Safe and adaptive robotics: From research breakthrough to industrial reality.

RoboSAPIENS

How can autonomous robots safely adapt to unexpected situations while operating in real-world environments? 

As a result of the RoboSAPIENS research project, this webinar gives you clear, practical insights into this key challenge shaping the future of robotics.

By joining, you will discover the latest advances in safe and trustworthy robotic self-adaptation. Experts will translate cutting-edge research into accessible concepts, helping you understand how robots can operate reliably in dynamic and unpredictable conditions.

You can expect to:

  • Gain a clear understanding of how autonomous systems monitor and adjust their behaviour in real time
  • Learn how technologies such as anomaly detection and uncertainty quantification support safer robotic decision-making
  • Explore practical approaches to ensuring safety during robotic adaptation
  • Understand the relevance of these innovations for industrial robotics and manufacturing environments

All this will lead to a next generation of autonomous robotic systems that are able to adapt to unforeseen changes while maintaining safety and performance.
This webinar will provide an accessible overview of these developments and discuss their relevance for industrial robotics, manufacturing environments and real-world applications.

Hybrid session

This event will take place on 10th June 2026 at the University of Antwerp (Paardenmarkt 94, room s.O.130, Antwerpen) and will be organised as a hybrid session, allowing participants to join either in person or online.
