Humanoid
Humanoid robots have captured the world’s attention, attracting billions in investment and generating excitement about the future. But beyond the viral videos and ambitious promises, where does the technology really stand? At RoboBusiness, which will take place on Oct. 20 and 21 in Santa Clara, Calif., humanoid robot experts will participate in the State of Humanoids panel.
During the keynote, industry leaders will examine the current state of humanoids through the lens of real-world deployment. The panel will include experts from Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Persona AI, and PSYONIC. Mike Oitzman, senior editor at The Robot Report, will moderate.
The discussion will explore the capabilities that humanoids are delivering today, the technical and operational challenges that remain, and the lessons emerging from early industrial implementations.
The panelists will address key topics including safety, standards, and economics. They will also describe the milestones that must be reached before humanoid robots can achieve widespread adoption across manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. Attendees will leave with a clear, practical understanding of where humanoids create value today and what it will take for the technology to scale.
Meet the experts in humanoid robots: Pras Velagapudi, chief technology officer at Agility, has decades of experience in robotics planning and control, as well as with creating and deploying robots into home, industrial, and outdoor environments. He most recently was a vice president of engineering and chief architect of mobile robotics at Berkshire Grey, where he helped deploy fleets of hundreds of robots in logistics applications.
