The Future of Robotics and Wearables: How Humans Will Connect With the Internet of Things
Wearables are transforming how we monitor everything from our health to smart buildings. At the same time, broader robotics and smart materials are having a significant impact on the way we live and interact today. In this hands-on session, our thought leaders and experts will demonstrate some advancements in wearable technologies and robotics and lead an interactive discussion in all the ways that IoT is affecting our lives and our society.
OpenMind is one of the many initiatives undertaken by BBVA with the aim of generating and spreading knowledge for the benefit of society as a whole. The Internet of Things is a topic widely covered by their contributors. All workshop participants will have an opportunity to contribute to the discussion, which will be lead by members of the OpenMind community:
