Meet the Robotics for Good start-ups advancing sustainable development (3rd session)
0Artificial Intelligence (AI) paired with robotic technologies offer cutting-edge solutions to societal challenges in numerous fields; from assistive technologies and health, smart transport, workplace safety, sustainable food production and consumption, green energy, climate change, security, equality, and more. Start-ups with robotic innovations that can help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals are invited to pitch their solution for the new AI for Good competition, Robotics for Good Innovation Factory. \n\nJoin our Robotics for Good Innovation Factory event on April 11, the last in a series of global start-up pitching sessions to find the most promising solutions using AI and robotics to solve sustainable development challenges. Watch the top entrepreneur finalists present their innovative AI-powered and SDG-driven robotics solutions to internationally renowned AI and robotics experts. \n\nWHAT IS ROBOTICS FOR GOOD INNOVATION FACTORY? \nRobotics for Good as part of the AI for Good Innovation Factory is a series of pitching sessions open to any innovative start-ups developing intelligent autonomous systems to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Intelligent autonomous systems are developed by integrating AI with robotics. This powerful combination enhances the capabilities of robots by enabling them to analyze, learn and self-improve without having to be programmed in a classical way. \n\nAI for Good Innovation Factory is an UN-led pitching platform to help start-ups grow and scale their innovative AI-powered and SDG-driven solutions, by connecting them to potential business partners, investors, governments, big IT companies and more. \n\nFor those who are seeking ground-breaking solutions from start-ups, it is an excellent platform to explore opportunities to meet promising ventures and collaborators. \n\nModerator):\nGuillem Martínez Roura\nAI and Robotics Programme Coordinator\nInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nJosh Choi\nDirector of Business Development\nKorea Startup Forum\nJudges:\n\nJohn Walsh\nFounder and CEO\nRed Summit\n\nSandra Skaff\nSenior Alliances and Ecosystem Manager\nNVIDIA\n\nHiroaki Kitano\nCEO\nSony AI\n\nPascale Fung\nDirector of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research\nHong Kong University of Science and Technology\n\n#roboticsforgood #innovationfactory\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
