Amazing speakers, even better networking opportunities. Will I see you there? You can tell how hot robotics is getting by the number of events on the calendar, but you can tell who’s moving the needle by the quality of the event. I thought Actuate from Foxglove was a high water mark, but the new Long…

That turns out to be conditional on how close to existing products your robot or autonomous vehicle is, and how capable you are of building, or partnering with, the necessary servicing and support infrastructure. No robot build or use case is identical to another. It is always great…

Introducing an open-source project that might just save your life. Or a few fingers. Our survival skills generally keep us away from heavy vehicles, but these days we tend to flock around those dancing robots. Polymath Robotics CTO Ilia Baranov is bringing safety systems from critical industrial scenarios, and making them open-source and accessible for…
