## Summary

Melonee Wise of Agility Robotics discusses the practical logistics applications of humanoid robots, emphasizing a tiered approach to complexity and the critical importance of new ISO safety standards for cooperative deployment. Glen Guernsey of JR Automation highlights advancements in warehouse automation, specifically random SKU palletization and automated truck loading/unloading, driven by labor shortages. Zoie Rittling of OnLogic and Michael Maxey of ZEDEDA explain the concept of 'right-sizing' AI at the edge to eliminate mundane operational tasks without over-engineering. Finally, Robert Ponsonby of Arduino details how open-source interoperability allows manufacturers to integrate legacy systems with modern cloud infrastructure, accelerating deployment and reducing costs.
