Physical AI & Mobile Robotics - Beyond the hype
Physical AI & Mobile Robotics - Beyond the hype
Programming a robot for a million identical cycles is straightforward. The real challenge lies in the "High-Mix, Low-Volume" world—programming robots to handle tasks that change constantly. Achieving this while maintaining cost-efficiency, speed, accuracy, and safety—all without needing a PhD in robotics—is the final frontier of automation. Because of these complexities, many "Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous" tasks are still manual today.
Flanders Make helps companies to close this gap and robotize the "un-automatable" leveraging the latest breakthroughs in physical AI and mobile robotics to bring flexibility to the factory floor. We invite manufacturing companies, technology providers, and system integrators to join us for an afternoon dedicated to solving the toughest robotization hurdles.
