Years from now, someone, maybe your children or grandchildren might lean across the table, eyes wide, and ask:

“Wait, were you there when the robot revolution started? You actually saw the robot that printed its own arm and swapped its own battery?”

And you’ll smile, maybe sip your coffee for dramatic effect, and say,

“Yeah. It was 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona, during the AI Venture Network Showcase. That was the day TASKBOT came to life.”

Because that’s exactly what the AIVN AI/ML & Robotics StartUp & Innovation Showcase is shaping up to be, a moment you’ll always remember. An event hosted by the Artificial Intelligence Venture Network (AIVN) in partnership with REVOBOTS, featuring the North American debut of TASKBOT, the company’s AI-powered, 3D-printed humanoid robot driven by Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) technology.

This event brings together a curated crowd of founders, engineers, researchers, investors, and tech-savvy students to explore the future of AI-powered systems and robotics.

April 17, 2025, isn’t just another tech event on the calendar, it’s a livewire glimpse into what’s possible when you mix cutting-edge robotics, applied AI, and a room full of visionaries ready to flip the switch on the future.

At the center of this event is REVOBOTS, debuting TASKBOT, a 3D-printed robot built not to impress, but to help. It’s practical, adaptable, and ready for real work. TASKBOT can be equipped with different sensors and tools depending on the task, and its dual arms are precise enough to handle delicate operations at near-microscopic levels.

With each arm powered by its own processor, so instead of relying on one big brain, each arm would be able to think locally, much like an octopus. It learns by watching humans through Human-in-the-Loop training, improving over time without requiring massive AI infrastructure. The robot is also remotely guided by human operators to enhance its decision-making and execution. And because its parts are 3D-printed, it’s affordable to produce and easy to scale.

But TASKBOT is just the spark. What’s unfolding in Phoenix goes much deeper. The event will feature 15 exhibitors from research labs and startups to scale-ups and established companies offering unprecedented visibility into Arizona’s vibrant technology landscape.

Driving the momentum is Bill Swartz, the founder of AIVN. With a deep history of nurturing startup communities in Arizona, Bill has shaped AIVN into more than just an event. It is a growing movement built on vision, connection, and bold thinking. His commitment to AI and deep tech has made AIVN a go-to hub for founders, researchers, and investors alike, a place where ambitious ideas are not only welcomed, they are elevated.

Innovation Isn’t Just in Metal, Sometimes, It Starts with People.

In a room full of brilliant machines and bold ideas, it’s easy to get caught up in the buzz of hardware and automation. But DataGlobal Hub brings a different kind of innovation to the floor, one rooted in empowerment. While others focus on building the future of machines, we’re focused on preparing the people who will lead them.

At the event, we’ll be showcasing DataRango, our gamified learning environment designed to make data and AI skills more accessible, practical, and engaging for all.

And we’re going even further.

DataGlobal Hub will be awarding up to $39,900 in AI scholarships during the event, a clear commitment to lowering the barrier to entry for those ready to grow in this space. At our booth, attendees can also expect open mentoring sessions, where they’ll receive honest, actionable insights on how to land job roles at world leading AI and tech companies (Innov8ive Academy), the kind of advice that bridges the gap between learning and doing.

With the presence of Mojeed Abisiga, CEO and Co-founder of DataGlobal Hub, and Justin Lewis, COO and Co-founder, we’re not just showing up to talk about the future, we’re here to help build.
