Historically confined to labs, humanoid robots are taking their first real-world steps as companies build humanoids for practical tasks. At October's RoboBusiness event in Santa Clara, CA, three experts will share insights into humanoid development and adoption.

The keynote panel includes Geordie Rose, CEO of Sanctuary, developing the bipedal Phoenix; Jeff Cardenas, CEO of Apptronik, creator of exoskeletons and the Astra humanoid; and Jonathan Hurst, CRO of Agility Robotics, maker of the commercially available Digit for logistics.

These pioneers will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing humanoid robotics. Attendees will gain firsthand perspectives on which industries are poised to adopt these advanced robots.

Beyond the keynote, RoboBusiness offers 60+ speakers, 100+ exhibitors and demos, networking and more. It is the premier event focused on commercializing robots.

The Pitchfire Startup Competition will also return, where robotics startups pitch to compete for a $5,000 first prize and feedback from investors.

Co-located events include the Field Robotics Engineering Forum, tackling development of outdoor autonomous robots, and DeviceTalks West, connecting medical technology professionals.

As humanoids transition out of research, events like RoboBusiness accelerate real-world deployment. The conference provides key insights from humanoid builders pioneering commercialization.

From healthcare to logistics, humanoids promise to automate an expanding range of tasks. RoboBusiness showcases the emerging ecosystem working to unleash their potential. Attendees will gain an inside look at the future of practical humanoid robots.

"At Agility, we make robots that are made for work. Our robot Digitworks alongside us in spaces designed for people. Digit handles the tedious and repetitive tasks meant for a machine, allowing companies and their people to focus on the work that requires the human element," company employees say.
