Weaving the Future: How to "Grow" a Robot

Picture a manufacturing process that looks less like a factory line and more like a biological creation - where synthetic muscles, tendons, and durable tissues are braided directly onto skeletal frames, growing monolithic bodies that move with the eerie fluidity of life itself.

It sounds like the premise of a high-concept sci-fi thriller about a theme park of the future. But this technology isn't fiction, and it isn't decades away. It is happening now, driven by Hungarian ingenuity.

The Hungarian Innovators Club of Silicon Valley cordially invites you to step into this brave new world with a presentation by Allonic. We are pulling back the curtain on "3D Tissue Braiding," a revolutionary textile-based production technology that enables the fully automatic fabrication of the most complex robotic subsystems—fingers, arms, and legs that don't just function, but flow.

Are you ready to:

• Witness the birth of a new organism: See how machinery "grows" fibrous, functional tissues directly onto pre-manufactured parts.
  
  
• Blur the line between biology and engineering: Understand the shift from mechanical assembly to biomimetic growth.
  
  
• Reimagine manufacturing: Discover how entire robotic bodies can be designed and fabricated quickly, seamlessly, and effectively.
  
  
• Meet the architects of the future: Engage with the minds bridging the gap between soft robotics, bionics, and industrial automation.

In an era where hardware often lags behind software, Allonic is rewriting the rules of physical creation. By combining highly automated software with hardware that braids functional tissue, they are outputting fully functional robotic assemblies ready for actuation—bringing us closer to a future where the machines we build are indistinguishable from the biology they mimic.

Our Presenters:

BENEDEK TASI, CEO
Benedek’s passion lies at the intersection of robotics and biology, a journey that began with building his first anatomically inspired robotic hand during his undergraduate studies. He holds a background in bionics from PPKE ITK in Budapest and advanced robotics and biomechanics from Leuven, Belgium. He also conducted upper-limb prosthetics research at the renowned Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago. Currently the Head of the Prosthetics Lab at PPKE ITK, Benedek founded Allonic to bring this scalable, biomimetic production technology to the global market.

ZSOFIA NGUYEN, R&D Engineer
Zsofia is an R&D Engineer at Allonic specializing in soft robotics and algorithm development. An aspiring Computational Engineer, she holds a BSc in Molecular Bionics Engineering from the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics at Pázmány Péter Catholic University. She plays a critical role in developing the "brains" and "behaviors" that drive Allonic’s advanced soft robotic systems.

Join us for a glimpse into a future where robots are not built, but grown. Whether you are a roboticist, a sci-fi enthusiast, an investor, or simply curious about the incredible possibilities of tomorrow, this is an event you cannot afford to miss.

In-person attendance is limited. Reserve your spot today to be part of this exciting view into the future of robotics.

Hybrid in-person and video talk at 1737 N First St Suite 590, San Jose, CA 95112, on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at 7 pm.
