Deploying Physical AI in the Real World w Skild AI, Dexterity, Weave Robotics & Instawork

​The real test of Physical AI isn't in the lab — it's in the field. Once robots are deployed, three things determine whether they scale: the data you collect, the operations that keep them running, and how fast you turn real-world lessons into better performance. Every hour in the field is a chance to learn — if you've built the loops to capture it.

​We'll dig into what teams are learning from real deployments: how field data gets collected and put to work, what day-to-day robot operations actually look like, and which lessons only show up once robots meet the real world.

​Join Savant and Instawork for an evening with these guest speakers:

• ​Robert Sun, founding engineer at Dexterity

• ​Rishabh Jangir, founding robotics engineer at Skild AI

• ​Kaan Dogrusoz, founder & ceo at Weave Robotics

• ​Gary Kagan, director, robotics at Instawork

​Topics will include:

• ​Data as the deployment flywheel — teleoperation, autonomous collection, and fleet learning that make robots better with every hour deployed

• ​Field operations in practice: uptime, human-in-the-loop support, interventions, and what it takes to run robots alongside real workforces

• ​Learnings from deployment — the failure modes, edge cases, and surprises that never show up in the lab

• ​Evaluation and deployment loops: measuring real-world robustness and closing the gap between lab benchmarks and field performance

• ​Where enduring value may accrue across data, evals, deployment tooling, and infrastructure

​This event is designed for robotics researchers, embodied AI founders, frontier lab builders, infrastructure teams, and investors actively thinking about the next generation of Physical AI.

​About the Host:
Savant is an early stage Physical AI fund & community of technologists embarking on good quests, ideas that are hard, consequential and civilizational-defining. We help top founders explore & start new companies in Physical AI through a powerful network of peers, a dedicated hardware lab, and founder-led support – often before we ever write a check. Together, let's move civilization forward!

Instawork is the leading AI-powered marketplace for hourly work, connecting businesses across hospitality, warehousing, retail, and manufacturing with a network of more than 10 million skilled, vetted workers. Through Instawork Robotics Lab (IRL), the company is opening the Physical AI economy to its workforce — with Pros collecting hundreds of thousands of hours of real-world task data every month for leading robotics labs, and certified robot technicians keeping deployed fleets running across 100+ markets. Instawork sits at the intersection of human labor and automation, powering the data, field operations, and deployment support that turn robots into reliable coworkers

​Nebius is a full-stack AI cloud built for teams training, deploying, and scaling advanced AI systems. Its infrastructure supports large-scale GPU workloads across training, inference, synthetic data, and Physical AI — making it especially relevant for builders working on simulation, robotics, and real-world deployment.
