Summit Workshop Sessions

“Defining Challenges, Exploring Possibilities, and Synthesizing Solutions”

Geospatial World in partnership with the Robotics Factory, Innovation Works, and the Pittsburgh Robotics Network are convening workshop tracks designed to foster collaborative problem solving for key challenges and opportunities facing the community.

The workshop is structured as a hands-on, team-based innovation experience, bringing together experts from the geospatial, robotics, and AI ecosystems. Participants will move from problem discovery to solution development, ultimately culminating in a concise product or service pitch.
