About this event

Join us at NYU's Kimmel Center (Room 914) on November 14th for the NYC Physical AI Workshop and Meetup, co-presented by Nebius and Voxel51.

The event kicks off meetup-style with lightning talks from local speakers working across AI, machine learning, and computer vision, followed by a hands-on workshop on building physical AI applications with FiftyOne, from curating robotics and sensor datasets to evaluating vision models on real-world data.

A laptop is required to participate in the hands-on workshop - please bring one. Space is limited, so register early.

Workshop Agenda

This hands-on session uses DROID, a real-world robotics dataset loaded into FiftyOne as a native multimodal MCAP recording, and YOLO11n, fine-tuned live during the session.

2:30–3:30 PM

Welcome + framing: from raw robot logs to a trained detector
Explore a real DROID robotics recording in FiftyOne's native multimodal MCAP viewer: camera, proprioception, and language on one synced timeline, no ROS install required
Curate: extract and browse frames from the recording, filter and deduplicate
Compute embeddings on the curated frames; explore via similarity search and embeddings visualization (via Nebius Serverless AI Jobs)

3:30–4:00 PM

Auto-label: open-vocabulary detection to generate bounding boxes for the robot gripper and target objects
Train: fine-tune a YOLO11n detector on the auto-labeled frames (via Nebius Serverless AI Jobs)
Evaluate results and close the loop: view predictions back on the original MCAP timeline

4:00–4:30 PM
