First Workshop on Assistive Robotics in Switzerland
We invite you to join a focused workshop bringing together experts from research, industry, and policy to explore the Swiss landscape of Assistive Robotics. We will discuss robotic technologies that directly support people in their daily lives and are designed for long-term use, with a strong emphasis on solutions already on the market or at the verge of transitioning out of a pure research environment into user’s daily lives. The goal is to connect the key players in Switzerland and spark exchange on what is technically feasible, socially desirable, currently deployed, and truly aligned with end-user needs, as well as the related challenges.
