Midas’ Touch: The Next Robot Astronaut in the Golden Age of Space Robotics
Join INSEAD and Swissnex in San Francisco in the afternoon of February 7 and explore how space robotics is redefining exploration and collaboration in extreme environments. Examine a future where robots are not just tools but vital partners, transforming humanity’s journey into space, during an event that is part of the official INSEAD Americas Conference.
From performing precision tasks to navigating hazardous environments, robots are enabling missions once thought impossible. Yet, as their role evolves, so does the way we think about teamwork, trust, and control in high-stakes exploration. Are we entering an era where humans and robots become co-creators of success in space?
As we look to the horizon, new questions arise:
- How do robots complement human astronauts to achieve what neither could do alone?
- What are the technological and human limits we need to overcome to make robots reliable partners in space?
This event brings together an space expert, a venture capitalist, and a robotics expert to discuss the challenges and opportunities driving the next chapter of space robotics. Through their unique lenses, we’ll explore the breakthroughs making robots smarter, the investments fueling innovation, and the evolving role of human ingenuity in this technological partnership.
Just as Midas’ touch turned everything into gold, robotics has the power to transform space exploration—expanding our reach, increasing our capabilities, and reshaping the way we imagine the future. The question now is not if robots will journey with us but how far we’ll go together.
This event is brought to you by INSEAD and Swissnex in San Francisco, and is part of the official INSEAD Americas Conference. For information on other parts of the program or to register, please visit the INSEAD Americas Conference registration website.
