Robotics in Israel

  •  
     
    Next week, Herzliya will host the Fifth Israeli Conference on Robots. Israel is a leader in robotic development and research, and this conference allows entrepreneurs, scientists and students to come together for prospective collaboration. The conference encourages international partnerships, with participation from professors at MIT, the University of Toronto, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
     
    The conference provides a showcase for new technological advances talking pace both in Israel and around the world. Indeed, some products, first explored in Israel, such as the ReWalk, wearable robotic exoskeleton, have already reached providers in the United States. It is clear that the spirit of innovation brings us together and strengthens ties between Israel and the United States.
