We have been helping inventors, scientists, engineers, roboticists and academia design and build robots since 1960. Our technology enables Precision Motion Control in applications including, industrial robots, surgical robots and planetary rovers. Let us help you with your next project. Partner with our expert engineering team to make your concept a reality.
On behalf of our entire team, welcome to Boston for the sixth annual Robotics Summit & Expo!
We’re thrilled to have you join us for what promises to be our biggest and best event yet.
Get ready for two action-packed days of 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 learn the latest about humanoids, connect with industry leaders, or solve your robotics engineering challenges, you’ve come to the right place.
We have world-class speakers, panels, and keynotes lined up, over 200 exhibitors on the show floor, and thousands of attendees from the global robotics development community. None of this is possible without your support, so thank you!
To help you make the most of your time, we’ve rolled out a new Robotics Summit app. If you haven’t already downloaded it, scan the QR code on this page. The app will help you plan your schedule, explore sessions, connect with attendees, and schedule meetings with exhibitors. It’s your pocket-sized guide to everything happening during the show.
We also want to welcome and congratulate the winners of our RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards! The RBR50 has been honoring robotics leaders since 2012. You can see some of the winning robots on the show floor in the RBR50 Showcase.
A limited number of tickets are still available for the RBR50 Gala, an awards dinner on April 30 that brings the winners together for a night of celebration. You can purchase tickets at the registration desk and learn about the Robot of the Year, Startup of the Year, Application of the Year, and Robots for Good Award winners.
We hope you enjoy your time in Boston, a vibrant city that’s home to one of the world’s leading robotics clusters. Take some time to explore while you’re here!

In times of uncertainty and change, the best response is connection and growth—and that’s exactly what we’ve built into this year’s DeviceTalks Boston agenda.
We’ve assembled leaders in engineering, manufacturing, and commercialization to share how they’re strengthening and advancing the MedTech industry.
Senior executives from Zimmer Biomet, Baxter, Inspire Medical Systems, and more will reveal how they’re balancing internal priorities with external pressures.
You’ll gain fresh strategies in crisis management, sustainability, product design, and go-to-market execution. (Don’t miss our Day 1 closing keynote panel on selling to Ambulatory Surgery Centers.)
We’re also diving into cutting-edge tech—leaders from Medtronic, Boston Scientific, BD, Enovis, and others will explore Pulse-Field Ablation, AI, and other game-changing innovations.
We’re proud to once again feature two dozen MedTech Innovator All-Stars pitching their visions for the future of the industry.
But the real power of DeviceTalks is you—connecting with 1,600+ professionals who share a passion for MedTech.
• Engage with experts on our exhibit floor.
• Discover bold approaches in our workshops.
• Meet the people who’ll make your team stronger and your path clearer.
Thanks for joining us at DeviceTalks Boston—because MedTech moves forward together.
Go MedTech!
