The AIoT Xperience Day held at our office in Düsseldorf on the 27th of September did just that! Together with Seeed Studio, UPLINK Network GmbH, Heliotics, and Infinetics, we organized an interactive workshop designed to unlock the potential of AI and Internet of Things (IoT). The workshop not only offered a chance to learn how to maximize the potential of AI and IoT through real-life demonstration, but also a chance to meet like-minded people and network with fellow change-makers and tech fans. 

The workshop began with opening statements from Techbros CEO Yudhi Rahadian, Seeed Studio Business Development Manager Violet Su, UPLINK Network Product Manager Jubin Molai, and Heliotics CEO Miroslav Macko. They expressed their excitement about the potential that AI and IoT possess, and how the integration between the two technologies will unlock doors of opportunities. 

“Now, AI and IoT aren’t just two stand-alone tools, but they’re a collaborative project,” Techbros CEO Yudhi Rahadian said in his opening statement. “This collaboration between Techbros, Seeed Studio, UPLINK Network, Heliotics, and Infinetics is based on our curiosity to find a connection between AI and IoT and how we can utilize that connection for the greater good, because if not us, then who?” 

The workshop highlighted two innovations: Meshtastic and the XIAO Series. Meshtastic is an open-source mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices. Through the Explore Meshtastic workshop, participants gained knowledge on how to create decentralized, off-grid networks using LoRa tech to experience a seamless messaging transmission. 

The Tinker with XIAO Devices part of the workshop, too, offered an eye-opening take on AI, especially for beginners. It taught participants how to train AI models hands-on using SenseCraft, a series of software services developed by Seeed Studio, and deploy them without any coding. XIAO aims for its users to be able to build their own AI sensors with ease and without the hassle of learning how to code beforehand. 

Afterward, participants indulged themselves in traditional Indonesian food as they chatted away about their experience and what key takeaways they learned by attending the workshop. AIoT Xperience Day is a testament to our endless commitment to always offering cutting-edge solutions to communities worldwide that aim to break boundaries and ease their lives.
