The One About AI x Robotics
Ready to look beyond the robot dance videos? Join us for to explore what it takes to build robots that actually work. From humanoid robots to mobile navigation systems, come examine the engineering challenges, practical limitations, and breakthrough moments that define robotics today.
More About the Sharings
Jasshan (Hardware Engineer, Menlo Research) will share the story behind why they decapitated their humanoid robot. While humanoid robots like the Unitree G1 have captured attention in the recent months with viral videos of dancing, boxing, and running, the reality of getting these machines to do actual work is far more complex. Hear more about the practical challenges and open questions facing humanoid robotics today, examining what it really takes to move from impressive demonstrations to robots that can meaningfully contribute alongside humans in real-world environments. (Technical Level: 100)
Zhonghuan (Head of Engineering, KLASS) will be sharing more about waypoint navigation for mobile robots. From autonomous driving to delivery robots, navigation capability is the foundation for every mobile robot application. (Technical Level: 200)
