Registration for OnRobot Expo – a global, interactive digital robotics event focused on collaborative automation and applications – is now open.

To be held online next Thursday, December 3 2020 the OnRobot Expo will feature presentations from international robotics experts including Dr Sue Keay, CEO of Queensland AI Hub.

Dr Keay will discuss automation trends in Australia.

Other keynote speakers include Camilo Buscaron, Amazon Web Service’s Head of Cloud Robotics Open Source Technology & Strategy and James Taylor, OnRobot General Manager for Asia-Pacific. Mr Taylor will explain how collaborative automation can boost industries and the workforce in the APAC region.

A panel discussion about collaborative automation will be held with robotics investor and Shark Tank creator, Mark Cuban.

There will also be a session on collaborative applications from Ben Ong, Senior Sales Manager, Servo Dynamics, an industrial automation solutions provider for Asia.

Visitors will be treated to 11 expert-led 30-minute presentations on a broad range of topics.

They include sessions on lean manufacturing, human-robot collaboration and an intelligent force sensor solution for collaborative applications.

Manufacturers will learn how to break down barriers to vision system adoption.

‘How-To’ sessions

OnRobot Expo will also deliver demonstrations of OnRobot’s expanding range of robotic components – from grippers to polishing solutions.

Attendees will be shown how to implement and get the most out of their robotics investment.

Special attention will be given to collaborative applications in metal and metalworking, packaging, food processing, plastics, pharmaceuticals and logistics.

“Manufacturers of all sizes are facing serious challenges in 2020 and, as a result, many are turning to collaborative applications to stay competitive and resilient,” says Enrico Krog Iversen, CEO of OnRobot. 

“We created OnRobot Expo to help manufacturers learn about collaborative applications and automation from their manufacturing peers and thought leaders from business and academia.

“The OnRobot Expo is a unique opportunity for manufacturers to meet with product experts and learn exactly how they could benefit from flexible and easy-to use automation solutions.”

Using the cloud for robotics applications

In his keynote address on how Amazon develops, tests and deploys robots, Camilo Buscaron will discuss how the cloud simplifies the development and deployment of robotics applications. He will talk about the Robot Operating System (ROS) and AWS RoboMaker, a cloud service that helps customers build, simulate and manage robotic applications.

Entrepreneur and robotics investor Mark Cuban will join with OnRobot CEO, Enrico Krog Iversen and the CEO of Hirebotics, Rob Goldiez in a pre-recorded panel discussion.

The panel will discuss the importance of collaborative applications in the future of manufacturing for small-to-medium size companies.

The OnRobot Expo will be held from 9.30am-4.45pm (Singapore time) and 12.30 pm-7.45 pm (AEST).
