Keynote

Keynote: Human-like intelligence in general purpose robots

A new class of robots - General Purpose Robots - will be able to provide autonomous labour for dangerous, difficult, dull, and distant work tasks. Cutting-edge AI combined with falling hardware costs is enabling us to build machines that are increasingly like us.

Presenter: Suzanne Gildert | Co-Founder & CTO, Sanctuary AI
Sanctuary is on a mission to create the world's first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots.
