Host

Journalism has fascinated Petra Bindl since her schooldays, so it was no surprise that she wanted to get to know the media landscape a little better after successfully completing her studies in business administration at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (with a focus on marketing and communications science). An internship at the radio station ANTENNE BAYERN finally ensured her entry into a business that she still enjoys today.

Petra Bindl started her TV career at DSF. Further stations included PREMIERE/SKY Deutschland, DW-TV, EUROSPORT and ZDF. But it is not only the sporting events around the world that fascinate her to this day and about which she provides information in a wide variety of broadcast formats.

Her journalistic know-how and her naturalness make the Nuremberg native, who lives in Munich, a much sought-after presenter for events, galas, press conferences, trade fairs, panel discussions, etc., both nationally and internationally. – on a national as well as international stage.

Founder, former CEO, and Executive Director of Boston Dynamics AI Instutute

Marc Raibert is executive director of The AI Institute. In this role, he drives The Institute’s strategic roadmap and spearheads recruitment efforts to achieve the organization’s mission of developing technology that enables future generations of intelligent machines.

Raibert also serves as the chairman of the board at Boston Dynamics, which he founded in 1992. A spin-off from MIT, Boston Dynamics is arguably the most influential pure-play robotics organization in the world, having produced robots such as BigDog, Atlas, Stretch, and Spot – the latter two are available for commercial purchase and used by organizations around the globe.

A lifelong roboticist, Raibert started his robotics career more than 45 years ago as a graduate student at MIT, where he wrote software that learned the dynamics of a robot manipulator. His work has influenced modern dynamic robots, including legged and mobile-manipulation robots. He was the first to create robots that balance as they walk and run, and this early focus on dynamics helped form the foundation for today’s commercialized mobile robots.
