Session: Macaron or Macaroons? Let’s build a real-time macaron detection robot!
Ever wondered how to give your projects “eyes” and have it interact with real life? Join Adrienne for this talk where you’ll dive into the pretty neat world of physical AI. She will take you step-by-step in building a macaron or macaroon detection robot using a raspberry pi, a webcam, and a custom model we’ll train live! We’ll put it all together through the Viam platform, where each component is a modular building block that composes the robot of your wildest dreams. No machine learning, AI, or robotics experience required (you’ll gain some in this talk though)!
Expect a fun, step-by-step session where you’ll learn:
- How to create and train a macaron vs macaroon detection model using EfficientDET-COCO and LiteRT (formerly TensorFlow Lite)
- How to optimize a model for deployment on edge devices (like a Raspberry Pi)
- How to compose a modular robot that is capable of extensions or rework.
Join us (if only to finally figure out the difference between these delectable desserts)!
