SUMMARY:Forge Panel: The Demo Is Not the Product- What Robotics Companies Learn Too Late
DESCRIPTION:Robotics and embodied AI are advancing rapidly. AI systems can interpret data\, write code\, control complex systems\, and more every day! Yet building robots that work reliably in the physical world remains dependent on hardware and extremely difficult. \nThis panel will explore the gap between the promise of AI-powered robotics and the practical challenges of bringing robotic systems into real-world deployment.The discussion will highlight lessons from robotics startups\, product development leaders\, and ecosystem partners working at the intersection of AI\, robotics\, and manufacturing.
