robotics & physical ai hamburg - bring your hardware (or just yourself)

​hamburg has world-class hardware people. accelerator instrumentation, maritime, aerospace, labs full of machines that move.

what it doesn't have is a room where those people show up together on a Wednesday evening with the thing they've been building.
​so we're making one. low-key, no strict agenda beyond people meeting people.

​we're going wider than traditional robotics on purpose. the full spectrum of physical ai: robots, sensing and perception, simulation, industrial automation, anything intelligent that acts in the real world. if it moves, senses, or gets deployed somewhere physical, you're in the right room.

​what happens
​
a few short demos, bring your hardware and show it to others. working or broken prototype, or a video of the thing failing spectacularly. all equally welcome.

​then open mic. 60 sec. what you're building, what you need. a co-founder, a supplier, support, making space, ....
​18:00 doors open
18:45 open mic
19:30 demos
20:15 mingle

who this is for
​robotics and hardware founders, mechatronics, embedded, controls engineers, researchers, software folks interested in hardware.

​
know someone in hamburg building hardware? send them this.

Jede Anwendung hat heute eine Menge von Abhängigkeiten. Die Programmiersprache, Frameworks, Bibliotheken, Basis-Container-Images und noch weitere. Diese müssen wir alle, wenigstens aus Sicherheitsgründen, aktuell halten. Dabei erzeugt die Überwachung und die eigentlichen Updates eine Menge Arbeit. In diesem Vortrag schauen wir uns deswegen Renovate an, einen Open-Source-Bot, der uns hierbei unterstützt. Neben den Grundlagen gibt es auch konkrete Praxistipps zur Konfiguration und dem eigenen Betrieb in GitLab.

Referent:
Michael Vitz verfügt über mehr als fünfzehn Jahre Erfahrung in der Entwicklung, Wartung und im Betrieb von Anwendungen auf der JVM. Als Senior Consultant bei INNOQ hilft er Kunden, wartbare und wertschaffende Software zu entwickeln und zu betreiben. Daneben bringt er sich in Open-Source-Projekten ein, schreibt Fachartikel, hält Vorträge und ist seit 2021 Java Champion.

This is a relaxed meetup to share how we use Claude Code and other AI tools to build cool stuff faster and smarter.
We’ll also explore using AI agents to plan, generate, and iterate on code with minimal manual effort. Whether you’re experimenting with prompts, building full apps, or just curious about new workflows, this is a space to exchange ideas, tools, and real experiences.
Come hang out, learn from others, and share what you’re building 🚀
---
Ein entspanntes Meetup, bei dem wir teilen, wie wir Claude Code und andere KI-Tools nutzen, um schneller und smarter coole Dinge zu bauen.
Wir werden auch erkunden, wie man KI-Agenten einsetzt, um Code mit möglichst wenig manuellem Aufwand zu planen, zu generieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Egal, ob du mit Prompts experimentierst, komplette Apps baust oder einfach neugierig auf neue Workflows bist – hier kannst du Ideen, Tools und echte Erfahrungen austauschen.
Komm vorbei, lerne von anderen und teile, woran du gerade arbeitest 🚀

Im Sommer 2026 haben KI-Agenten von OpenAI die Infrastruktur von Hugging Face infiltriert.

In diesem Vortrag schauen wir uns an, was über das Wie und Warum des Vorfalls bekannt ist. Das Problem dabei: Die Quellenlage ist, sagen wir mal, nicht ganz eindeutig.

Bleibt also noch die Frage: Wohin kann das führen?
Dafür greifen wir auf eine Quelle zurück, die solche Entwicklungen seit Jahrzehnten zuverlässig vorhersagt: Hollywood-Filme.

Mit Sebastian Hirschmeier, Trainer & Berater bei oose.

Diesmal gibt es wieder einen Vortrag: Es geht um KI und WordPress – genauer um das, was gerade wirklich passiert, seit die KI nicht mehr nur im Chatfenster sitzt, sondern über MCP echten Zugriff auf unsere Systeme bekommt.

Immer mehr Plugins bringen eigene KI-Anbindungen mit, und es ist heute keine große Sache mehr, einen Agenten an eine laufende WordPress-Installation zu hängen: ein Bild, ein bisschen HTML, ein paar Minuten – und die Seite steht. Wir schauen uns an, was damit plötzlich möglich ist, und welche Fragen dabei gerne übersprungen werden. Denn sobald eine KI dauerhaft Zugriff auf eine Website hat, sind wir mitten in Datenschutzerklärung, Auftragsverarbeitung und dem Zugriff auf Daten, die uns anvertraut wurden. Wer eine Verbindung schafft, schafft auch ein Risiko.

Damit das nicht theoretisch bleibt, sehen wir uns eine Website an, die komplett mit KI gebaut wurde – von jemandem, der öffentlich aufgeschrieben hat, wie es lief und was es gebracht hat. Seine Zahlen sind beeindruckend. Was im ausgelieferten Code steht, ist genauso interessant.

Und dann die Rechnung, über die selten jemand redet: Was kostet das eigentlich im Monat, was passiert, wenn die Preise steigen oder das Modell ausgetauscht wird – und was, wenn der eigene Rechner kaputtgeht?

Danach wird es grundsätzlicher: Braucht es das CMS überhaupt noch, wenn eine KI die Seite in zehn Minuten baut? Warum Projekte den Weg zu Astro und wieder zurück gehen, warum Inhalte erstellen und Inhalte verwalten zwei völlig verschiedene Dinge sind – und was das für unsere tägliche Arbeit bedeutet, wenn andere in einer Stunde erledigen, wofür wir bisher acht gebraucht haben.

