Bootcamp: Focusing on the Current State of Agents

Share the event

The Kickoff Week Bootcamp launches IVADO’s Thematic Semester on Autonomous LLM Agents. Designed to equip participants with foundational knowledge and hands-on experience, this four-day event brings together researchers and students to explore the core capabilities, risks, and real-world implications of agentic AI systems.

Each day focuses on a distinct theme:

  • Day 1: Software Engineering – Coding Agents
  • Day 2: Computer Use – Browsing Agents
  • Day 3: Robotics and Embodiment
  • Day 4: Multi-Agent Interaction / Human-in-the-Loop Interaction

This event sets the stage for the broader semester by blending state-of-the-art talks, practical tutorials, and interdisciplinary research discussions.
