Join us for the 3rd annual RBR50 Gala, a celebration of the world’s leading robotics innovators. The evening will honor winners of Robot of the Year, Startup of the Year, Application of the Year, Robots for Good winners and more. Guests will enjoy dinner, drinks, and an exclusive fireside chat featuring Steve Crowe and Aaron Parness, Director of Applied Sciences at Amazon Robotics. The conversation will explore Amazon’s latest robot, Vulcan — named RBR50 Robot of the Year — and the keys to its development and rollout. Attendance is limited to RBR50 ticket holders. Gala access can be added during Robotics Summit registration.

In this powerful closing keynote, Noland Arbaugh shares what it means to become the first person to use a Neuralink brain-computer interface and how it has reshaped his independence, creativity, and connection to the world. This conversation explores not just how the technology works, but what it makes possible. With a live demonstration of neural control in action, attendees will witness the profound impact that precision robotics, advanced electronics, and AI can have on a person’s life.
