The event will feature workshops on the first day, followed by two days for the main conference, which will see a wide range of activities such as plenaries, keynotes, and interactive sessions. In addition, this year will also see the commencement of an inaugural humanoid robotics competition, which will feature a diverse line of humanoid robots displaying their prowess in real-world obstacles.

Boasting an illustrious career spanning more than two decades in the robotics and rehabilitation technology sector, Zen Koh will unveil the latest innovation from Fourier Intelligence, where he will provide profound insights into the company’s cutting-edge humanoid robotics technologies during the industry panel. Founded in 2015, Fourier Intelligence began its journey in developing exoskeletons for rehabilitation and further diversified its offerings through its humanoid robotics programme. Under the leadership of Zen Koh, Fourier Intelligence started to research and develop humanoid robotics to complement its rehabilitation technology solutions. Making its debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2023 in Shanghai, the Humanoid GR-1 took centre stage.

“It’s an exciting moment for both me and Fourier Intelligence as we engage in this year’s IEEE-RAS. Over the years, technology has witnessed remarkable growth. Reflecting on the inception of my career, the progress we’ve made in robotics is truly impressive. As a roboticist, witnessing the evolution and fervour in this field is immensely motivating. Being part of this industry panel holds special significance, representing a notable milestone for Asia. It serves as a platform to bridge the gap between East and West, fostering valuable knowledge exchange and collaboration. Our aim is to propel ‘Rehab 4.0,’ envisioning a sustainable healthcare ecosystem with robotic assistance. This opportunity is an honor, and I look forward to contributing to the realisation of this vision,” expressed Zen Koh, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Fourier Intelligence.

“As the General Chair of IEEE-RAS Humanoids 2023, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to Fourier Intelligence. Your global leadership in rehabilitation and humanoid robotics is immensely appreciated. We are very grateful for your generous support as a Platinum Sponsor of Humanoids 2023. Thank you, Fourier Intelligence!” said Luis Sentis, General Chair of IEEE-RAS 2023.

Zen Koh’s “Rehab 4.0” concept will see an ecosystem where robotics and rehabilitation coincide, allowing for elevated patient care and protocols to improve recovery outcomes. In addition, it will also warrant better resource management to remedy the global demand for healthcare personnel.
