---------- 

Welcome to the 7th International Furhat Conference. This concise and focused event brings together experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in social robotics. This year, our conference highlights the humanoid robotics sector, a field experiencing renewed investment and excitement worldwide, propelled by advances in generative AI.

We will feature speakers offering various perspectives, reflecting on past lessons and future promises. The conference will also showcase our latest research in speech technology, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of turn-taking, multi-party interactions, and gaze behaviors. Additionally, we will explore the implications of humanoid robots exhibiting anthropomorphic features and other design considerations related to form factors.

In a brief span of 1.5 hours, we aim to discern whether we are experiencing another cycle of technological hype or on the cusp of realizing the long-held dreams of robotic engineering.

Registration is now open <https://furhatrobotics.com/the-7th-furhat-conference-summer/> and free of charge. This event has become a traditional gathering place for emerging talent in the field of social robotics, along with established scientists and industry leaders, reminding us of the growing momentum within our community.

We hope to see you there!
