DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nIn this talk\, we will explore the evolving automation la
 ndscape in automotive manufacturing as physical AI and humanoids emerge\, 
 unlocking new opportunities. We will analyze how specialized and end-2-end
  AI models are expanding the capabilities and operational envelope for rob
 ots in perception\, grasping\, manipulation and assembly tasks.  The talk 
 concludes with an industrial view and discussion around strategic factors 
 influencing adoption of physical AI in serial production.\n\nDr. Parag Pat
 re is an engineering leader with expertise in advanced robotics\, physical
  AI\, control systems\, and autonomous technologies. Currently serving as 
 a Senior Manager for Advanced Robotics at Magna International\, with past 
 tenures at Siemens\, TE Connectivity and NASA — he specializes in bridgi
 ng the gap between academic research and large-scale industrial applicatio
 ns. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florid
 a\, a B.Tech. from IIT Madras\, and is a widely published expert dedicated
  to industrializing advanced robotics.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.i
