The Physical AI Frontier

Foundation models are moving from data centers into the physical world. This track goes deep on the architectural decisions, training approaches, and infrastructure investments that separate robots that actually work from ones that still live in demos.

SESSIONS INCLUDE

  • Foundation Models for the Physical World
  • Sim-to-Real: Closing the Gap at Scale
  • The Compute Stack Behind Next-Gen Robotics
  • What General-Purpose Robots Actually Require

The Humanoid Moment

We’re at the inflection point. Humanoid robots are moving from research labs into real workplaces — and the decisions being made now about hardware, embodiment, and deployment strategy will define the next decade of the industry.

SESSIONS INCLUDE

  • The Race to Commercial Humanoids
  • Hardware Breakthroughs That Changed the Game
  • Deploying Humanoids in Real Workplaces
