Robotics Events

Please join us on Tuesday October 30, 2012 to discuss the formation of a cross-industry group to speed the mainstream adoption of robotics technology.

The Midwest is particularly suited to seize the lead in the development and deployment of robotic and autonomous vehicle technology. This meeting will identify current gaps in technology and deployment barriers which need to be overcame to increase availability and acceptance of robotics in everyday life.
