Autonomous humanoid robots promise to efficiently execute a broad range of functions serving human needs – but this vision demands highly advanced sensing capabilities to perceive, navigate, and function within dynamic environments. Some sensing solutions are now ready for design-ins, while other challenges are yet to be solved.
This session explores:
Sensing solutions enabling today's humanoid innovations
Where breakthroughs are needed for exponential growth
The critical question: how do we give humanoids the awareness needed to operate safely alongside humans?
