Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technology into robotics provides exciting new opportunities and applications.

About this event

By sensing and adapting to surroundings (using AI methods), robots can navigate through complex environments and even learn new tasks. This event explores recent advancements in the integration of AI and Robotics to demonstrate the growing capabilities of both technologies.

This special Adelaide AI event will take place on Thursday 12th September 2019 from 4pm until 8.15pm and provides an opportunity to hear from world-class experts in the field of emerging technology and robotics.

AiLab (Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) are proud to present this event and to also partner with the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML): University of Adelaide as co-main sponsors. This event is also sponsored and supported by the City of Adelaide and the Adelaide Artificial Intelligence meetup. Huge thanks to everyone for making this event possible.
