Looking Back at Demo Day 2025
Around 70 experts from various industries, research partners, stakeholders and media representatives accepted our invitation to visit the AIT Large-Scale Robotics Lab.
Despite the heavy rain, the autonomous crane for loading tree trunks and the autonomous forklift truck for outdoor logistics demonstrated that they can work reliably and safely in adverse weather conditions.
Presentations by AIT experts and industry partners, as well as an accompanying technology exhibition, offered exclusive insights into current research topics and issues relating to the automation of industrial machinery. The event provided an opportunity for exchange, networking and joint discussion.
It was a successful demo day all round, impressively demonstrating what is already possible today and where the journey is headed.
Thank you for visiting us and for trusting us to help shape the future of automation!
A big thank you to all the speakers for their exciting and inspiring insights
