Agenda for International Robot Safety Conference

AI robots can be manipulated into dangerous actions. Researchers warn safety systems, laws and accountability are lagging behind innovation.

IRSC is the leading robot safety conference. Companies have relied on this event to help improve their safety programs for more than 35 years.

What if robots could think for themselves—no cloud, no lag, just pure, real-time intelligence? In this episode, we dive into the game-changing world of Google DeepMind’s Gemini Robotics on-device model, the breakthrough that’s redefining what robots can do. Imagine a compact AI brain that lets robots operate autonomously, process information instantly, and make split-second decisions—whether on the factory floor, in your living room, or even on a mission to Mars. We’ll break down how Gemini Robotics is slashing latency, boosting adaptability, and delivering jaw-dropping performance with minimal training data. You’ll hear how this on-device AI is setting new standards for robot safety and flexibility, making it a must-watch development for anyone fascinated by artificial intelligence, robotics, or the future of technology. From the latest in edge AI to the real-world impact of autonomous robots, this episode is packed with insights, controversy, and a glimpse into a future where machines are smarter, faster, and more independent than ever. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a robotics pro, or just curious about the next big thing, you’ll want to stick around till the end. Ready to see how Google DeepMind is changing the robotics game?
