 n9:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST\nOnline. **[Register for the Zoom!](https://voxel5
 1.com/events/adas-av-and-ai-meetup-september-17-2026)**\n\n**AI for Autono
 mous Driving: From Data to Decisions**\n\nBuilding reliable automated driv
 ing systems is as much a data and engineering challenge as a modeling one.
  In this talk\, Tin will share perspectives from his work at Porsche AG on
  applying modern AI methods across the autonomous driving development proc
 ess\, from making sense of large-scale driving data to understanding and e
 valuating how AI-based systems behave on the road. He'll discuss lessons l
 earned from real-world development\, where today's approaches shine\, and 
 where hard problems remain for the ADAS and AV community.\n\n*About the Sp
 eaker*\n\n[Tin Stribor Sohn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tin-stribor-sohn/
 ) is a PhD Student at Porsche AG and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 
 the area of Foundation Models for Scenario Understanding and Decision Maki
 ng in Autonomous Robotics\, Tech Lead at Data Driven Engineering for Auton
 omous Driving\, Prior: Master in CS at University of Tuebingen with focus 
 on Computer Vision and Deep Learning and co-founder of a software company 
 for smart EV charging\n\n**Advancing ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle Developme
 nt with Multimodal Data**\n\nADAS and autonomous vehicle systems rely on i
 ncreasingly complex data from cameras\, video\, LiDAR\, radar\, and other 
 sensor streams. In this session\, Murilo will introduce Voxel51 and explor
 e how the latest multimodal capabilities in FiftyOne help teams bring thes
 e data sources together to better understand their datasets and model beha
 vior. He’ll discuss how unified workflows for visualization\, search\, c
 uration\, and evaluation can help ADAS and AV teams uncover challenging sc
 enarios\, investigate model failures\, and build safer\, more reliable aut
 onomous systems.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Murilo Gustineli](https://www.

 learning research through competitive challenges and peer-reviewed publica
 tions.\n\n**From Survey-Grade Maps to Physical AI: Scaling Real-World Data
  for Training and Simulation**\n\nPhysical AI systems are increasingly con
 strained not by model architectures\, but by the availability of scalable\
 , high-fidelity real-world data. This talk explores how Dynamic Map Platfo
 rm transforms survey-grade road assets collected across 1.8 million km of 
 roads worldwide into training- and simulation-ready datasets\, including p
 oint clouds\, imagery\, HD maps\, road surface models\, and 3D Gaussian Sp
 latting representations.\n\nWe will discuss why geometric accuracy\, seman
 tic understanding\, and real-world diversity are critical to building robu
 st autonomous driving systems. Attendees will learn how real-world geospat
 ial data can be structured and scaled for AI training and simulation workf
 lows.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Ryoto Miyake](https://www.linkedin.com/in

 \nAt Mercedes-Benz\, our AI Principles guide every step of innovation\, em
 phasizing responsible use\, safety and reliability\, explainability\, and 
 the protection of privacy. These principles go beyond statements and activ
 ely shape how we design\, test\, and deploy AI systems in real-world autom
 otive and enterprise settings. In this talk\, I will present how these pri
 nciples inspired our recent research on when reusing LoRA (Low-Rank Adapta
 tion) is effective. By combining theoretical analysis with synthetic data 
 as a proxy for enterprise scenarios\, we uncovered the strengths and limit
 ations of modular AI components under constrained data access. Our finding
 s provide practical guidance on when reused LoRAs could deliver high-quali
 ty results.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Mei-Yen Chen](https://www.linkedin.
 com/in/mei-yen-chen-22937787) is a Senior Data Scientist at Mercedes-Benz 
 Tech Innovation GmbH in Germany with 10 years of industry experience in AI
  and data solutions. She leads early-stage AI projects across business fun
 ctions and collaborates with research institutions on machine learning and
  responsible AI.\n\n**Region Tokens as the Visual Primitive: From Recognit
 ion to World Modeling**\n\nPatch-based tokenization has become the default
  interface between vision encoders and downstream models\, yet patches car
 ry no semantic structure and scale poorly with resolution and temporal ext
 ent. This talk presents a research program centered on replacing patch tok
 ens with region-level representations — semantically dense tokens ground
 ed in visual entities rather than arbitrary grid crops.\n\nI will describe
  RELOCATE\, REN\, and T-REN\, a progression of methods that produce region
  tokens via pooling\, train them with region-level objectives\, and extend
  them to video with temporal coherence. I will then present ongoing work i
 ntegrating region tokens into VLMs to directly expand visual context capac
 ity\, and preliminary results on future region trajectory prediction as a 
 foundation for world modeling.\n\nThe broader thesis is that region-level 
 tokens are a more natural unit of visual computation than patches\, and th
 eir advantage compounds as task complexity\, resolution\, and temporal hor
 izon increase.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Savya Khosla](https://www.linked
 in.com/in/savyakhosla/) is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University o
 f Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, advised by Prof. Derek Hoiem and Prof. Alex 
 Schwing.\n\n**Leveraging Text-To-Image Diffusion Models for Consistent Set
 -to-Set Generation**\n\nImage collections are humans' primary way of captu
 ring the world\, yet advances in generative editing remain largely inappli
 cable to this modality. We address this gap by introducing Match-and-Fuse 
 - a zero-shot\, training-free method for consistent set-to-set generation 
 from image collections that share a common visual element but differ in vi
 ewpoint\, capture time\, and surrounding content.\nOur key idea is a unifi
 ed graph-based framework that combines dense correspondences with an emerg
 ent prior in text-to-image diffusion models to generate coherent canvases.
  We achieve state-of-the-art consistency and visual quality\, and unlock n
 ew creative capabilities for content generation.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\

