We bring people together to explore how humans and intelligent systems can coexist in the physical world.
#2 Physical I/O: Robotics
Love, Mind + Body
How do we want to live alongside intelligent machines?
Our theme is Love, Mind + Body: how we connect with machines, how they learn, and what happens when they meet the physical world.
Join us for an evening of robotics, research and conversation. We’ll explore how machines perceive, move and respond to us, and what designers, engineers and researchers can learn from one another.
