WELCOME TO ROBOBUSINESS 2025 IN SILICON VALLEY!
Get ready for two action-packed days filled with educational content, hands-on demos, meaningful networking, and some of the most passionate minds in robotics all under one roof. Whether you’re here to explore the latest in Physical AI, connect with industry leaders, or tackle your robotics engineering challenges, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve lined up world-class speakers, panels, and keynotes, with more than 100 exhibitors on the show floor and attendees joining us from across the global robotics community.
This year, the Physical AI Forum debuts as a centerpiece of RoboBusiness, showcasing how robotics leaders are harnessing AI to advance perception, planning, autonomy, and more. As the leading topic of the show, it underscores how AI is transforming the way companies build smarter, more capable robots.
To help you make the most of your time, we’ve introduced the new RoboBusiness app. If you haven’t already downloaded it, scan the QR code on this page. The app is your pocket-sized guide to the conference to plan your schedule, explore sessions, connect with attendees, and book meetings with exhibitors.
A limited number of tickets remain for our networking events, including the Women in Robotics Luncheon on Day 2. Stop by the registration desk to secure your spot.
RoboBusiness would not be possible without your support. Thank you for being part of this community. We hope you enjoy your time here in the heart of one of the world’s leading robotics clusters, and we encourage you to take some time to explore Silicon Valley while you’re with us.

DEAR DEVICETALKER,
Before I ask a quick favor, I want to welcome you to DeviceTalks West’s Innovation and Industry Forums.
We’ve built this year’s program to give you a focused, in-depth look at MedTech’s most critical areas — from breakthrough interventional tools and surgical robotics to connected health and neurotech.
You’ll hear from experts who know what it takes to build, scale, and sell successful medical device companies. This agenda was designed for you — the MedTech engineer, manufacturing expert, or commercialization pro working to put the next generation of life-changing technologies into the hands of physicians.
Tom Salemi
Tom Salemi Editorial Director, DeviceTalks
We’re glad you’re here.
Now for that favor: don’t be a bystander.
Don’t wait for that interesting connection to approach you.
Don’t wait for someone else to ask your question.
DeviceTalks works best when everyone is engaged.
We’ve done our part — now we need you to do yours.
Thank you to our great sponsors, our accomplished speakers and, of course, to you for being part of DeviceTalks.
P.S. Don’t miss our Women in MedTech Breakfast on the morning of Day 2! What a great source of inspiration and insight! If you haven’t registered for it, talk to someone at our registration desk.
Transforming the Intelligent OR: How NVIDIA, Barco, and Infor Are Powering AI-Driven Medical Devices

Simplify.
The Integrated Series is a family of compact actuators that deliver high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. These servo actuators feature high precision Harmonic Drive® gearing combined with a brushless servo motor, a brake option (for SHA models), magnetic absolute encoders and an Integrated Servo Drive with CANopen® or EtherCAT® (for LPA or SHA models) communication options. This revolutionary product eliminates the need for an external drive and greatly simplifies cabling, yet delivers high-positional accuracy and torsional stiffness in a compact housing.
• Actuator with Integrated Servo Drive utilizing CANopen® or EtherCAT®
• 24 or 48 VDC nominal supply voltage
• A single cable with only 4 conductors is needed: CANH, CANL, +VDC, 0VDC
• Zero Backlash Harmonic Drive® Gearing
• Panel Mount Connectors or Pigtail Cables Available with Radial and Axial Options
• Control Modes include: Torque, Velocity, and Position Control, CSP, CSV, CST
