As robotics and intelligent systems evolve, the focus is shifting from pure automation to human-centric design—where technology enhances human capabilities, reduces effort, and improves overall well-being. From collaborative robots to wearable devices and smart systems, organizations are reimagining how humans and machines work together across industries.
This roundtable explores the next frontier of robotics, where sustainability, safety, and human–machine collaboration take center stage. How can technology become a true extension of human potential? What are the challenges in adapting robotic systems to human behavior? And where are the most promising real-world applications emerging?
Through concrete use cases and open discussion, participants will examine innovations in energy efficiency, smart logistics, and advanced applications across healthcare and defense. The session will also address critical challenges and opportunities for collaboration, from technology adoption to access to international funding and partnerships.
