BlueRun Ventures Salon Series Now Open for Registration | Robots Colliding with Multimodal LLMs: Disruption or Opportunity?

What do multimodal large models mean for the existing robotics industry? A disruptive tidal wave, or the opening of a new era?

This is a stage where nothing can be asserted with certainty. All we can do is keep reasoning and experimenting. Over the past few months, from the perspectives of robotic perception, decision-making, and control, BlueRun Ventures has done considerable thinking about the possibilities for transformation and strategies for technological breakthroughs. We've also discussed with many of our portfolio companies in the robotics track how technical advances can be applied in an industry that emphasizes execution and real-world deployment.

On May 17 (next Wednesday), 19:00–21:00, BlueRun Ventures will host the second installment of its Robotics Salon series online, exploring the transformative possibilities that multimodal large models bring to the robotics industry, and sharing our thinking with the market.

This event will be held via Tencent Meeting. Entrepreneurs, industry professionals, academic experts, and investor friends are welcome to scan the QR code below or click "Read More" to register and join us for a brainstorming session.
