FREE Grand Opening Keynote
Robonaut and Future Assembly of the
 International Space Station

Tuesday, September 27, 9 to 10 a.m.
Jointly presented by Assembly Technology Expo and International Robots & Vision Show

Speaker: Michael Lutomski, Risk and Mission Assurance Manager, NASA International Space Station

Robonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA. The Robonaut project seeks to develop and demonstrate a robotic system that can function as an astronaut equivalent on spacewalks. Working side by side with humans, or going where the risks are too great for people, machines like Robonaut will expand our ability for construction and discovery. Come hear about the progress of this extraordinary effort that incorporates both robotics and machine vision technology in exciting new ways!


Spirit of Innovation Luncheon
Keynote Address by Dr. Yasuhiro Ota, Toyota
Wednesday, September 28, Noon to 1:30 p.m.

Toyota Motor Corp. has developed unique "Partner Robots" for use as personal assistants to humans. These robots have the ability to manipulate tools in an intelligent and gentle way and have many other human-like characteristics (including the ability to play musical instruments). Learn about why the project was started, current and future design concepts and possible applications in elder care, manufacturing, and human mobility.
