Robo Con @SBC
RoboCon is the premier gathering where robotics, AI, and Web3 converge to shape the future of the agent economy. Hosted by PrismaX, Ethereum House, Vana, and Stanford Blockchain Builders (BBF), and sponsored by Sentient and OpenMind.
We’re bringing together innovators, engineers, founders, researchers, and investors to explore the cutting edge of real-world robotics and teleoperation. Unlike traditional conferences, RobotCon bridges both Web2 and Web3, spotlighting the most exciting developments in frontier tech. Our goal is to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and showcase how emerging technologies can drive real-world impact.
Attendees will experience a range of live demos, including real-time teleoperations. Remote panelists will join the conversation through telepresence robots, and we even have a mysterious guest appearance planned.
🤖Warning: there will be robots roaming around.
