Boston Dynamics is set to present a free webinar focused on human-robot interaction (HMI) considerations for humanoid robots. The event, titled "The Art Behind Human-Robot Interaction," will feature experts discussing how to foster trust and safety in human-robot collaboration. The webinar is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 22, 2026.
As humanoid robots transition from research environments to commercial applications, addressing safety concerns becomes crucial. Boston Dynamics emphasizes that predictability, rather than human-like appearance, is key to successful human-robot coexistence. The insights shared during the webinar will be vital for developers aiming to enhance the user experience and operational safety of humanoid robots.
Participants can expect to learn from Mario Bollini, director of human-robot interaction, and Leland Hepler, a distinguished product designer. Both speakers bring extensive experience in robotics and design, making this webinar a significant opportunity for those interested in the future of human-robot collaboration. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
