From Robot Trials to Everyday Municipal Operations
How can municipalities turn robotic technology into practical solutions for everyday operations? On 11 November, GTM and the ARLI project invite municipalities to a workshop at Dokk1 in Aarhus to share experiences, explore opportunities and discuss the challenges of putting robots to work.
Robots in Action: From Potential to Practical Applications
Robots hold great potential for municipal services, but how do we move beyond testing and demonstrations to real world applications?
As part of the final phase of the ARLI project, Govtech Midtjylland and ARLI are bringing municipalities together to explore the current state of robotics in municipal operations and what it takes to make robotic solutions part of everyday work.
Drawing on experiences from Aarhus Municipality and other participants, the workshop will focus on practical applications, shared challenges and opportunities for future implementation.
What to expect
During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to:
-
Learn from practical experiences with robotics in municipal operations, including examples from Aarhus Municipality.
-
Explore existing robotic solutions and the barriers to wider adoption.
-
Discuss specific needs and challenges from your own municipality.
-
Exchange ideas and experiences with other municipalities on moving from trials to everyday use.
The workshop is designed for both employees working directly with municipal services and professionals involved in technology, digitalisation and development. Dialogue and knowledge sharing will be at the heart of the programme.
Practical information
- Date: Wednesday, 11 November 2026
- Time: 09:00–13:00 (subject to change)
- Location: Dokk1, Aarhus, Denmark
The final programme will be announced closer to the event.
Interested in participating?
Please contact Niels Schmidt Nielsen from GovTech Midtjylland to receive a calendar invitation to the workshop.
We look forward to bringing municipalities together to share knowledge and explore how robotics can become part of everyday municipal operations.
