Humanoid Technology Expo in Stuttgart will focus on the components, manufacturing technologies, and supply chains needed to build reliable, durable, intelligent humanoid robots. Founded by exhibition veteran Tony Robinson, the event aims to connect robot developers with suppliers and manufacturers, leveraging Stuttgart’s automotive engineering heritage to help establish a new global industry.

The inaugural Humanoid Technology Expo

Humanoid Technology Expo is Europe’s first component, technology and full supply chain Exhibition for the development and production of humanoids and fully mobile robots.

With 100% focus on the components, manufacturing systems and complete supply-chain for the creation of reliable, durable, lightweight and intelligent robots, the Expo is a showcase for companies that are already engaged in humanoid development and those that have technologies and capabilities that will be the foundations for this entirely new industry.

Show Founder Tony Robinson has a lifelong history of creating exhibitions for new and emerging markets.

“Don’t imagine for one minute the supply chain for humanoids and fully mobile robots is already established," Robinson says. "Every humanoid developer is currently in search of the most suitable components, materials and fabrication systems. That’s a global phenomenon affecting every humanoid developer.”

Robinson is the founder of Automotive Testing Expo in 1998 which runs in Stuttgart to this day.

“Testing for reliability, repeatability, durability, light-weighting, long term performance and machine and process learning, are all in various stages of early development along with the search for best technologies in machining and tooling," he says.

Why Stuttgart?

Stuttgart is already the European Centre of Excellence in components for Humanoids.

One massive lesson has already been learned and firmly established in the region: ‘reliability is king’. Humanoids that break will be a disaster for their manufacturers, and it only takes one rogue component.

“The highest level of reliability and durability will be to humanoids what Mercedes Benz and Porsches brought to cars," Robinson says. "That’s embedded in Stuttgart’s history, mentality and people. Along with the fact that I have launched and run shows in Stuttgart since the year 2000, it makes me really happy to be making a contribution to the region’s next generation.”

Humanoid Technology Expo and HumanoidMegaHub

The company has already established the HumanoidMegaHub, the world’s biggest knowledge platform for the industry which covers every aspect of Humanoid development including the financial and investment perspective.

The HumanoidMegaHub, updated hourly, is a key resource for the humanoid space and will work hand-in-hand with the Humanoid Technology Expo to help move the industry forward.
