First Croatian Humanoid Robot Tonka Takes the Stage in Biograd na Moru
Tonka joined Ivan Knez on stage in front of more than 1,000 citizens gathered in the city sports hall for the Day of the City of Biograd na Moru.
INTRO
Far more than a speech
Our first Croatian humanoid robot, Tonka, joined Ivan Knez on stage to address more than 1,000 citizens gathered in the city sports hall, a memorable moment for our team and for the city of Biograd na Moru. The appearance took place on the occasion of the Day of the City of Biograd na Moru.
It was far more than a speech. It was a demonstration of what the future can look like when technology meets community, tradition and people.
Tonka’s confident presence, natural interaction and warm engagement with the audience showed how humanoid robots can inspire curiosity, strengthen public communication and support human-centric public life rather than replace it.
TOGETHER
Building the future together
This milestone was made possible by Tonka and our whole team. We thank the city of Biograd na Moru for the warm welcome and for embracing the future with openness and vision.
For us, the appearance reflects a core belief: that the future is built together, with humanoid robots taking their place alongside people in community and public life.
