About This Webinar

Humanoid robotics has moved from research labs to commercial roadmaps, with companies including Tesla, Figure, Agility Robotics, and Unitree publicly targeting production timelines within the next few years.

For design engineers, this shift raises a distinct set of engineering questions that don't map neatly onto existing robotics or automation experience: how do you balance payload capacity against overall weight when every joint adds mass and power draw? How much autonomy versus teleoperation should a system support, and what does that mean for onboard compute? What's the realistic cost-per-unit path when actuators, sensors, and battery systems are still priced for prototypes rather than scale production?

This webinar will bring together key companies working across the humanoid robotics space to walk through the core trade-offs that shape early-stage design decisions. It will take a practical approach, considering what an engineering team should evaluate before committing to a design direction, and where are teams currently getting it wrong or right.
