    Whether fixed in place or free to roam, driving in factories or flying through the skies, robots have become increasingly capable. They are now able to adapt, analyze, navigate, and execute complex missions - autonomy is becoming ‘solved’! But, with robotics and automation being rapidly transformed by new developments in AI, there is immense potential to unlock entirely new horizons in the field.
