As humanoids transition from research labs to real-world environments, achieving intelligence, agility, and energy efficiency requires system-level innovation across sensing, processing, power and connectivity.

The Robotics Summit & Expo, which will be on May 27 and 28 in Boston, will include the session “Humanoids That Scale: A Systems and Semiconductor Perspective.”

It will provide a technical roadmap for building smarter, safer, and more efficient humanoid robots. It will explore how integrated semiconductor technologies and optimized system design can enable the next generation of humanoids that perceive, think, and move more like humans — safely and efficiently.

Giovanni Campanella. Giovanni Campanella, the general manager of robotics at Texas Instruments, will lead present at 2:30 p.m. ET on Day 2 of the event.

Drawing from real-world design examples and reference architectures, Campanella will examine key design challenges. This will include high-bandwidth sensor fusion, real-time edge AI processing, precision motor control, and reliable communications among distributed subsystems.

Attendees will gain insights into how advancements in embedded processing, analog signal chains, and power management can reduce system latency, improve energy efficiency, and increase reliability, all critical to humanoid performance and safety.

Giovanni Campanella is a sector general manager at Texas Instruments, focusing on industrial automation and robotics. He leads a team that helps solve customer design challenges on a worldwide basis. Campanella has broad experience in analog and sensing technologies as well as strong analytical and interpersonal skills combined with a hands-on attitude.

Campanella holds a bachelor’s degree in electronics and telecommunication engineering from the University of Bologna and a master’s degree in electronic engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin.

Register for the Robotics Summit & Expo today

Registration is now open for the Robotics Summit & Expo, the world’s leading technical event for commercial robotics developers. The summit is produced by The Robot Report and WTWH Media.

The show will have more than 50 sessions in tracks on AI, design and development, enabling technologies, healthcare, and logistics. The Engineering Theater on the show floor will also feature presentations by industry experts.

More than 70 speakers are confirmed from companies such as Fictiv, Harmonic Drive, maxon, PickNik Robotics, RealSense, Robust AI, Tesla, Toyota Research Institute, and more.

The Robotics Summit will also feature a number of networking opportunities. They include a Mix & Mingle Networking Reception after the first day of the show and the ticketed RBR50 Awards Dinner.

The Robotics Summit & Expo is co-located with DeviceTalks Boston, which focuses on medical devices.
