Benelux Robotics Meetup
Our first event outside Belgium. A sold-out night at TU/e Eindhoven, with AISO, on how the Benelux becomes a serious force in robotics.
Sold out. A waiting list. People arriving so early the room was packed thirty minutes before we started.
Pepijn Kooijmans (Hugging Face) opened with a keynote on LeRobot - open-source robot learning, affordable hardware, VLA models, and where Europe sits in the physical AI stack. Then a panel with Victor van Dinten (naext), Axel Vlaminck (Datameister), and Joep Selten (Ambyon) on what it actually takes to build a robotics startup in the region.
North Star started in Antwerp. Now we’re crossing borders.
