In this panel, QNX and industry leaders will share how they architect performance across control, perception, and networking, and how certified processes can compress time to market for safety-relevant systems. The panel will cover practical trade-offs when combining ROS 2 with hard real-time workloads. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns for building and validating reliable robotic systems. More speakers to be added to this panel.
The robotics industry is at an inflection point of opportunity, but continued growth relies on more than just novelty and excitement about advanced technology. Real impact will depend on robots being worthy of trust and adoption into environments with incredibly high bars for safety, uptime, performance, and results. Mikell draws on her experience at startups developing technology for customers big and small, as well as experience in leadership roles at companies like General Motors and Amazon, to urge the industry to focus on areas of robotics that can unlock exponential growth while avoiding stagnation in “pilot purgatory.”
In this keynote panel, leaders from Agility Robotics, ASTM International, Boston Dynamics and RealSense will cut through the hype to examine what humanoids can realistically accomplish in factories and warehouses today. The discussion will explore current capabilities, technical and operational challenges, safety and standards considerations, and key lessons learned from early deployments and testing. Attendees will gain a grounded understanding of where humanoids are delivering value now and what must improve for broader industrial adoption.
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.