 nt in Computer Vision at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her research s
 its at the intersection of generative models\, 3D/4D perception\, and mult
 imodal learning\, focusing on problems where vision meets other modalities
  or paradigms in creative tasks.\n\n**Yield Estimation of a Coffee in a de
 nse environment**\n\nThis presentation provides a detailed workflow relate
 d to coffee yield estimation in a dense environment. With photos of pre-ha
 rvest coffee plants from a couple of coffee estates\, details related to p
 re-processing\, annotation to detect regions of interest (ROI)\, object de

 just start and want to learn more tricks to master this new tech? Or you a
 re already feeling like you're mastering the art of vibe coding and want t
 o share you experience?\n\nCome join us for an evening of hands-on vibe co
 ding with professionals as well as casual vibe coders.\nBring your laptop 
 (it's hands-on) and let's bring some pet project or big idea to life in a 
 few hours.\n\nThis will be in person at the IdeaFabLab Thursday May 7th\, 
 6:30PM-8:30PM or later\n\nEveryone welcome from 5 to 105 years old\n\nwhat
  to bring:\n- your laptop. this is going to be a mini-hackathon style exer
 cise.\n- your project ideas\n- your enthusiam for vibe coding\n\nWhat fram
 ework should i use?\nwe use various coding env\, like VS code with extensi
 ons like Claude code\, Codex\, Cline... or the desktop app version. any of
  those are good.\n\nWhat model should i use?\nmodels change all the time\,
  Anthropic just release opus4.7 which is probably the top contender today\
 , but gpt5.4\, grok 4.1 or even z.ai glm5.1 are good options. you can find
  model ranking for coding here:\nhttps://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/coding\
 n\nWhat we can recommend is that you get a subscription to one of those. A
  ~$20/mo subscription will get you a long way already. Using pay as you go
  API tokens usually ends up being a lot more expensive (you may spend $20 
 in an hour of coding) unless you use the cheaper models (like z Ai) but th
 ese tend to always be behind on the leaderboard.\n\nif you're not sure\, j
 ust come watch and see for yourself what people use.

