If robots are to become useful tools for humanity, they need to understand the world around them. To do this, they need to be able to see.

Robots and humans will be working closer than ever in the not-too-distant future. Whether in private, commercial or industrial spaces, it’s imperative that robots understand where they are and what’s around them. Join this session as two industry experts discuss how they’re helping robots better see the world around them – and adapt to it.

“The one thing I’m certain of is that we’re entering a new age – the age of the spatially intelligent machine. That’s going to make the internet age look like just a bit of fun,” said Owen Nicholson, co-founder and CEO at SLAMcore.

“These machines are going to compete on their ability to understand space, and vision will be a crucial part of their ability to do that. It’s going to touch every part of industry, every individual in this room will be impacted by this technology.”

Ariyan Kabir, co-founder and CEO at GrayMatter Robotics, Maya Pindeus, founder at Humanising Autonomy and Owen Nicholson, co-founder and CEO at SLAMcore were in conversation with Pascale Davies, technology reporter at Euronews on the Talk/Robot stage at Web Summit 2022.
