Cracow Robotics & AI Club #16: autonomous drones with ROS 2 and D&D RAG system
Build autonomous drones with ROS 2 and a production-ready RAG for Dungeons & Dragons rules.
The Cracow Robotics & AI Club #16 meetup takes place on Monday, June 29, 2026 at 18:00 CET at hub:raum Kraków (ul. Przemysłowa 12). The event features two technical talks aimed at robotics and AI practitioners.
Mariusz Szczepanik, Head of Robotics at Spyrosoft Synergy, will present on building autonomous drones with ROS 2. The talk covers system architecture, behavior trees, and integration with flight controllers, along with reliable testing methodologies. Kseniia Sych, Lead ML Engineer at VirtusLab, will demonstrate building a custom RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) system that answers questions about Dungeons & Dragons rules, showcasing core components of production-ready AI assistants. The event is free, with networking in English, and encourages Lightning Talk submissions. Registration via the Luma link is required.
