What does it take to turn a promising humanoid robotics concept into a successful healthcare project? 

Join this interactive workshop to explore which healthcare tasks are most suitable for humanoids, which technical and organizational barriers projects should anticipate, and which partners and capabilities are needed for successful implementation. Through expert insights, live polling and co-design, participants will gain practical lessons for developing stronger robotics projects and European collaborations.

The workshop is chaired by Marianne Pouwer, Business Developer AI at Oost NL and AI-hub Oost-Nederland, who initiates and coordinates collaborative European innovation projects connecting AI, robotics and healthcare. She is joined by experts from the University of Twente, the Danish Technological Institute, PAL Robotics, Instituto Pedro Nunes and CTAG. Together, they bring expertise in healthcare robotics research, AI programming, humanoid hardware, testing and validation, end-user engagement and project development. Participants will leave with concrete recommendations, new perspectives and valuable European connections.
