The Evening of Embodied AI
🤖 Spend the evening with autonomous robo-dogs that'll interact with you while pulling their behavior guardrails from the Ethereum blockchain
🧠 Experience live demonstrations of Embodied AI created on decentralized infrastructure, exploring the possibilities of AGI with human interaction
🍻 Meet and hang out with other builders and operators who truly aspire to be frontier explorers in this evolving field
