On February 25, 2026 from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm ET, Advantech, Qualcomm, Arrow, in partnership with D3 Embedded, Edge Impulse, and the Pittsburgh Robotics Network will present Robotics Day, an in-person conference for engineers and product teams. Qualcomm and D3 Embedded are members of the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, while Edge Impulse is a subsidiary of Qualcomm.
Here’s the description, from the event registration page:
Overview
Exclusive in-person event: get practical guidance, platform roadmap & hands-on experience to accelerate compute & AI choices for your robot
Join us for an exclusive, in-person Robotics Day built for engineers and product teams developing AMRs, humanoids, and industrial robotics applications. Co-hosted with Arrow, Qualcomm, Edge Impulse and Advantech, and supported by ecosystem partners, the event delivers practical guidance on choosing compute platforms, integrating vision and sensors, and accelerating AI development from prototype to deployment.
What to expect
- Expert keynotes on robotics platform trends, roadmap considerations, and rugged edge deployment
- Live demo showcase with real hardware and end-to-end solution workflows you can evaluate firsthand
- Three technical breakout tracks with deep dives on compute, vision and perception, and AI software optimization
- High-value networking with peer robotics builders, plus direct access to industry leaders, solution architects, and partner technical teams
You’ll leave with clearer platform direction, implementation best practices, and trusted connections for follow-up technical discussions and next-step evaluations. Attendance is limited to keep conversations focused and interactive.
To close the day, we will host a Connections Mixer at the Sky Lounge featuring a brief wrap-up and a raffle. This casual networking hour is designed to help attendees connect with peers, speakers, and solution teams in a relaxed setting. Sponsored by D3 Embedded.
