Details of the speakers: 1) [ENG] 18:15 - Mariusz Szczepanik - Building Autonomous Drones with ROS 2: From Behavior Trees to Flight Controllers - Designing autonomous inspection drones means connecting high-level mission logic with low-level hardware control. In this practical session, you’ll see how to build these systems with ROS 2. ​We’ll walk through a typical drone architecture, including MAVLink-based communication between flight controllers such as PX4 and ArduPilot, companion computers, and ground control stations such as QGroundControl (QGC). ​The session then moves into mission logic. We’ll compare traditional state machines with behaviour trees (BTs) and introduce inspection_bt, a flight-controller-agnostic framework built for complex inspection scenarios, with state visualisation through Groot2. ​Finally, we’ll look at safety and testability. You’ll learn how simulation environments such as Gazebo and Spyrosoft’s open-source rtest framework can help reduce flaky tests and support a reliable, repeatable CI environment for ROS 2. ​Join the session to see how a cohesive open-source stack can accelerate autonomous drone development. About the speaker: As the Head of Robotics at Spyrosoft Synergy and a Principal Engineer, Mariusz leads robotics projects with a heavy focus on ROS 2, autonomous navigation, and sensor fusion. His expertise spans from high-level autonomy and architecture down to integration with flight controllers. He is deeply committed to engineering excellence, focusing on how to design, test, and deploy stable, production-ready autonomous robots and UAVs. He is also an active contributor to open-source robotics solutions and ecosystems, helping drive innovation and collaboration within the robotics community. In addition, Mariusz has shared his expertise on international stages, including as a speaker at ROSCon in Singapore, where he presented Rtest, an open-source testing framework designed and developed at Spyrosoft to improve the quality, reliability, and efficiency of testing in ROS-based systems. 2) 19:15 - Short break and networking! 3) 19:30 - Kseniia Sych - Homemade RAG System for Answering D&D Rules Questions - Just as a Dungeon Master relies on the rulebook, AI models need context to provide accurate answers. In this talk, we’ll take a look at a toy example of an AI assistant designed to answer questions about Dungeons & Dragons 5e rules. Despite its simplicity, the system contains all the essential components of a production-ready RAG system. About the speaker: Lead Machine Learning Engineer at VirtusLab, she builds recommendation systems by day and plays D&D by night. With a Master’s in Computer Science and nearly a decade of experience in the IT industry, her career has been an adventure of its own—from backend ecommerce development to ML engineering in automotive R&D, and now back to ecommerce. 4) 20:30 - Short break and networking! 5) ​20:45 -TBD 6) ​21:45- Lightning Talks and networking! --------- The meeting sponsors are: * hub:raum * Weekly Robotics * ​Spyrosoft Want to be a speaker?
