Who's in the room
Every company below sent people to AUTONOMOUS 2026: the labs building robot brains, the robot makers, the enterprises buying robots and the investors backing them. In 2027 the room grows to 1,500+ attendees from 1,000+ companies.
The labs building the brains for robots.
Where robots train before they touch the real world.
General-purpose robots and the hands they work with.
Driverless cars, trucks and freight.
Picking, sorting and moving goods at scale.
Arms, cells and factories that run themselves.
Autonomy on farms and jobsites.
Robots built for one job: delivery, drones, kitchens, stores, homes and labs.
The data that trains and tests physical AI.
The infrastructure and software robots are built on.
The eyes, ears and parts inside every robot.
Global companies scouting what to deploy next.
The funds backing the category.
Where the next generation of the field comes from.
The buyers
Robots only matter once they're deployed. AUTONOMOUS brings the operators and automation leaders from manufacturing, logistics, construction, agriculture, retail and beyond, the people deciding which robots go to work next, into the same room as the companies building them.
