On 9 April 2026, AI House Amsterdam hosts an evening on the role of AI and world models in modern robotics. Researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs come together to discuss how AI systems enable robots to understand and act in complex real-world environments.

The programme opens at 17:00 with a robotics show-and-tell. From 18:00, presentations, demos, and a panel discussion follow with Emanuela Girardi (President, ADRA), Dmitri Jarnikov (Senior Director Data Science, Prosus Group), Maarten Witteveen (CTO, Manus), Sébastien Willems (Co-founder & CEO, Antfarm), and robotics and AI builder Tom Mulder. Topics include world model training, perception-control integration, and combining simulation with reinforcement learning. A networking session closes the evening until 21:00. Admission is free.
