Event Details:

We’re now seeing more robots in our lives, with astonishing capabilities, more than ever. How did that become possible? It turns out: it’s not just about the advancement of engineering or AI that made this possible, it’s also thanks to the advancement of chemistry! Join us for an electrifying seminar on 'The Chemistry that Powers Modern Robotics', where we’ll delve into the chemical applications and development that have been crucial to making this cutting-edge technology possible. Explore how modern lithium-ion batteries fuel a variety of robotic systems with efficient, high-density energy storage. Discover the role of Neodymium magnets in enhancing robotic motion through superior magnetic fields. This session will not only illuminate the science but also bring it to life with real robots in the classroom. Don’t miss this dynamic blend of chemistry and robotics in action!

Our guest speaker will be Mr. Stuart Bowers, Founder of Hands-On Robotics, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing AI-Robotics innovation and education. Mr. Bowers is one of the global leaders in AI and Robotics, with an illustrious career in the field - from the development of AI platforms at Meta, to leading engineering at Snap, to VP of Engineering at Tesla where he led the autonomy team. This isn’t a lecture you’d want to miss!
