football pitch, they'll set it up on the court, and we'll hold a football match between two teams of robots! 🚓🚓🚓 For a fun twist, the Dutch police force's "RoboCop" robot will play in the RoboCup football match. RoboCop vs. RoboCup! Try saying "RoboCop vs. RoboCup at Robo Con" three times fast!! Anyway, the show and entertainment 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), Laura Ferranti (a professor in the Cognitive Robotics department at TU Delft), and Pepijn Kooijmans (leads Hugging Face's open-source robotics initiative). 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

They narrate it. Preserve the reasoning as structure, and the story can be checked against what actually drove the outcome. Can Agents Dream? \- Florian Buetow During sleep, our brain replays and reorganizes past actions and experiences, helping us learn from them through dreaming. Most agents' memory systems have no equivalent. They store and retrieve information on demand. But they do not replay or learn from the agents' past actions. This session introduces dreaming as an agentic memory architecture that improves the performance of long-running agents. It covers the main approaches and compares them with retrieval-based memory systems. Grounding AI Agents in Your Data Model \- Ricardo Granados Lopez AI can already read your SQL and draft what a data model means. This talk is about what has to be true before you'd trust that draft enough to rely on it. We'll walk through a working pipeline, live, that grounds an AI agent's claims about your data in real evidence, and come away with a precise, testable answer for where that trust can be automatic and where it can't. Looking forward to welcoming you! 👋🚀
