Keynote Sessions 2027

Opening keynotes on both days — strategic perspectives from industry and research leaders.

Keynote · Day 1 · January 20

Beyond GPUs: Custom SoCs and Chiplet Architectures for Physical AI at Scale

Confirmed
Matthias Neumann – Socionext Europe
Speaker
Matthias Neumann
Director Marketing Smart Sensors & Industry · Socionext Europe

Humanoid robots are moving from controlled demonstrations towards real-world applications. This requires more than capable AI models and advanced mechanics — the computing architecture inside the robot must process sensor data, AI workloads and real-time control within strict limits on latency, power consumption, thermal performance, system size and cost. This keynote discusses the role of custom System-on-Chip architectures and chiplet-based approaches for deploying Physical AI at scale.

January 20, 2027 (Wednesday) · Morning 09:00 – 09:30 Main Stage
Keynote · Day 1 · January 20

Industrial Humanoids: AI for Flexible Automation – Why It Will Happen Faster Than You Think

Confirmed
Patrick Heimburger – fruitcore robotics GmbH
Speaker
Patrick Heimburger
Managing Director · fruitcore robotics GmbH

Industrial automation is on the verge of a paradigm shift: with Physical AI, robots are increasingly able to perceive their environment, understand situations, plan tasks and respond flexibly to changes. fruitcore robotics is developing PLEXA One, an industrial humanoid for real production environments. This keynote shows which technological prerequisites have already been created, which applications are becoming economically interesting, and why the industrial use of humanoids may become reality much faster than many expect.
