Having a pretty bad case of event-envy over this one. Apparently Amazon hosted a super secret invite only Robotic Conference in Palm Springs this weekend. Besides the reports of attendees having single malts with Bezos they had pretty much anyone who’s anyone in AI and Robotics in the room.

Good to see Toyota was there – strongly feel that this an area that Asia can and should lead. The concept of the helpful robot is widely accepted in the east – heck we even brought Pepper, a really cool robot made by Dentsu to the Neuromance party we organised last year.

I’ll put this event on my bucket list (and really should become friends with Jeff Bezos soon…)
