About this event
Multi-robot systems promise more throughput, more flexibility, and smarter automation, but they also make safety much more complex. When multiple robots, people, tools, and material flows share the same space, the real challenge is not just making the cell work, but making it work safely, repeatably, and in a way your team can actually operate. About the Event This in-person meetup is focused on multi-robot and shared-workspace cell safety: the practical questions that come up when robotic systems no longer live in isolation. As more teams move toward collaborative layouts, denser cells, and mixed human-robot environments, safety decisions start affecting everything from system architecture to commissioning, maintenance, staffing, and uptime. The goal of this session is to create a grounde
Who should attend
This is for you if shared workspaces, robot interactions, and real-world cell safety are part of your job or your curiosity. - You work in **robotics engineering, controls, integration, or automation** and want sharper thinking around safety in multi-robot environments. - You are involved in **cell design, deployment, commissioning, or operations** and need to understand how safety decisions affect uptime, usability, and workflow. - You support **manufacturing, production, maintenance, or technical operations** and deal with the practical reality of people accessing robotic systems safely. - You are responsible for **risk assessment, safety review, or cross-functional coordination** and want better language and examples for discussing shared-workspace challenges. - You are exploring **collaborative or densely integrated robotic systems** and want to learn from community discussion before problems become expensive. - You value **meeting other robotics professionals** who can compare notes on what actually works in the field, not just in theory. If you have ever looked at a robotic cell and thought, "the hard part is not only what it does, but how people and machines safely coexist around it," you will likely find this event directly relevant.
