Prior to now 12 months, advances in synthetic intelligence dominated the information cycle. OpenAI’s Generate Pre-trained Transformer, or GPT 3.5, gained 100 million customers in simply two months. And whereas researchers and builders are already utilizing generative AI to allow robots to study difficult manipulation duties extra shortly, it’s not but clear how this expertise breakthrough can be utilized to robotics at scale. 

On the 2024 Robotics Summit & Expo, which can be on the Boston Conference & Exhibition Heart on Might 1 and a pair of, a panel will focus on the applying of enormous language fashions (LLMs) and text-generation purposes to robotics. The audio system will even discover how generative AI can profit robotics design, mannequin coaching, simulation, management, human-machine interplay, and extra.

Generative AI specialists to talk

The Robotics Summit & Expo panel will embody the next generative AI specialists:

• Sandra Skaff is senior alliances and ecosystem supervisor at NVIDIA. There, she leads robotics ecosystem growth and works with cross-functional groups to help companions and prospects in growing their merchandise utilizing NVIDIA’s Isaac platform. Earlier than this function, Skaff was the worldwide lead of educational analysis engagements together with the NVAIL program, the place she was accountable for setting technique and managing engagements with prime analysis labs within the areas of AI, robotics, and knowledge science.
• Juan Aparicio is the co-founder and CEO of Reshape Automation. He’s a robotics and automation fanatic on a mission to scale and democratize entry to robotics expertise in manufacturing and past. Throughout his profession, Aparicio has introduced collectively the worlds of commercial automation, robotics, and AI together with his work featured in The New York Occasions, MIT Tech Evaluation, Wired, Forbes, The Robotic Report, and different media retailers. Earlier than founding Reshape Automation, Aparicio labored at numerous robotics firms, together with Speedy Robotics, Prepared Robotics, and Siemens. 
• Russ Tedrake is the Toyota Professor of Electrical Engineering and Laptop Science, Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Mechanical Engineering at MIT, the director of the Heart for Robotics on the Laptop Science and Synthetic Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), and the chief of Crew MIT’s entry within the DARPA Robotics Problem. He’s additionally vp of Robotics Analysis on the Toyota Analysis Institute. Tedrake is the recipient of the 2021 Jamieson Instructing Award, the NSF CAREER Award, the MIT Jerome Saltzer Award for undergraduate educating, the DARPA Younger School Award in Arithmetic, and the 2012 Ruth and Joel Spira Instructing Award. He was named a Microsoft Analysis New School Fellow.

Greater than 5k builders to assemble at Robotics Summit

Since 2018, the Robotics Summit & Expo has turn out to be the world’s main robotics growth occasion. This 12 months, it would function keynotes from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Medtronic, and Teradyne and greater than 5,000 attendees from throughout the robotics ecosystem. 

The summit additionally affords quite a few technical periods and networking alternatives to present attendees alternatives to lean how one can develop the following technology of business robots. You may view the entire Robotics Summit agenda right here. Audio system are nonetheless being added.

As well as, the Robotics Summit & Expo will showcase greater than 200 exhibitors, in addition to a girls in robotics breakfast, a profession truthful, an engineering theater, a startup showcases, and extra!

New to the occasion is the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards Gala. The occasion will embody the prospect to listen to from the Robotic of the Yr, Startup of the Yr, and Software of the Yr winners. A restricted variety of tickets is accessible to summit attendees. 

The Robotics Summit & Expo can be co-located with DeviceTalks Boston, the premier trade occasion for medical expertise professionals. DeviceTalks attracts engineering and enterprise professionals from a broad vary of healthcare and medical expertise backgrounds.

It is going to even be co-located with the Digital Transformation Discussion board, an inaugural occasion designed to assist producers interact with trade leaders, expertise specialists, and friends who’re navigating the complexities of digital transformation. Members will achieve insights into methods, rising applied sciences, and greatest practices.

Registration is now open for the 2024 Robotics Summit & Expo. Register by March 8 to benefit from early-bird pricing.
