Human robotics: a positive story
Over 230 people from industry, care and policy making attented the launch event on 27 April.
The evening started with a warm welcome from Rector Paul De Knop to a city and a university where magic happens every single day. The BruBotics chairman prof. Dirk Lefeber next sketched the evolution of robotics research and highlighted the growing need for interdisciplinary research on the subject. Finally, the BruBotics Business Developers Lennert Vierendeels and Jacques Langhendries introduced BruBotics.
Through testimonials from the Vice-Prime minister Alexander De Croo, Audi Brussels CEO Patrick Danau and Kris Goos from the To Walk Again foundation, BruBotics hoped to show next how robots can help our society, our industry and above all people.
Finally, the evening was concluded by a poster session where the guests where given the chance to meet the researchers and learn to know their research.
