The robotics industry is gearing up for its most anticipated event of the year as registration opens for RoboBusiness 2024. Set to take place on October 16-17 in Santa Clara, California, this premier conference promises to be a hub of innovation, networking, and cutting-edge insights for commercial robotics developers and industry professionals.

Since its inception in 2004, RoboBusiness has established itself as the leading platform for robotics business development. The 2024 edition is poised to continue this legacy, bringing together the brightest minds in the field to explore the latest advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence.

Steve Crowe, chair of RoboBusiness and executive editor of The Robot Report, emphasizes the event's significance: "Our speakers, sponsors, and attendees will once again make RoboBusiness the venue for the global robotics ecosystem to come together, learn, and drive the industry forward."

The conference boasts an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, featuring industry luminaries and thought leaders. Attendees can look forward to presentations from Rodney Brooks, co-founder and CTO of Robust AI; Claire Delaunay, CTO of farm-ng; Sergey Levine, co-founder of Physical Intelligence and associate professor at UC Berkeley; and Torrey Smith, co-founder and CEO of Endiatx.

A highlight of the event will be the "Driving the Future of Robotics Innovation" panel, featuring John Bubnikovich, president of ABB Robotics US; Amit Goel, head of Robotics and Edge AI Ecosystem at NVIDIA; and Eric Truebenbach, managing director of Teradyne Robotics Ventures, among others yet to be announced.

The exhibition floor will showcase over 150 exhibitors, providing a comprehensive overview of the latest robotics technologies and solutions. New features for 2024 include a Robotics Startup Zone, offering a glimpse into emerging innovations, and an Engineering Theater for in-depth technical presentations.

Networking remains a crucial aspect of RoboBusiness, with several dedicated events planned. Attendees can participate in a welcome reception, a Women in Robotics Luncheon, and a networking reception, all designed to foster connections and collaborations within the industry.

Early bird registration is now open, with full conference passes starting at $595 and expo-only passes at $75 until August 18. The organizers are offering discounts for qualified academic, association, and corporate groups, underlining their commitment to making the event accessible to a broad range of professionals and researchers in the field.

Adding to the event's appeal is its co-location with DeviceTalks West, the premier gathering for medical technology professionals. This strategic pairing will create synergies between the robotics and medical technology sectors, particularly in the realm of surgical robotics.

As the robotics industry continues to evolve and expand its influence across various sectors, events like RoboBusiness play a crucial role in shaping the future of the field. By bringing together developers, researchers, investors, and end-users, the conference serves as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration.

The 2024 edition of RoboBusiness comes at a pivotal time for the industry. With advancements in AI, machine learning, and sensor technologies, robotics is poised to transform industries ranging from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and agriculture.
