HIGHLIGHTS:

BANQUET DINNER
Limited spaces are available. Our conference dinner will be held at the Ameswell Hotel with featured guest speaker Dr. Stephen K. Robinson. Before joining the faculty at the University of California, Davis in 2012, Dr. Stephen Robinson spent 37 years at NASA, where he worked as a technician, engineer, research scientist, pilot, and astronaut.

FLIGHT SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK F PRIME TUTORIAL (by Jet Propulsion Laboratory)
F Prime is an open-source, flight-proven flight software development ecosystem created by NASA JPL, tailored for small-scale systems such as CubeSats, SmallSats, and instruments. F' was used in the Ingenuity Helicopter. See the Open Source for Space Workshop's page on our website for details.

INTRODUCTION TO OMNIVERSE AND ROBOTICS SIMULATION IN ISAAC SIM (by NVIDIA)
This workshop will introduce the Omniverse and Isaac SIM platforms, cutting-edge solutions for robotics and simulations. It'll feature a hands-on lab where you'll dive into the simulation loop of a 3D engine, learning to initialize experiments with objects, robots, and physics logic, and build some small robotics control tasks and applications within the simulation environment. See the Space Robotics Workshop's page on our website for details.
