We had the opportunity to participate in the ALL IN event on September 27 and 28, 2023, the largest gathering dedicated to AI in Canada. Innovation is at the heart of the Canadian economy and our values at Osedea, and we were inspired by the innovative ideas of the companies present at this event.

Our famous robot, Spot, had the honor of meeting the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, who even had the opportunity to pilot it. Service robots, such as Boston Dynamics' Spot robot, contribute to automating repetitive and low-value tasks for humans, which is a significant asset to the Canadian economy. They will enable businesses to overcome challenges related to labor shortages, increase their efficiency, and enhance their competitiveness in global markets.

We also had the opportunity to present the Spot robot during a 20-minute conference with Thierry Marcoux and Armand Brière. The goal was to popularize service robots and explain concretely the utility of the Spot robot.
