At best, this results in severely under leveraging the full functionality of a chosen communication/networking methods. At worse, the limitations of a chosen method of communication and networking restricts a project to the point of having to be abandoned, wasting labor and resources. leveraging the expertise that trusted third party partners have on methods of communication and networking is one way to make better and more informed decisions.

While they originated in the video game industry, they have been steadily gaining popularity in robotics over the past several years. In contrast to other widely used approaches such as finite-state machines, behavior trees offer several benefits in the structure they enforce, including a relatively concise standard modeling language, ease of modification and extension, and verification guarantees. This presentation will begin with an introduction to behavior trees, which covers the formalism, basic mechanics, and common idioms for robotics applications. We will then contrast behavior trees with alternative approaches and detail the main software packages and resources available for getting started. Finally, we will present some lessons learned from experience applying behavior trees in various robotics projects, spanning a range of application areas and academic versus commercial uses.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Development</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">257A</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder engineering-theatre "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5447"><div class="session_speaker_thumb"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/dan-friel-150x150.jpg" alt="Dan Friel"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">2:45 PM - 3:15 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>Power in Motion: Exploring Portable Power Solutions for Mobile Robots</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/dan-friel/">Dan Friel</a></strong> Battery Systems Specialist | VARTA</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5447" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">Join us for a demonstration showcasing various portable power solutions for mobile robots!

Conventionally, an MRI of a patient guides a thorough pre-operative planning effort, and at the time of surgery that plan is registered to the patient. However, the inherent mobility of soft tissue targets during surgery poses a significant challenge, rendering intra-operative imaging ‘stale’ and potentially unknowingly compromising the alignment of instruments with respect to the actual anatomical locations.<br><br> This presentation addresses this critical issue by exploring the potential of intra-operative MRI to actively track soft tissue targets and instruments in real-time. The incorporation of traditional robotic systems into the MRI environment has historically been challenging, limiting the feasibility of this approach. The talk will delve into innovative solutions devised to ensure precision motion safely within the MRI scanner without compromising image quality. By overcoming these challenges, a new era of “closed loop medicine” emerges, wherein instrumentation, anatomical targets, and other structures are dynamically tracked, allowing for interactive optimization of motion planning and instrument delivery.<br><br> Compelling case studies will be presented, including an MRI-compatible cooperative surgical robot designed for image-guided prostate biopsy that autonomously steers the needle tip based on live imaging, accommodating unmodeled motion and enhancing the accuracy of the procedure. Additionally, the talk will showcase an MRI-compatible stereotactic neurosurgery robot capable of accounting for brain shift during surgery and facilitating precise delivery of neurostimulation leads, drug delivery catheters, and needle-based ablation instruments for conformal brain tumor ablation, leveraging real-time MR thermometry.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Healthcare Robotics</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">51</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder automated-warehouse "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5063"><div class="session_speaker_thumb"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/alexander-muhlens-150x150.jpg" alt="Alexander Mühlens"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">2:45 PM - 3:30 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>Automate Your Factory for $2,799</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/alexander-muhlens/">Alexander Mühlens</a></strong> Head of Low-Cost Automation | igus</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5063" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">The robot revolution won’t happen if everyone needs engineering degrees to install, operate, and service them.

With this tactile feedback, the gripper will never grip too hard and break an item, nor will it grip insufficiently and drop an object. The gripper doesn’t even need prior knowledge of the object’s size, shape, weight, or packaging. The tactile sensors also enable complex robotic manipulation such as turning a handle and opening a door or inserting a USB cable. These tactile sensors could be the difference between a robot with the dexterity of a skilled person and a robot that is all thumbs.

