Discover the past, present, and future of Artificial Intelligence in this interactive, family-friendly workshop.  

Schedule of Events:

5:30-6:30 Panel in Koret Auditorium

  • Hosted by Dr. Albert Hu of SuperTech FT, the program begins with a multimedia introduction and Q&A, tracing AI’s early origins and highlighting today’s Bay Area innovations. For this event, we have also invited two visionary AI robotics leaders—Florian Pestoni of InOrbit and Prof. Dr. Xiao Xiao of Friendly Robots—to introduce their innovations and interact directly with visitors. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to speak with them and hear their insights.

6:30-7:30 Activity Stations in Koret Lobby

  • Participants will then explore hands-on activity stations designed for all ages: build and program an educational robot, engage with advanced robotics projects from local students and startups, and experience live demonstrations of cutting-edge agentic and physical AI robots. These stations are staffed by senior assistants from top universities, including UC Berkeley, CSU, and other leading institutions.

This program is hosted jointly by Supertech FT (STFT) and the Institute of Responsible AI Robotics (IRAIR). Both organizations work on promoting and servicing the education and training of Physical AI and AI robotics professionals. IRAIR serves international communities.
