What if robotics isn’t held back by technology—but by a lack of real-world applications?
Robotics legend Helen Greiner, co-founder of iRobot, explains why humanoids, home robots, and drone delivery are closer than ever—yet still struggling to break through. She reveals how AI vision is transforming robot capabilities, why regulation is slowing adoption, and which tasks robots will realistically take over in the next decade.
Watch now and discover what’s truly next in robotics.
