What to expect

The intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics is rapidly transforming industrial automation, and this virtual AI TechDay from Global AI Karlsruhe offers a deep dive into the data challenges, sensor technologies, and real-world constraints shaping the future of intelligent robotic systems. If you're interested in understanding why many high-value manufacturing operations remain manual despite decades of automation investment, this session delivers expert insights into the software and data limitations holding back industrial AI adoption.

What You'll Learn

The event features two comprehensive talks addressing critical aspects of modern robotics:

Teaching Robots at Scale: Data, Programming, and the Real Limits of Industrial AI with Marc Plogas, The Cloud and IoT Guy at RoboTwin. This session examines why AI successes in robotics currently focus on controlled, low-value tasks and why expectations around humanoid and general-purpose robots remain misaligned with industrial reality. Marc will explore the fundamental challenge: unlike conversational AI which leverages massive internet datasets, there is no equivalent treasure trove of robot data for manufacturing environments. You'll discover systematic approaches to capturing production data that enable learning-based robotics to scale while maintaining trustworthiness and safety.

Sensors in Robotics – Application and Development with Bernhard Merkle, Microsoft MVP and Principal AI Architect at SICK Sensor Intelligence. Bernhard will demonstrate how modern sensor technologies enable intelligent robotic systems across industrial automation, mobile robotics, collaborative robots, and service applications. The talk covers how sensor data is fused and interpreted for reliable perception, navigation, and environmental interaction, plus explores AI's dual role: enhancing sensors to detect objects and understand scenes, and supporting sensor development itself through data-driven calibration, simulation-based design, virtual sensing, and automated validation.

Who Should Attend

This virtual event suits AI engineers, robotics developers, manufacturing technology specialists, automation professionals, and anyone interested in the practical challenges of deploying intelligent systems in industrial environments. Whether you're working on production automation, evaluating AI adoption for robotics applications,
