Humanoid Safety Summit on November 13 at ARENA2036

The Humanoid Safety Summit at ARENA2036 brings together guests from industry and academia and focuses on technological solutions, methods, and best practices for integrating humanoid robotics safely and reliably into industrial applications. In addition to providing expert insights, the summit offers a platform for exchange among research, industry, and standards organizations, and promotes networking within the international humanoid community.

Program

  • Keynote speeches by international experts
  • Insights from Industry and Research
  • Networking

The combination of international standardization work and an open technical conference creates a unique setting for actively shaping the future of safe humanoid robotics. While the ISO working group develops the foundations for future safety standards, the Humanoid Safety Summit offers insights into current technological developments and fosters dialogue among key stakeholders from research, industry, and standardization.
