How robotics can support physical work in a shipyard
Robotics as a keynote topic: What humanoid systems will change
What artificial intelligence can do today is only the beginning of a much larger development. Attention is therefore already turning to humanoid robots. Their strength lies in their intelligence, while their weakness is the missing body. The move from the screen into the physical world has begun. Much of this still works only in the lab, but the distance to real-world use is shrinking month by month.
In a few years, they will be a common sight in many places. Jan Ditgen has added this exact topic to his speaking program. Organizers can also choose a robot show instead of a conventional keynote. Events built around the subject fill the room. Jan Ditgen turns it into a presentation people keep talking about.
My standard: no one gets left outside the AI conversation
I want your guests to leave able to talk about AI more clearly than they could before. That means dropping jargon when it explains nothing and showing what an application actually does.
I have spent years on stage as a speaker, magician and AI explainer. That combination helps me bring together attention and substance without turning every opportunity into a promise.
