Rise of the Robots: Interactive Tech Talk {Sponsored by GoEngineer}

According to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), robotic sales have risen to its fastest start ever in 2014. The IFR Statistical Department also expects, “that between 2014 and 2016 worldwide robot sales will increase by about 6% on average per year [and] in 2016, the annual supply of industrial robots will reach more than 190,000 units."

Tech in Motion (http://www.techinmotionevents.com/) Silicon Valley is excited to host its first Robotics event with some of the hottest Robots in the market. From educational purposes, crime fighting, and personal assistants; we will be presenting all areas of robotics that are making a difference! We welcome everyone to take a deeper look into this “innovative new world” we are headed into and come explore revolutionary technology. This is going to be an educational, captivating, and interactive event that will bring to light the, “Rise of the Robots.”

Companies: (Pssst! There will be 5-6 K5's, a SaviOne, and 2-3 NAO's at this event)

Knightscope (http://knightscope.com/), develops technology that will predict and prevent crime with an innovative combination of large-scale robotics, predictive analytics and social engagement. The Knightscope K5 Autonomous Data Machine utilizes a combination of autonomous technology, robotics and predictive analytics to provide a commanding but friendly physical presence while gathering important real-time on-site data with its numerous sensors. Data collected through these sensors is processed through the K5's predictive analytics engine, combined with existing business, government and crowdsourced social data sets, and subsequently assigned an alert level that determines when the community and the authorities should be notified of a concern. If an alert is pushed, the K5 machine will turn on all of its sensors to not only allow the entire community to review the data, but to contribute important real-time information.

Savioke (http://www.savioke.com/) (pronounced "savvy oak") is creating autonomous robot helpers for the services industry. Their first product, SaviOne (AKA "the Botlr"), is a delivery robot for hotels that brings amenities like toothbrushes, towels and cell phone chargers to guest rooms autonomously. Savioke is passionate about delivering easy-to-use yet sophisticated robots that can help people and aim to improve the lives of people by developing and deploying robotic technology in human environments - the places people live and work.

Aldebaran Robotics (http://www.aldebaran.com/en), founded in 2005, Aldebaran is a world leader in humanoid robotics. Currently there are over 6,000 of Aldebaran's flagship NAO robot being used for research and academics in K-12 curriculum and universities in over 70 countries. Aldebaran has it's sights on the personal robotics market, and is continuing to build custom robotics solutions for businesses. Aldebaran Supports a global community of engineers, developers and others interested in exploring the endless possibilities of how robots can be used in the home, workplace, schools, healthcare etc. The mission of their developer community is to inspire developers to challenge the future of social, emotional, and personal robotics; and develop the types of applications that will allow these and other robots to truly enrich the lives of humans around the world.
