ARSO is an international conference, aiming to provide world-class researchers, engineers, investors, economists, and representatives of industry and government with a forum to discuss cutting-edge robotics technologies, business opportunities, and more.
Who should attend
If you work at the intersection of robotics, real-world deployment, and social impact, this conference is built for you. - **You’re a researcher or academic** developing advanced robotics, autonomous systems, human-robot interaction, or related fields and want serious conversations about both technical progress and societal implications. - **You’re an engineer or applied technologist** looking to connect with others turning robotics ideas into reliable systems, products, and deployments. - **You’re from industry** and want a sharper view of emerging robotics capabilities, where the field is heading, and how research is translating into business opportunities. - **You’re an investor, strategist, or innovation lead** seeking a grounded understanding of the robotics landscape, including where technical breakthroughs may create meaningful commercial value. - **You work in government, policy, or economic development** and need insight into how advanced robotics may shape regulation, labor, infrastructure, and public priorities. - **You care about the broader effects of robotics on society** and want to engage with people who take both innovation and responsibility seriously. If you want discussions that go beyond lab results to include adoption, impact, and opportunity, you’ll be in the right room.
