About this event

Robotics and AI played a key role in minimizing human contact and preventing cross-infection as the whole world practiced social distancing during Covid-19. How will the role of robotics and AI change in the future as our world slowly move towards re-opening?

Will we now see an increased adoption of service robotics & AI around the world as a result of Covid-19, which will be deployed to combat other existing virus threats and threats from future viral and bacterial infections as yet unknown?

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, that has enveloped the world with all of its far reaching economic and social consequences, the robotics industry has redoubled its efforts to bring out effective and affordable solutions to assist in combating the health emergency. According to EO intelligence report, unlike industrial robotics, where China has been playing catch-up with western companies over the past decade, China has the potential to be the global leader.

It is expected that the consumer and retail use of robotics and automation solutions will increase dramatically with this current pandemic, both through an increase in market penetration and in application areas.

Governments, local authorities, hospitals and clinics, transport hubs, corporate and SMEs are predicted to invest more in hygiene control to create sterile and safe environments for staff, patients, travelers, customers, clients and the public in general.

With the pandemic dominating and disrupting people's lives, disinfect and other service robots - used with vaccination programs and other preventive measures – will reduce the risk of virus transmission and with this containment increase the opportunities for personal interaction and a normalization of living.

At this event, attendees will learn more about the different application scenarios for service robotics during Covid-19 in China and in Europe and what are the current opportunities open to service robotics companies from China and Europe and the outlook of this market.

Following the event, those registered will receive two BONUS video interviews providing detailed insights into how robotics where applied have contributed to the control and prevention of Covid-19, opportunities and challenges faced by Chinese service robotics companies when they go international and the development and outlook of service robotics market.

The panel discussion with Tobias Kunz, Product Manager at the innovation company Future Candy and Sunny Lyn, CEO of Shenzhen IShareYoung Technology Co., Ltd, moderated by Alexandra Stefanov, Founder of China Impulse will be followed by questions from the invited audience in an interactive Q&A.
