Robotics: Shaping the Future with Intelligence and Connectivity

This joint event, hosted by the CW Future Devices & Technologies Group and the CW Academic & Industry Group, brings together experts from academia, industry, and research to explore the latest advancements and future potential of robotics.

From revolutionising healthcare to transforming industries, robots are no longer a concept of the future—they are here, evolving rapidly and integrating into every aspect of our lives. Whether enhancing precision in surgery, assisting in daily tasks, or collaborating with humans in industrial settings, robotics is redefining what’s possible.

This joint event, hosted by the CW Future Devices & Technologies Group and the CW Academic & Industry Group, brings together experts from academia, industry, and research to explore the latest advancements and future potential of robotics.

Key themes include:

  • Medical Robotics: How robotic systems are revolutionising surgery, rehabilitation, and patient care.
  • Future Robotics: Exploring cutting-edge developments in autonomy, AI, and human-robot interaction.
  • Academia’s Role: The latest research driving robotics innovation and real-world applications.
  • Wireless as an Enabler: The critical role of connectivity in providing robust and reliable communication, real-time data exchange and remote operations capabilities. .
  • Next-Gen Robotics & Next-Gen Connectivity: How future communication technologies will shape the evolution of robotics.

Join us as we explore the connection of AI, sensing, connectivity, and human collaboration, discussing both the breakthroughs and the challenges that will define the next generation of robotics.
