The First topic: Taking a RAG application to 10k users: Lessons from exciting tech and meaningful impact
Abstract: RAG promises a lot but what really limits its potential in practice? In this talk, I will present the pain points we uncovered from gaps in accuracy to user experience. I’ll walk through how we tackled these challenges, not just with technical fixes but by focusing on building user trust and aligning with real business value.

The Second topic: From Medical Robotics to Public Innovation: Data-Driven Learning with VRobotia
Abstract: How do we transform complex medical robotics and haptics research into engaging public learning experiences? Drawing from our work in rehabilitation robotics with bio-impedance measurements and machine learning applications, this talk reveals how we built VRobotia's data pipeline—from capturing real-time user interactions to analyzing engagement metrics across 2,000+ participants. We'll share how this data-driven approach helps us bridge the gap between advanced technology and public education through interactive robotics and VR experiences.
