About this Event

Join us for an electrifying evening exploring the cutting edge of robotics, AI, and automation. This is your chance to meet the minds shaping the future, see breakthrough technology in action, and connect with fellow innovators. Whether you're an academic, engineer, student, or simply curious about robots, this is an unmissable event.

Researchers and industry experts in robotics will showcase their latest projects and talk about the philosophical challenges of human-robot interaction. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the transition of robotics from the lab to real-world applications.
