Robotics Summit 2026: Where Robot Geeks Unite and Eat Tech for Breakfast

Ok wait because this is actually insane. The 2026 Robotics Summit & Expo is rolling out in Boston, and it's a techie paradise. More than 5,000 robotics aficionados and 200+ exhibitors are about to descend on the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center. Mark your calendars for May 2026!

Day 1: Meet Your Future Robot Overlords

We’re talking over 50 sessions diving into AI, design, healthcare, and logistics. And you know the Engineering Theater is gonna be popping with industry experts dropping knowledge bombs. Imagine getting insights from big names like Tesla, Toyota Research Institute, and Fictiv. No cap, it’s a mega-brain dump.

The keynote panel “Building the Next Era of Robot Autonomy” features Amazon Robotics and Universal Robots. Then there’s “The State of Humanoids” at 10 a.m. Bruh, this is where future tech gets real. Are you as hyped for humanoids as I'm?

For those who want a break from all the tech talk, there's even a pickleball game with Tennibot. Because why not?

Day 2: From AI Breakfasts to Neuralink Dreams

Day two kicks off with a Women in Robotics Breakfast. Expect inspo from Joyce Sidopoulos of MassRobotics. Also, Brian Gerkey from Open Robotics will tell us why AI-powered robots are the move.

And OMG, day two wraps with a keynote by Noland Arbaugh, the first person to use a Neuralink brain-computer interface. Imagine having a computer in your brain. Ok but seriously, can we talk about how this is the stuff sci-fi is made of?

This isn’t just a conference, it’s where tomorrow's tech dreams are born. The way this summit just ate. Iconic. Whether you're a techie or just love robots, your brain’s about to be on fire with new ideas.
