A lecture on combining robotics with blockchain technology

What happens when robots stop being isolated machines and start becoming part of a decentralized ecosystem?

In this lecture, Professor Eduardo Castello explores the convergence of robotics and blockchain technologies — a fusion that enables robots to collaborate, trade, and evolve trustlessly across networks.

Drawing from his research on distributed robotic systems, he will present a vision of a non-so-distant future where autonomous machines negotiate, cooperate, and create new forms of interaction with humanity.
