SUMMARY:Panel 5 - “Robots for All” in a Fragmented World: Competing Global Visions and Shared Futures from Europe\, Asia\, and the United States
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: \nSteve Donswell\, Director Gemini Communicating for Business Ltd \n  \nParticipants/Speakers: \nFrancesco Ferro\, President euRobotics and Founder and CEO of Pal Robotics\nOussama Khatib\, Professor of robotics at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Robotics Center \n\nDescription: \nIn today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape\, AI-powered robotics has emerged as a strategic priority for governments\, industries and societies worldwide. Robotics is no longer viewed solely as a field of scientific and technological progress; it is now a driver to economic competitiveness\, industrial sovereignty and societal transformation. \nUnder ICRA 2026’s central theme “Robots for All”\, this panel will provide a unique global perspective on how robotics is being shaped\, and is shaping\, the world across three major innovation ecosystems: Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. \nEach region has developed distinct approaches\, priorities\, and visions\, influenced by its economic structure\, political context\, cultural values\, and societal expectations. At the same time\, robotics remains a deeply international scientific field.  \nBy exploring specificities\, convergences between these ecosystems\, the panel will highlight the respective strengths\, challenges and strategic priorities and will contribute to mutual understanding and inspiring future collaborations that will help to foster dialogue across continents and shape the future of robotics in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Panel 6 - Impact and Financial Return on Humanoid Investment
DESCRIPTION:Moderator/Speakers:\nLuis Sentis\, The University of Texas at Austin\nAndra Keay\, Silicon Valley Robotics \nDescription:\nAs agile\, bipedal robots step out of the lab and rapidly conquer industrial terrain\,\nthey invite us to rethink the very nature of work and daily life.\nDispelling the lump-of-labor fallacy\, cognitive humanoids tap into the elasticity of\ndemand and infinite human wants. By lowering unit costs\, they serve as universal\nskill-levers\, augmenting workers\, filling staggering global labor shortages\, and\ndriving a projected $1 trillion market by 2035. Humanoid technology will unlock a\nprofound wishlist for our homes\, transforming from factory tools into everyday\ncollaborators.\nThe panel will explore the technological milestones ahead and the tangible ROI\nhumanoids promise for individuals\, SMEs\, and global corporations.
