Featuring the Edge Microvisor Toolkit @ The Monthly Robotics Meetup on Nov 20 @ frontiertower

[biapalmeiro]

This month, the Monthly Robotics Meetup @ frontiertower — co-hosted with Tesla, will feature Intel Corporation’s Open Edge Platform.

San Francisco’s sharpest robotics engineers, founders, and researchers are linking up again at Frontier Tower. If you’re building anything in robotics, edge AI, autonomy, mechatronics, or hardware… this is the room you want to be in.

This meetup is high-signal, fast-paced, and packed with people actually shipping robots.

@arodage will talk about: Accelerating Edge Robotics: AI Workloads and OS Image Composer on Intel’s Open Edge Platform (OEP)

About the speaker:
Alpesh, a Cloud Orchestration Architect at Intel Corporation, brings over 20 years of experience in software product development, including a decade focused on distributed computing frameworks and extensive experience in virtualization from Cisco Systems. He specializes in leveraging microservices, Kubernetes to enhance deployment processes, boost operational efficiency, and create scalable, secure architectures. Alpesh excels in guiding teams through the transition of legacy applications to modern, flexible infrastructures and adopting cloud-native ecosystems, making him an invaluable resource in this field.

What to expect:
Edge robotics requires infrastructure that is repeatable, secure, and observable, from OS images to cluster and application operations. This session will demonstrate how Intel’s Open Edge Platform (OEP) streamlines this process and introduce the OS Image Composer, a sophisticated tool designed to create customized OS images from pre-built packages. This toolchain emphasizes building immutable, signed, dm-verity/secure-boot OS images, optimized specifically for AI workloads.

The meetup will be at the following location:

📍 Frontier Tower
995 Market St, San Francisco
Come meet the builders shaping the next decade of robotics.
