    AI is driving rapid progress in robotics. Skills that were once out of reach for machines, like walking on uneven ground, using hands with precision, or making decisions without constant human input, are now becoming possible.

     

    In this keynote, I will talk about how AI is opening new markets for robots and highlight research projects that are changing how we think about what robots can do. There is more funding, more research, and more momentum in robotics than ever before. We are entering a new era where robots are not just impressive, they are becoming useful. The long-term vision of general-purpose robots is no longer just a dream. It’s starting to take shape. Robotics is becoming more autonomous, accessible and skillful, than ever.
