Join us for the Robot Year edition of RoboCafé at RoboHouse, a relaxed community gathering for the robotics and innovation ecosystem. We bring together founders, researchers, engineers, students, and partners to connect, exchange ideas, and reflect on what’s shaping robotics this year. Expect an informal café setting with free drinks.

Robot Learning: Peak in Robotics or Inflated Expectations?

In this edition, in line with the Delft Year of Robotics, our robotics engineer Denis Zatyagov will share insights on Robot Learning and discuss what has changed in robotics over the past year—from technological advances and emerging applications to collaboration and broader societal impact. The session will be complemented by Jasper Vermeulen, a visiting us PhD candidate from the Australian Cobotics Centre at Queensland University of Technology. Jasper is currently synthesizing his research into a socio-technically grounded theory that explains how human–robot collaboration is actually performed in high-stakes environments, and how it can be better designed to support all involved.
