After generative AI, robotics is the topic of the moment – and, of course, the two can be combined. On May 21, 2026, Walder Wyss hosted a robotics event at Kraftwerk Zurich as part of its “Off the Record” series, beginning at 6:00 p.m. Friends and clients of the law firm were invited to attend. The discussion covered traditional service robots as well as general-purpose robots—and social robots. The panel featured Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel, a philosopher of technology and business information systems scholar who has been working extensively with chatbots, voice assistants, and social robots for decades, and Sylvia Stocker, CEO of Arabesque. The event was moderated by Ramona Wyss and Florian Gunz. Since May 27, 2026, photographs from the event have been available. They feature not only the speakers and moderators but also several of the robots present at the venue, including Unitree G1, Mars, and Pepper. In its corporate brochure, the law firm describes itself as follows: “We are a dynamic law firm with flat structures and a very friendly atmosphere. More than 300 legal experts make Walder Wyss one of the most successful Swiss commercial law firms. Our clients include national and international companies, publicly held corporations and family businesses as well as public law institutions and individuals.” (Photo: Walder Wyss)