He proposed imitating the human mind and envisioned a symbolic approach. Today, AI has followed a different path, relying on vast datasets and compute in an attempt to brute-force cognition. This approach is based on a loose understanding of the brain, but does it represent the end point for machine thought or a stop on the journey? In this talk, Prof. James Marshall will propose that the structural limitations of deep learning and technologies such as SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) prevent them from robustly solving the problem of "thinking" in a way that would satisfy Turing. Far from being "all about scale," standard approaches are already presenting diminishing returns, he said. Marshall will present an alternative approach, based on understanding whole-brain function, not of humans to begin with, but simple organisms such as insects. He will explore how solving the problem of ‘solving’ thinking most likely has its roots in solving the problem of moving autonomously in the world. In addition, Marshall will tie theory with practice by showing the short-term payoff of this approach: substantially more efficient and robust autonomy for robots in the real world.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Enabling Technologies</div><div class="session_title_item">Engineering Theater</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">Engineering Theater on Expo Floor</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder ai "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5079"><div class="session_speaker_thumb "><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/sandra-skaff-500x500-1-150x150.jpg" alt="Sandra Skaff"/><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/juan-aparicio-150x150.jpg" alt="Juan Aparicio"/><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/russ-tedrake-150x150.jpg" alt="Russ Tedrake"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">11:30 AM - 12:15 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>Generative AI's Impact on Robotics</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/sandra-skaff/">Sandra Skaff</a></strong> Senior Alliances and Ecosystem Manager | NVIDIA, <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/juan-aparicio/">Juan Aparicio</a></strong> Co-Founder & CEO | Reshape Automation, <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/russ-tedrake/">Russ Tedrake</a></strong> Toyota Professor of EECS, Aero/Astro, MechE | MIT & VP, Robotics Research | Toyota Research Institute, <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/mike-oitzman/">Mike Oitzman</a></strong> Editor - Robotics | WTWH Media</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5079" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">Generative AI is revolutionizing the software industry, but how can this breakthrough be applied to robotics?

However, users are faced with the issue of sending the trajectory information in a reliable, deterministic way. Software libraries that handle the low-level EtherCAT and CANopen communications can bridge the gap between the controller and the drive, simplifying the overall development of complex motion control applications. If the method of trajectory transmission is unreliable, undesired behavior may occur, such as choppy motion, damaged payloads, and error conditions. The DS402 Protocol for Motion Control has defined Interpolated Position Mode as a means of standardizing the control of multiple coordinated axes through the transmission of synchronization (SYNC) pulses and process data objects (PDO’s). High-resolution trajectories result in high data rates that must be handled by both the controller and drive. Some controllers use real-time operating systems to deal with the high data rates. Another approach utilizes data buffers in the firmware of both the controller and drive to provide forgiveness for controller latency. In either case, engineers designing robotic systems will find that low-level software to process the data is necessary to achieve reliable, high performance motion control. Processing libraries such as the Copley Motion Library (CML) provide easy implementation that integrates seamlessly with the MoveIt2 API and utilizes the DS402 Protocol to deliver smooth, synchronous motion over the CANopen or EtherCAT networks.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Enabling Technologies</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">257A</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder development "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5081"><div class="session_speaker_thumb"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/tobias-wellerdieck-150x150.jpg" alt="Tobias Wellerdieck"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">11:30 AM - 12:15 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>Holistic Drive System Optimization for Robotics</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/tobias-wellerdieck/">Tobias Wellerdieck</a></strong> Head of Robotic Drive Systems | maxon</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5081" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">The need for increased productivity and lower cost are driving the growth of robotics in various industries. In the past the push for robotic automation was mostly constrained to industries with well-defined challenges in controlled environments such as manufacturing industry and automated logistics. The nature of the applications allows for straightforward, top-down optimization of the robotic application and its subsystems. Although being complex in nature, the resulting requirements for drive systems are often defined as part of a portfolio. The customer selects the appropriate drive solution in terms of cost, efficiency, power, precision, etc. Today, robotics is entering new markets with weakly defined problem sets and a broad spectrum of possible environment conditions. Examples of this trend are mobile robots in inspection and agriculture, collaborative robots and medical robots for assisted living and rehabilitation. Developing solutions for these applications leads to multi-objective optimization problems with higher complexity compared to classical applications. Top-down optimization approaches are rendered obsolete because of increasingly important two-way interactions across system layers. Robotic system developers and drive system suppliers benefit from close cooperation to achieve the holistic optimization of the application including its drive system. This contribution outlines the challenges of novel robotic applications and shows how drive systems as a sub-system are impacted. Our approach of integrating component and robotic application models into a single, holistic drive system optimization methodology is shown in detail. A focus is put on how the cooperation of system integrator and sub-system supplier is changing with our approach. Lastly, we provide insight into how the development of classical applications also benefits from the holistic optimization methodology.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Development</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">256</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder automated-warehouse "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5083"><div class="session_speaker_thumb"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/etienne-lacroix-150x150.jpg" alt="Etienne Lacroix"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">11:30 AM - 12:15 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>How Cloud Robotics Unlocks Industrial Automation for SMMs</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/etienne-lacroix/">Etienne Lacroix</a></strong> Founder & CEO | Vention</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5083" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">Small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) represent 98.6% of manufacturing businesses in the United States. Despite their critical role in the economy, SMMs encounter challenges in adopting traditional automation methods due to barriers to entry, rising inflation costs, and labor shortages. In this session, Etienne Lacroix will explore how cloud robotics offers a transformative solution, leveling the playing field for SMMs seeking access to automation technology.

