Actuate was awesome!
Founder? Investor? Sign up for the SVR Robotics Investor Summit on Nov 1st - investor panels and 1:1s
Congratulations to Adrian MacNeil, Sunny Malhotra and all the team at Foxglove for putting on Actuate, a great 1 day event this week. It was targeted towards robotics developers, with speakers at the forefront of the latest advances and full of interesting robotics companies! The videos will be worth watching when they come out!
Next up nearby: Bay Area Robotics Symposium on October 11th, RobOpsCon in Mountain View on Oct 15th, and the Stanford Robotics Center launches on Saturday Nov 2nd. Plus a super lineup for the Humanoids Summit on Dec 11/12th at the Computer History Museum.
The SVR Robotics Investor Summit is on Nov 1st, which is also the launch of Circuit Launch Mountain View (and yes there is also going to be Circuit Launch San Leandro too!). We already have a number of robotics companies and product design firms on the list for space so if you’re interested get in touch.
If you’re traveling then I might see you at ICRA@40 in Rotterdam or ROSCon in Odense, or ICSR (also in Odense)! * there are links to all these events in the calendar section!
International Women in Robotics Day is coming up on October 2nd 2024
Plus it’s International Women in Robotics Day on Oct 2nd… so CELEBRATE!! Share photos of women working on robots, coding, troubleshooting, marketing, building, soldering, driving etc. We need more action shots on the internet (otherwise Sophia shows up at the top of the searches for “women in robotics!”)
We’ll also be announcing the winners of the latest Joanne Pransky Celebration of Women in Robotics Scholarships, with $5,000 awarded to undergrads and graduate students. We award scholarships every six months and the next round of scholarships will focus on final year high school students and early undergraduates. Many thanks to The Engelberger Foundation and A3 for their donations to the scholarships fund!
You can also put on local events and register them on the Women in Robotics event calendar. Or buy a great tee shirt!