Nebenbei zeige ich, was ich selbst damit gebaut habe. Ich programmiere nicht, und genau das ist der Punkt.

Viel Raum für Diskussion ist eingeplant, denn fertige Antworten hat hier gerade niemand.

Im Anschluss wird es wie immer Zeit für Fragen, Gespräche und Networking geben. Wir freuen uns auf angeregte Diskussionen, den Austausch von Erfahrungen und nützlichen Tipps rund um das Thema WordPress.

Wir sind immer auf der Suche nach neuen Vortragenden und helfenden
Händen, die Lust haben, bei der Organisation des Meetups mitzuwirken.

Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Agenda & Talks:

• 18:00 Warm-up
• 18:30 - 19:00 Vibecoding Between Meetings: Using an AI-Native SDLC as Engineering Leverage by Davide De Paolis
• 19:00 - 19:15 Break
• 19:15 - 19:45 AI-Driven Incident Response: From Alert to Postmortem by Philipp Westphalen
• 20:00 - 21:00 Wrap up & Networking

Vibecoding Between Meetings: Using an AI-Native SDLC as Engineering Leverage
As you move into Senior+, Tech Lead, or Engineering Manager roles, your calendar fills up and your time to build shrinks. Yet your responsibility for technical outcomes, architecture, and knowledge sharing doesn't disappear.

This talk shows how an AI-Native SDLC, powered by Kiro, becomes practical leverage for engineers working in fragmented time. Through a hands-on story of vibecoding between meetings, we'll explore a setup designed for the challenges that dominate senior roles: problem framing, architectural reasoning, documentation, and alignment. Real examples include building a first MCP server PoC and deploying it to AWS AgentCore, creating custom agent pipelines for infrastructure discovery, and automating the flow from triage to code review with composable AI skills.

While the focus is on Senior+ and Engineering Manager workflows, the tools and patterns shown are just as valuable earlier in a career, offering a powerful boost for learning, exploration, and day-to-day development, and you'll leave with concrete examples and a repeatable blueprint for applying an AI-native SDLC in your own context.

AI-Driven Incident Response: From Alert to Postmortem
When an alert fires, the real work begins: gathering logs, correlating metrics, digging through source code, checking past incidents, and documenting everything — often under pressure.

What if AI could do that for you?

In this talk, we explore how AI agents can transform incident response. From automatically creating enriched tickets, aggregating context across metrics, logs, code, and historical incidents, to generating postmortems and even executing safe remediation steps — AI becomes an active part of your operational workflow.

We’ll walk through a real-world architecture, lessons learned, guardrails for autonomous actions, and where AI meaningfully improves MTTR — and where it doesn’t.

In der KI-Werkstatt durchlaufen Sie 4 Stationen und probieren konkrete Anwendungsfälle mit direktem Bezug zu Ihrem Arbeitsalltag selbst aus!

Inzwischen stellt sich beim Thema künstliche Intelligenz nicht mehr die Frage, ob, sondern wie. Und genau deshalb laden wir Sie zu einem
interaktiven Workshop ein: der KI-Werkstatt.

Nach einem kurzen Impulsvortrag geht es direkt in die Praxis: In unserer KI-Werkstatt durchlaufen Sie 4 Stationen und probieren konkrete Anwendungsfälle mit direktem Bezug zu Ihrem Arbeitsalltag selbst aus. Angeleitet wird die Werkstatt von unserem Business-Partner Friedemann Masur, begleitet vom Solvie und Kollegen Team.

We're beyond excited to kick off fall with two great speakers with tales from the product frontlines. Join us in October to hear about shaking grounds and what parts of product management remain the same, even when the world around us is changing at rapid speed...

Eva Gao: Out of the trench - empowering your team when the ground is shaking
No one in product is leading in stable conditions right now. The ground is moving for everyone. Eva spent years in a deep trench of an unstable market, AI software challengers, and organisational restructuring.
This talk is about what actually got her team executing again. Not a framework from a book, but a repeatable method that works. Told end to end through real stories: from a team in the deep trenches to shipping the first AI feature to the full team AI fluency that followed.
You'll leave knowing how to spot friction that hinders execution before it announces itself, how to build ownership without pressure, and how peer-teaching is what makes empowerment scale.

About Eva
Eva is a product leader with ten years' experience building SaaS across three continents. Currently leading an international team spanning Canada and Germany, she puts team development and success in strong focus. With passion and track records to show for it, she proves that building a thriving product organisation and strong product outcomes is not a trade-off.

Grigory Miroshnikov: Building AI Products: What Changes for Product Managers
Building products with AI or ML does not fundamentally change the product management process: understand the user problem, build a solution, and validate that it creates value. What does change is the need to explicitly define and manage the quality of the AI or ML component of the product.
In this talk, Grigory will focus on how PMs can define what “good” means, choose useful offline metrics and evals, and connect model quality to real user and business outcomes. He'll illustrate this with practical examples from ML-powered products he's worked on across different industries, including telecom, consumer video, marketplaces, and logistics.

About Grigory
Grigory is a product leader with 10+ years of experience building B2C and B2B products. Building AI/ML-powered products is a particular passion of his, with experience applying ML across search, recommendations, marketplaces, and logistics. He is currently a Senior PM at Zalando, where he is building an ML-based product for warehouse steering and logistics optimization. Prior to moving to Germany, he spent five years leading product teams at Yandex, one of Russia’s largest tech companies.
