New Year, New Bot - Give Your Bot an Agentic Brain

In this session, dotnet connects SDK-driven agent behavior to a physical robot, showing how software responses can become display output and movement.

From agent behavior to robot responses

The demonstration brings together three components:

• GitHub Copilot SDK to build the agentic AI experience.
• .NET and Aspire backend to integrate the agent with the application.
• M5Stack StackChan to give the agent a physical interface through the robot’s display and movements.

The session explores agent behaviors and tool use before connecting the software to the robot. The focus is on how an SDK-driven agent can power a physical AI companion, extending its responses beyond a software-only interface.