 **[Register for the Zoom!](https://voxel51.com/events/mcp-agents-skills-me
 etup-october-8-2026)**\n\n**Designing Multi‑Agent Systems: Sequential\, 
 Parallel\, and Beyond with ADK**\n\nMulti‑agent systems are powerful but
  choosing the wrong interaction pattern can quickly lead to fragile\, slow
 \, or expensive AI systems.\nIn this talk\, we explore the core multi‑ag
 ent design patterns enabled by ADK\, including sequential\, parallel\, and
  more advanced coordination models. Rather than focusing on tools alone\, 
 we’ll look at how to think architecturally about agent collaboration.\n\
 nYou’ll learn:\n\n* When sequential agents are the right choice and when
  they become a bottleneck\n* How parallel agents improve speed and coverag
 e (and the trade‑offs they introduce)\n* Common failure modes in poorly 
 designed agent interactions\n* Practical criteria for choosing the right p
 attern based on task\, latency\, and reliability\n\nBy the end of the sess
 ion\, you’ll have a clear mental model for designing multi‑agent syste
 ms that are intentional\, scalable\, and production‑ready.\n\n*About the
  Speaker*\n\n[Dr Roushanak Rahmat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roushanakra
 hmat/) is an Enterprise AI Architect\, Google Developer Expert (AI & Cloud
 )\, and recognized among the Top 100 Women in Tech (2025). With a PhD in A
 rtificial Intelligence and over 15 years of experience\, she specializes i
 n designing and delivering enterprise-scale Generative AI\, Agentic AI\, a
 nd Deep Learning solutions that transform industries including healthcare\
 , finance\, energy\, and public services.\n\n**Privacy by Deployment: Arch
 itecting Agent-Driven Localization Workflows for Regulated Environments**\
 n\nMost enterprise AI today is private by promise - a DPA\, a SOC 2 report
 \, or a contract clause that says\, "we won't train on your data". For a r
 egulated buyer\, these are remedies after a breach\, not controls that pre
 vent or contain one. For organizations in healthcare\, finance\, defense\,
  and government\, privacy often requires stronger guarantees: data residen
 cy\, customer-controlled execution\, and\, in some cases\, operation withi
 n air-gapped environments.\n\nThis session demonstrates how agentic AI can
  automate a localization workflow while operating within these constraints
 . Using a real-world localization pipeline as an example\, we will show ho
 w agentic systems can coordinate translation\, review\, quality assurance\
 , and content preparation tasks while incorporating human checkpoints for 
 approval and oversight.\n\nWe will also walk through the architectural pat
 terns that enable these workflows to run inside customer-controlled and ai
 r-gapped environments without transferring sensitive content outside the c
 ustomer boundary. The session includes a live product demonstration.\n\nKe
 y Takeaways\n\n* Architectural patterns for deploying agentic AI in air-ga
 pped and customer-controlled environments\n* How agentic systems can autom
 ate localization workflows while preserving critical human review and appr
 oval processes\n* Practical considerations for operating agentic workflows
  in regulated environments with auditability and governance requirements\n
 \n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Shruti Joshi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/28shru
 ti) is building an AI powered secure localization stack for regulated indu
 stries such as healthcare\, legal\, finance that cannot send their content
  to a typical hosted SaaS. She brings 12+ years of engineering and archite
 cture experience to the question this talk addresses: how do you make an a
 gentic AI system deployable inside a regulated perimeter.\n\n**MCP Is the 
 Interface\; Skills Are the Operating Discipline**\n\nThis talk shows how M
 CP and Agent Skills work together in practical agent systems. MCP gives ag
 ents a standard interface to tools\, data\, and workflows\; skills encode 
 the operating discipline that makes those connections reliable. Using a sa
 nitized field-operations ledger as the case study\, the talk walks through

 Hernandez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-hernandez/) is an AI engineer
 ing and client-delivery leader with 10+ years across software\, data platf
 orms\, and enterprise implementation\, including 3+ years shipping product
 ion GenAI systems.\n\n**Agentic engineering is about good guidance.**\n\nG
 arbage Inn. Is garbage out? This is true. For many input and output proces
 ses. In biological life and in computer systems\, and equally true when wo
 rking with LLM’s. The better the prompt\, the better the context\, the b
 etter the focus\, And the better the contextual awareness\, the better the
  quality of the output the LLM’s generates.\nThis is the governance\, ar
 t and practice of what we like to call agentic engineering\, something I'v
 e been practicing over the last year.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Dimitri G
 eelen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitrigeelen/) builds things that don'
 t need him once they're done. Frameworks\, transitions\, agentic systems 
 — the measure of success is always the same: does it hold up when he lea
 ves the room? He understands not just how to deploy\, but what it takes fo
 r a new service to survive and scale inside a complex enterprise.

  those are good.\n\nWhat model should i use?\nmodels change all the time\,
  Anthropic just release opus4.7 which is probably the top contender today\
 , but gpt5.4\, grok 4.1 or even z.ai glm5.1 are good options. you can find
  model ranking for coding here:\nhttps://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/coding\
 n\nWhat we can recommend is that you get a subscription to one of those. A
  ~$20/mo subscription will get you a long way already. Using pay as you go
  API tokens usually ends up being a lot more expensive (you may spend $20 
 in an hour of coding) unless you use the cheaper models (like z Ai) but th
 ese tend to always be behind on the leaderboard.\n\nif you're not sure\, j
 ust come watch and see for yourself what people use.
