Hosted by Dr Jeroen De Backer, the event attracted over 400 registrations from across 50 countries, with many taking the opportunity to interact via live Q&A.

Jeroen covered the latest innovations in heavy-duty robotic systems, serial and parallel kinematic designs, synergies between friction stir welding (FSW) and machining, and how innovations in sensory feedback can improve robot capabilities.
