Are you a researcher, company or startup working on robotics in agriculture or health? Join us on November 28th at the DesignLab in Enschede for the AI in Robotics event, where we will focus on cross-sector innovation of AI in healthcare and agricultural robotics. This event will explore how innovations in one field can inspire breakthroughs in the other, while also addressing the societal impact and acceptance of robotics.
Cross-Sector Innovation
How can precision farming benefit from the advancements in surgical robotics? What challenges must we overcome to achieve societal acceptance of AI in robotics? And how can we collaborate to address critical issues in both healthcare and agriculture?
Join us at the AI in Robotics event, where pioneers from research and industry will inspire and challenge you to think differently. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the synergies between healthcare and agricultural robotics in the context of AI implementation. Experience live demonstrations of cutting-edge innovations, be inspired by presentations from leading experts, and engage in roundtable discussions that tackle the challenges and societal impact of AI in robotics. Whether you’re looking to learn, collaborate, or innovate, this event is your gateway to the future of AI-driven robotics.
