Ilia Baranov, Co-Founder and CEO of Polymath Robotics, will share war stories and strategies to launch a small robotics effort as a SaaS-focused company. He will discuss what Polymath Robotics has built so far, where it is going, what is going on in the funding market, and where the larger community is moving.
Mechatronic assemblies are tasked with ever-higher payloads and faster-operating specifications in more compact and lighter form factors. This presentation will provide technical insights to motor design considerations to improve robotic system thermal dynamics and efficiency. It will offer insights into designing high-performance systems that also conscientiously consider size, weight, and cost factors.
This presentation will address some critical engineering considerations when evaluating the robotic system design and ultimately the performance specs and operating life of their robots:
– Technical formulas behind motor performance
– Primary causes of heat losses seen in motor design and their trade-offs
– How optimized motor design improves heat management in robotic system designs
In 2024, $4.5B has been invested in robotics YTD, and currently trending toward ~$2.5B/quarter. It might look like there’s been a bounce-back from 2023, in which robotics received $7.5B in VC funding for the full year. However, a lot of the $4.5B in 2024 was driven by Figure ($675M) and Wayve ($1B). To some extent, companies are leveraging modern AI are still hot and those that aren’t are facing lots of headwinds.
This presentation will provide insight and analysis on how investor sentiment has evolved from enthusiastic to cautious, where investors were investing, where investors are investing now and what this means for the future funding of robotics companies.
Join our panel discussion as experts delve into the complex challenges of developing robust outdoor robots, exploring issues from environmental adaptability to navigation in unpredictable terrains, connectivity and more.
In the rapidly evolving world of robotics, data has emerged as a driving force behind innovation and success. This talk explores how to harness the power of robotics data to unlock actionable insights into your robots. We will discuss the fundamental types of data that are generated by robots, how the representation of that data can strengthen its meaning, how to generate insights into that data using analytics, among other topics. Rather you are an engineer or an executive, you will walk away from this talk with a deeper understanding of the importance of data, and how data can shape the way you operate your business.
In industries where complex hardware and rapid iteration are key, effective product lifecycle management (PLM) is essential to staying competitive. This presentation will explore how cloud-based PLM solutions streamline processes, improve collaboration, and accelerate time to market across sectors like robotics and medical devices. As an innovator in this space, Bomello will share insights on how companies can enhance their workflows, reduce costly errors, and drive faster innovation. Join us to learn about the future of PLM and its transformative impact on hardware development!

The industry’s hottest robotics startups compete in the RoboBusiness Pitchfire Competition for a $5,000 first-place prize and eternal bragging rights. Each startup delivers a 5-minute ‘pitch’ to a panel of judges describing their solution, business model, value proposition and more. Judges pick a winner and two runners-up based on the startup they believe to be best primed for commercial success. Participating startups receive invaluable feedback from investors, can network with industry leaders, and will appear on The Robot Report Podcast.
Vision technology is very advanced nowadays and has been addressed in detail in the past. With the help of AI and its advancement, the feedback from vision has enabled robots to be able to recognize any objects’ shape, location in space and convert it to useful information and act “smart” when in manipulation.
