Megatrends—mega-informative: the automatica Forum, for the first time with AI real-time translation
From trend analyses to best practice examples: The automatica Forum in Hall A5 offers you first-hand expert knowledge and valuable know-how transfer around the three megatrends of automation "Digitalization and AI", "Sustainable Production" and "Future of Work".
"Digitalization and AI", "Sustainable production" and "The future of work" define our industry - and therefore also the automatica Forum 2025. Together with the topics "Humanoid robotics", "Next generation RobotX" and "Healthtech and life sciences", they form the common thread that runs through a large number of keynotes, practical presentations and other knowledge formats - and is of course also reflected in the daily panel discussions and exhibitor presentations, for which we have extra slots available. The automatica Forum will be presented even more prominently in Hall A5 in 2025 and will therefore be located in the immediate vicinity of the automatica TestZone - a perfect match of theory and practice.
In 2025, the forum will once again be largely organized by the Konradin Media Group under the leadership of Automationspraxis and will cover all relevant application areas of robotics and automation. There will also be very different formats - for example the munich_i CEO Roundtable or the IFR Executive Roundtable.
All lectures will be AI real-time translated into English, French, Italian, Korean and Chinese.
Speakers and program highlights 2025
munich_i Executive Round Table: AI robotics – the competitiveness booster?
What characterizes robust and overarching AI systems? How do AI robots impact work environments? How does generative AI affect learning processes in robotics? And how to ensure safe interaction between robots and humans? Tomorrow’s munich_i Executive Round Table covers everything you need to know in this context.
