Physical AI Investment Summit 2027
Physical AI Investment Summit (PAIS) brings research, industry, capital, and talent together to accelerate the commercialization of Physical AI. It’s a meeting point for people advancing the technology and those turning it into products, companies, and real-world applications.
Explore what robots can do, where customers see value, and what it takes to move from a promising prototype to repeatable deployment. Connect with people who can bring a different perspective to your next research, engineering, or investment decision.
Where technology meets investment
The program is taking shape around keynotes and technical talks, panel discussions, company showcases, robotics demonstrations, and conversations across fields.
We’re bringing technical and commercial questions into the same room: how models learn to act in the physical world, which applications solve meaningful customer problems, and how robotics companies build a business that can scale. Research insights, deployment experience, and investor perspectives will inform one another throughout the conversation.
Six focus areas
Humanoid Robotics — where humanoid form creates value, and what makes it practical.
Embodied AI and Foundation Models — robot learning, model architectures, and generalization.
Industrial Robotics — integration, reliability, and the economics of deployment.
Robotics Investment — business models, defensibility, capital efficiency, and scale.
Physical AI Infrastructure — data, simulation, evaluation, and computing.
Future of Robotics — autonomy, human–robot interaction, and emerging applications.
Conversations worth continuing
PAIS is designed for researchers, robotics founders, engineers, investors, industry leaders, and emerging technical talent. Bring a question, a project, or a perspective. Meet potential collaborators, compare what you’re working on, and explore partnerships that can move it forward.
We’d love to have your perspective in the room. Speakers and the detailed agenda will be announced as they are confirmed.
Banquet (by invitation)
PAIS will also host an invitation-only banquet. Seating is limited, and invitations are sent directly to selected guests. Banquet registration is separate from full-day summit admission.
Organized by SESE
SESE — the Society of Engineers, Scientists, and Entrepreneurs — connects engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs across universities. PAIS is an annual forum within SESE’s longer-term work in Physical AI.
