By Daniel DominguezArticle: Beyond Memory Safety: What Makes Rust Different – Lessons from Autonomous Robotics
This article explores that question through the lens of a real-world Rust project: a system responsible for controlling fleets of autonomous mobile robots.

The session will go beyond memory safety and explore ways to encode behavior and protocols directly into types.
