Model to Machine — The Builder Session for Physical AI Infrastructure
Model to Machine
A Builder Session on Physical AI Infrastructure
A closed-door gathering of founders, engineers, operators, and researchers building the infrastructure layer powering Physical AI in India.
From robots on factory floors and vision systems on assembly lines to autonomous vehicles in warehouses, the next wave of AI is moving beyond software and into the physical world. The challenge is no longer proving that AI works. It is building systems that can operate reliably in complex, unpredictable, real-world environments.
The questions facing builders today are fundamental:
Is embodiment a prerequisite for general intelligence, or merely one interface among many? Could a sufficiently capable disembodied intelligence generalize across arbitrary physical form factors, making embodiment largely irrelevant?
Is the future of robotics a general-purpose humanoid that adapts to the human world, or a collection of highly specialized machines optimized for specific tasks?
Is the robotics generalization problem fundamentally a data problem, or are there deeper limitations in current architectures and learning paradigms?
Session Format:
Unlike traditional conferences, this is a working session designed for practitioners.
🏭 Live Product Demonstrations
3-4 startups building at the frontier of Physical AI will demo working products and prototypes, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how these systems are designed, deployed, and operated.
🔧 Technical Deep Dives
Open discussions on the realities of building Physical AI: edge deployment, reliability, infrastructure, robotics stacks, computer vision, model orchestration, and operating in demanding industrial environments.
🤝 Perspectives from Operators
Founders and leaders from scaled Physical AI companies will share lessons from the field, hard-won insights, and the challenges they believe will shape the category going forward.
