It was an intensive exchange between the players in the robotics ecosystem from science, business and politics. The aim of the conference was to increase Germany's and Europe's competitiveness in the field of AI-based robotics and to strengthen responsibility in this field of technology.
On-site competition
A special highlight of the conference was the start-up competition, in which the audience - both on site and via live broadcast - could vote for the winner. A total of nine people took part in the competition, and Oliver Hausdörfer received the most votes for his research contribution. His project focused on the self-learning and bio-inspired control of multi-segment robots.
In the start-up competition, a jury selected the best work from the six participating companies. First place went to Cristian Amya from ConBotics GmbH for his dyer robot, which can independently paint walls.
