RoboBusiness, produced by The Robotic Report, kicks off at the moment on the Santa Clara Conference Heart. The 2-day occasion will deliver collectively greater than 60 audio system, over 100 exhibitors and demos on the expo flooring, 10+ hours of devoted networking time, the Pitchfire Robotics Startup Competitors, a Girls in Robotics Luncheon, and extra.
The present will give attention to the technical challenges of constructing industrial robots and the enterprise challenges of operating a robotics firm. Right here’s a breakdown of what to anticipate on Day 1. You possibly can nonetheless register for the occasion.
Keynotes
Opening Keynote: New Ranges of Collaboration in Robotics
Time: 9:30 AM- 10:15 AM
Location: Theater
Speaker: Rodney Brooks, the co-founder and CTO of Sturdy AI
Collaborative robots have been round for over a decade and are broadly adopted in lots of industries. Thus far, nevertheless, the phrase collaborative has not carried a variety of weight; principally amounting to “don’t hit the individuals.”
We are able to do higher. The way forward for automation is determined by next-level collaboration between people and machines.
Sturdy.AI CTO and co-founder Rodney Brooks will describe the approaching future the place individuals keep their very own company whereas collaborating with robots every contributing to the identical job, and round those self same robots which may be engaged on a job autonomously. Collaboration and autonomy can improve and empower people, with out compromising on flexibility, reliability or security.
Keynote Panel: Driving the Way forward for Robotics Innovation
Time: 10:30 AM- 11:15 AM
Location: Theater
Speaker: Joan-Wilhelm Schwarze, the senior international innovation supervisor of the Heart of Excellence Automation of Operations at DHL; John Bubnikovich, the president of ABB Robotics US; Eric Truebenbach, the managing director at Teradyne Robotics Ventures; Eugene Demaitre the editorial director of Robotics at WTWH Media; Amit Goel the pinnacle of Robotics and Edge AI Ecosystem at NVIDIA; and Mike Oitzman an editor of robotics at WTWH Media
This keynote panel will discover how collaborative efforts and technological developments are driving the way forward for robotics innovation. The panelists may also speak in regards to the challenges and alternatives the {industry} faces and the potential affect new applied sciences resembling generative AI and humanoid robots might have on a number of industries.
Expo Corridor
The exhibit corridor will likely be open from 10:00 AM till 5:00 PM. It options over 100 exhibitors, together with the Formant Demo Zone. The Demo Zone will characteristic robots from Canvas, Clearpath Robotics, Burro, Area AI, and Slalom.
On the present flooring robotics engineers will discover industry-leading corporations resembling 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 know-how from corporations initially 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 may take a look at the Engineering Theater on the expo flooring. On the primary day of the present, the theater will characteristic talks from VitalPath, Adromeda Surgical, Everight Place, Geisel Software program, Formant, Bomello, and Bota Techniques.
Convention Classes
The agenda options 5 tracks protecting design & growth, driving enterprise, enabling applied sciences, subject robotics, and innovation. On Day 1, attendees can stay up for the Robotics Startup Bootcamp. This favourite at RoboBusiness is break up into two components, the primary beginning at 11:45 AM and the second beginning at 1:45 PM. Throughout these periods, hosted by the MassRobotics accelerator, a panel of robotics consultants will share greatest practices for lots of the widespread challenges that make or break an organization.
One other favourite of the present is the Pitchfire Startup Competitors, which will likely be held from 4:00 – 4:45 PM. Throughout this session, the {industry}’s robotics startups compete within the RoboBusiness Pitchfire Competitors for a $5,000 first-place prize and everlasting bragging rights. Every startup delivers a 5-minute ‘pitch’ to a panel of judges describing their resolution, enterprise mannequin, worth proposition and extra. Judges choose a winner and two runners-up based mostly on the startup they imagine to be greatest primed for industrial success.
The primary day of the present may also characteristic talks from Shadow Robotic Firm, Calibrate Ventures, FarmWise, Harmonic Drive, Calian, VitalPath, Andromeda Surgical, Everight Place, Future Bot Options, Adagy Robotics, ULC Applied sciences, Bishop-Wisecarver, Forcen, Burro, Formant, Bomello, Bota Techniques, and extra.
Networking occasions
We’ll finish Day 1 of RoboBusiness with a Networking Reception from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Attendees can combine and mingle with robotics colleagues from all over the world. Sponsored by Harmonic Drive, this reception is open to all full convention move holders, audio system, and sponsors. Pre-registration is required. Will probably be held on the 2nd flooring pre-function and terrace.
We’ll even be holding three networking breaks all through the day, to present attendees a chance to comply with up with audio system or different colleagues. These will happen at 10:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and three:30 PM.
