In Episode 168 of The Robot Report Podcast, co-hosts Steve Crowe, Mike Oitzman, and Eugene Demaitre recap the 2024 RoboBusiness event. They discuss their experiences, ranging from a ride in a self-driving robotaxi to the networking opportunities around the show.

This episode also features a review of the keynotes, including Rodney Brooks’ demonstration of Robust AI’s new robot and Sergey Levine’s explanation of how research into foundation models can benefit robotics. Another exciting moment was Torrey Smith’s live demonstration onstage of Endiatx’s swallowable PillBot.

In addition, the editors discuss insights from various panels and sessions, such as around humanoid robotics and investment trends. They describe the live demonstrations on the show floor, the startup pavilion, the Startup Boot Camp, plus the Pitchfire competition, which connected innovators with investors.
