Design Night is an events program at the Autodesk Gallery. At each event, guests explore a different theme — such as biomimicry, light, or robotics — that challenges the conventionally narrow definition of design. The theme is reflected in all aspects of the event, from the activities guests enjoy to the food they eat to the music they hear. The result is a fun and fascinating venue for exploration, networking, and the exchange of ideas.

On Thursday, April 4, 6-10 p.m., the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco will host another Design Night: Robots!, where we will explore the amazing world of robotics. From robots that vacuum floors and weld cars to those that diffuse bombs and fight cancer cells, the field of robotics has never been more exciting. So get your autonomous self over to Design Night and:
