The 2-day occasion will convey 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 concentrate on funding and enterprise matters associated to working a robotics firm.
The present focuses on the technical challenges of constructing business robots and the enterprise challenges of working a robotics firm. Right here’s a breakdown of what to anticipate on Day 2. You may nonetheless register for the occasion.
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 focus on how basis fashions for end-to-end management of robotic methods will be constructed, how we are able to collect massive and various datasets for such methods, 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 focus on 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 Tablet
Time: 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Location: Theater
