Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Cirtronics Brings Commercialization Discussion to Robotics Summit & Expo 2026
May 14, 2026 | CirtronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Cirtronics, a leading electronics contract manufacturer specializing in complex robotics systems, will sponsor and lead a featured panel discussion at the 2026 Robotics Summit & Expo, taking place May 27–28 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston.
As physical AI and intelligent robotics move rapidly toward real-world deployment, the industry faces a growing challenge: scaling innovation into manufacturable, deployable systems. Cirtronics is bringing that conversation to the forefront through a panel focused on robotics commercialization, manufacturing scale, supply chain readiness, and operational execution.
Featured Panel Discussion:
“Robotics Commercialization: Beyond the Breakthrough“
Wednesday, May 27th | 11:30 AM | Room 253 ABC
The discussion will explore the operational realities robotics companies face when transitioning from prototype to production, including:
- Scaling from prototype to production
- Supply chain and manufacturing readiness
- Physical AI and accelerated robotics development
- Regulatory and deployment challenges
- Building end-user trust and adoption
The panel will be moderated by Jennifer Apicella, Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Robotics Network, and includes Dave Petrosky (CEO, RedZone Robotics), Dr. David Galati (CTO, Titan Robotics), and Dr. John G. Blitch (President, Blitz Solutions LLC).
“The robotics industry has no shortage of innovation. The challenge today is operationalizing that innovation at scale,” said Pat Moody, CEO & President of Cirtronics. “This panel brings together leaders who understand what it takes to transition robotics from promising technology into dependable, manufacturable systems.”
Visit Cirtronics at Booth #513
Attendees are invited to visit Cirtronics at Booth #513 to discuss robotics manufacturing, commercialization strategy, supply chain resilience, and scalable U.S.-based production support for complex electromechanical systems.
