Reinsurer Munich Re runs Knowledge Brew sessions to help clients think through emerging risks. On 11 August 2026 the topic was autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots and how they could change casualty liability. Rather than discuss humanoids in the abstract, the session had one in the room: Rocco stood alongside the presenters.
The Session
Brian Gao, Senior Underwriter, Casualty Treaty at Munich Re in Sydney, shared the session on LinkedIn. His post explored how autonomous vehicles and humanoids are changing the liability picture, and stressed that human judgment still matters. The post drew 78 reactions on LinkedIn. One attendee from Guild Insurance summed up the day as "Rocco stealing the show".
Why a Real Robot Helped
Insurance and risk conversations about robotics can feel theoretical. A Unitree G1 humanoid robot standing next to the presenter changes that:
- Clients see the real thing. Its size, weight and movement become concrete. Those details matter when you are thinking about who is liable if something goes wrong.
- It anchors the discussion. Presenters can point to a working humanoid rather than a stock image.
- People remember it. A robot on stage makes a technical client session memorable, which supports the relationship the session is meant to build.
Robots for Client Education and Briefings
Rocco isn't only for parties and expos. He suits professional settings where a topic benefits from a live example:
- Insurance, legal and risk briefings on robotics and AI
- Innovation and technology-strategy sessions for executives
- University, industry-association and board education events
The operator works with your presenters on timing, so Rocco can be introduced at the right moment and stay safely positioned while the discussion continues.
