Abstract: Trust in robotics isn’t just a slogan or ethical goal, it’s an engineering discipline. In this engaging talk, Krystal Mattich, Senior Director of Security, Privacy & Risk at Brain Corp, shows how to turn “trustworthy AI” from theory into tangible design choices that matter in the field.
Drawing on Brain Corp’s experience deploying over 40,000 robots in public spaces, Krystal will share what it really takes to earn trust, and keep it. She’ll unpack a practical playbook that teams can apply right now:
- Secure-by-design hardware and software that build safety in from day one
- Privacy-preserving data practices that respect people as much as performance
- Human-in-the-loop operations and red-team testing that keep systems accountable
- Continuous monitoring and clear incident response playbooks for resilience in the real world
Attendees will walk away with a ready-to-use checklist to apply in their own projects, whether in research, pilots, or products, plus lessons from large-scale deployments on what actually works and what to avoid.
Join us to explore how to make trustworthy robotics not just an aspirational vision, but a repeatable engineering standard.
