Panathenea Festival Details

The HERMES Team had the privilege of participating in Panathēnea 2026, an experience that left us inspired and energized by the vibrant innovation ecosystem that came together throughout the event. A major highlight for our team was our participation in the House of Robots, where we represented the University of Thessaly and had the opportunity to showcase our work in Biomedical & Healthcare Robotics. During the event, we presented our projects, shared our vision for the future of healthcare robotics, and discussed the role that emerging technologies and Physical AI can play in transforming patient care and improving quality of life. The event provided an exceptional platform for meaningful discussions with researchers, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and technology enthusiasts. Through these interactions, we exchanged ideas, explored opportunities for future collaborations, and gained valuable insights into the latest developments shaping the technology sector. We would like to sincerely thank the organizing teams of Panathēnea 2026 and the House of Robots for their hospitality and for creating an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. Their efforts provided a unique opportunity for us to present our work and connect with members of the broader technology community. We return from this experience with valuable new connections, fresh perspectives, and even greater motivation to continue advancing our research and development efforts in healthcare robotics.
