Overcoming Core Engineering Barriers in Humanoid Robotics Development

Murata Manufacturing Co.
A technical examination of the sensing, motion control, power, and thermal challenges facing humanoid robotics engineers — with component-level design strategies for real-world deployment. What Attendees will Learn Why motion control remains the hardest unsolved problem — Explore the modelling complexity, real-time feedback requirements, and sensor fusion demands of maintaining stable bipedal locomotion across dynamic environments. How sensing architectures enable perception and safety — Underst
