Robotics x AI : How Robotics Changed After AI Happened

Robotics didn't just get "smarter" this past year - the entire field shifted under the weight of what AI made possible. Foundation models, new capabilities, new expectations, new questions about what's actually real vs. hype. After Hours 1 is a conversation about that shift, with the people actually living it. Expect a small room, a live poll to kick things off, a short guest spotlight, and a guided discussion - not a panel, not a pitch session. Bring your questions, your skepticism, your hot takes. This is the first edition of what we hope becomes a regular Tokyo gathering for robotics and AI people — engineers, founders, researchers, and the curious alike. Location: Cocorogoto Cafe, Shibuya, Tokyo
