Humans & Humanoids: Learning to Move Together
Humanoid robots can already dance. They perform at product launches and events around the world. Getting them to work a full shift on a factory floor is a different story. Tens of thousands of humanoids will come off production lines over the next year, but only a few hundred are expected to do regular industrial work.
The gap isn’t the robot’s moves. It’s trust. A factory needs to know a robot can work for hours next to people, on uneven floors, around unexpected obstacles, as conditions change from day to day. The real test isn’t the demo. It’s whether the robot finishes its shift and comes back for the next one.
Drive TLV, Next Gear Ventures and Reinhold Cohn invite you to a morning on what it takes to get from the stage to the factory floor, as part of DeepTech Week TLV.
Panel 1: The Steps That Make It Safe
Robots will mostly be built abroad, but the layer that makes them trustworthy can be built here. Israeli startups working on sensing, monitoring, validation and security share how they help plants understand what a robot is doing, recognize when conditions shift, and know when a human needs to step in.
On the panel:
Vered Levy-Ron, CEO, CorrActions
Shai Gepshtein, CEO & Co-Founder, Vocai
Morin Sarenio, CEO, AI Light
Assaf Hozzez, VP Product, Kardome
Keynotes by:
Tomer Agam, Senior Inception Partner Manager for Physical AI, NVIDIA
Guy Altagar, VP of Physical AI, The Israeli National AI Directorate | Prime Minister's Office
Founders, corporates, investors and engineers welcome. Networking to follow.
