2026-06-02 10:00 2026-06-02 12:00 Europe/Madrid Industry 4.0 Forum – Advanced Robotics and AI in the Chemical Industry: What Is Real Today and What Will Come Tomorrow The emergence of artificial intelligence and new generations of robots, especially humanoid robotics, is pointing to future changes in industrial processes. The chemical industry, due to its operational complexity, safety requirements, and need for efficiency, becomes an especially complex environment where the pros and cons of these technologies must be evaluated while they have not yet reached sufficient maturity. This session will examine what is already a reality in plants and processes — robotics, intelligent automation, and data-driven systems — and what the next technological waves are, particularly humanoid robotics or autonomous systems. A session to understand the trends and opportunities that may — or may not — come with the application of AI in robotics.
