By 2018, sales of service robots for personal and domestic use will reach 35 million units, according to the International Robotics Federation. Get a first look at the robots responsible for changing the way we live during the CES Robotics Conference and within the Robotics Marketplace, both presented by Robotics Trends.

On Friday, January 6, 2017, the Robotics Conference will deliver three power-packed sessions that reveal how robots are transforming our lives. Conference sessions will include:

Delivery Robots Knocking at Your Door

Learn how drones and autonomous mobile robots are transforming home delivery and emergency medical response. Ahti Heinla of Starship Technologies, Helen Greiner of CyPhy Works and Steve Cousins of Savioke will discuss developments, the need for continued testing and how to overcome regulatory and technical challenges.

Robots for the Real-World Showcase

Join Steve Crowe of Robotics Trends for demos of real-life robots that are already working with humans and making a major impact on the world. Companies that will be demoing robots are AImotive (new US self-driving car company), Franklin Robotics (weeding robot), Leka (autism therapy robot), and NVIDIA (self-driving cars). More info

Robotics Marketplace

Located at CES’ Tech West, the Robotics Marketplace will be available to explore January 6-9, 2016. Visitors will have the opportunity to mingle with over 25 exhibitors showcasing intelligent, autonomous machines capable of seeing, hearing and reacting to the environment in ways once thought impossible.

A few of the companies that will be on display include ECOVACS Robotics, Five Elements Robotics, OZOBOT, Picobrew, Segway, Seven Dreamers Laboratories and UBTECH Robotics among many others.