In these semi-structured and unstructured environments, the technical challenges of reliably applying robot arms are much greater. But the need is enormous. This talk will highlight how PickNik has been using advanced software approaches to lead the robotics industry in applying manipulation and grasping to some of the toughest challenges. From farm fields to ghost kitchens, subsea to outer space, we will discuss our strategies to leverage modern software (including ROS) to make robotic arm hardware more intelligent.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Development</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">257A</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder healthcare-robotics "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5461"><div class="session_speaker_thumb"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Brian-Miller-500x500-1-150x150.jpg" alt="Brian Miller"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">2:30 PM - 3:15 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>Telesurgery is Closer Than You Think</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/brian-miller/">Brian Miller</a></strong> EVP, Chief Digital Officer | Intuitive</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5461" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">The technology to do remote surgery is here today.

These engineers had a shared toolbox to bootstrap their robot projects or research. They could start working on a robot and immediately solve real-world problems. ROS 2 addressed architectural problems that made it difficult to turn an R&D robot into a viable product. ROS 2 can scale up or scale down to meet the needs of the specific robot product. Safety is always a concern with robotics. In the past, robots were placed in work cells to operate safely away from humans. Industries with safety and risk concerns have created versions of ROS that allow systems to be more easily certified safe for use. Some examples are Apex.OS (automotive self-driving car safety standard 26262) and Space ROS (aerospace safety standards DO-178C and NPR7150.2D). ROS is not currently the de facto standard for surgical robotics and robotics in medical devices, but maybe it should be. In this presentation, we will explore the potential benefits from a version of ROS that is tailored to address the standards needed for the medical device industry, such as IEC 62304 and ISO 60601.This presentation will identify the possible features a medical ROS would support and compare potential benefits to actual benefits reported by users of Apex.OS and Space ROS. We will examine all possible paths that we as an industry can take to achieve a medical certifiable ROS, ensuring its success and sustainability to maximize industry-wide advantages.</div><div class="session_title_list"><span class="ti-bookmark"></span><div class="session_title_item">Healthcare Robotics</div></div><div class="session_location themeborder"><div class="session_location_label skin_color">Where</div><div class="session_location_content">51</div></div></div><br class="clear"/></div></li><li class="themeborder development "><div class="session_content_wrapper expandable" data-expandid="excerpt_5092"><div class="session_speaker_thumb "><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Nag-Murty-new-1-e1709230771812-150x150.png" alt="Nag Murty"/><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/oliver-mitchell-500x500-Steve-Crowe-150x150.jpg" alt="Oliver Mitchell"/><img decoding="async" src="https://www.roboticssummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Fiona-ODonnell-McCarthy_May-2021_1-Steve-Crowe-150x150.jpg" alt="Fiona O’Donnell McCarthy"/></div><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_start_time">2:30 PM - 3:15 PM</div><div class="session_title"><h6>Startup Survival Guide to Lean Times</h6></div><div class="session_speakers">By <strong><a href=""></a></strong> , <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/nag-murty/">Nag Murty</a></strong> Co-founder & CEO | Electric Sheep, <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/oliver-mitchell/">Oliver Mitchell</a></strong> Partner | ff Venture Capital, <strong><a href="https://www.roboticssummit.com/speaker/fiona-odonnell-mccarthy/">Fiona O’Donnell McCarthy</a></strong> Principal | True Ventures</div></div><br class="clear"/></div><div id="excerpt_5092" class="session_content_extend hide session_content_wrapper"><div class="session_content has_speaker_thumb"><div class="session_excerpt">Since the COVID-19 pandemic, funding to early-stage robotics startups has dipped.
