Open Robots

This session will examine the robotics value chain to identify where openness exists across design, hardware, software, data, and manufacturing, and how it contributes to the sector’s growth. Speakers will discuss how open approaches at different stages of robot production can accelerate innovation, reduce costs, expand participation, and support local industrial development. The conversation will also explore how greater openness in the robotics ecosystem can strengthen collaboration, interoperability, and the diffusion of technological capabilities across markets.
