Keynotes

Opening Keynote: Constructing Robotic Basis Fashions
Time: 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM
Location: Theater
Speaker: Sergey Levine, co-founder of Bodily Intelligence and affiliate professor at UC Berkeley

Basic-purpose basis fashions, reminiscent of ChatGPT, have demonstrated how general-purpose fashions skilled on various datasets can outperform narrowly tailor-made specialist fashions, even on duties these specialised fashions are particularly designed for. Can the identical transformation occur in robotics? On this presentation, I’ll talk about how basis fashions for end-to-end management of robotic programs may be constructed, how we are able to collect massive and various datasets for such programs, and the way they will allow new and thrilling robotic capabilities.

Hearth Chat Keynote: A Dialog with Claire Delaunay
Time: 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM
Location: Theater
Speaker: Claire Delaunay, the CTO of farm-ng

Famend roboticist Claire Delaunay will share her insights into the present and future state of robotics and varied enabling applied sciences. She’ll additionally talk about her profession journey, what it takes to construct and scale startups and merchandise, and the way forward for autonomous farming.

Closing Keynote: Reside Demo of Endiatx’s Swallowable Robotic Capsule
Time: 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Location: Theater
Speaker: Torrey Smith, the co-founder and CEO of Endiatx

Endiatx develops swallowable robotic drugs for telemedicine. The PillBot is a digital endoscope that offers docs a real-time look contained in the human physique. Endiatx Co-Founder and CEO Torrey Smith will take us contained in the robotic’s growth, element its advantages, and shut RoboBusiness with a dwell demo of PillBot on stage.

Expo Corridor

The RoboBusiness exhibit corridor will likely be open from 10:00 AM till 3:00 PM on the second day of the present. It options over 100 exhibitors, together with the Formant Demo Zone. The Demo Zone will characteristic robots from Canvas, Clearpath Robotics, Burro, Discipline AI, and Slalom. 

On the present ground robotics engineers will discover industry-leading corporations reminiscent of Harmonic Drive, Kollmorgen, Sturdy AI, PickNik Robotics, Bota Techniques AG, Novanta, and extra. 

Moreover, guests ought to go to the Startup Showcase. Right here, you may get a take a look at cutting-edge expertise from corporations firstly of their robotics journey. The showcase will embrace demos from Dalus AI, Copper Robotics, Summer time Robotics, Open Droids, Inception Robotics, Robotics88, and dexman.ai. 

For the primary time at RoboBusiness, attendees can even try the Engineering Theater on the expo ground. On the second day of the present, the theater will characteristic talks from MathWorks, Future Bot Options, and Ati Motors. 

Convention Classes

The agenda options 5 tracks protecting design & growth, driving enterprise, enabling applied sciences, subject robotics, and innovation. On Day 2, at 1:30 PM, we’ll be internet hosting a Robotics Investments Tendencies panel. This session will deliver collectively buyers and roboticists to debate the challenges and alternatives of elevating cash in your robotics firm. This panel will talk about the present state of robotics investments, macro developments, how the panorama has modified, what purposes and applied sciences are discovering industrial success and extra.

The panel consists of Ivy Nguyen, a Principal Investor at Autotech Ventures; Schuyler Cullen, the co-founder and CEO at Summer time Robotics; Eric Truebenbach, the managing director at Teradyne Robotics Ventures; and Eugene Demaitre, the editorial director of Robotics at WTWH Media. 

The second day of the present may even characteristic talks from Utilized Engineering, Jacobi Robotics, Level One Navigation, Scythe Robotics, GITAI, PickNik Robotics, Ati Motors, Formant, Blue River Know-how, SKA Robotics, Tangram Imaginative and prescient, Outrider, Opteran, and Blue River Know-how.

Networking occasions

For the primary time at RoboBusiness, we’ll be internet hosting a Ladies In Robotics Lunch from 12:45 – 1:30 PM. Be a part of robotics {industry} friends for some priceless networking, engagement, and mentorship (and food and drinks, in fact). Attendees may even hear from Allison Thackston, a number one roboticist who’s fixing a number of the hardest issues in agtonomy at Blue River Know-how. Pre-registration is required.

We’ll even be holding a networking break to provide attendees a chance to observe up with audio system or different colleagues. This can happen at 12:45 PM.
