RoboSAPIENS: What changed, what’s next?

After three years of research into safe and trustworthy robotic self-adaptation, what has actually changed?

Join the RoboSAPIENS consortium for an interactive retrospective exploring the advances, lessons learned and challenges that remain. Through real examples and open discussions, researchers and industry partners will reflect on how the project has advanced uncertainty management, safety, verification, real-world robotic applications and our understanding of human–robot interaction. This event is a hybrid event, you may connect online or join us onsite.
