Robotics and Edge Inference
We’re hosting the Robotics and Edge Inference Conference on April 25th, 2026. From the smallest microcontrollers to the most advanced Jetson-class modules, modern robots now run perception and policy on-device.
Conference Agenda:
12:00PM - 2:30PM: Robot showcase where founders, researchers, and companies will show off their latest robot prototypes and give workshops on robot and edge compute development. Full lunch, drinks, and snacks will be provided.
2:30PM - 3:30PM: The Future of Robot Learning where we'll hear from a panel of industry leaders in Austin on robot learning.
3:30PM - 4:00PM: Community Lightning Talks - hear 60 second presentations back to back from dozens of developers and community members with the explicit goal to explain a technical topic or share something interesting. Anyone attending the conference can sign up to give a Lightning Talk.
4:00PM - 5:15PM: Technical talks where our lineup of expert speakers will deep dive into edge computing and the frontier of field deployed AI and robotics.
5:15PM - 6:00PM: Networking and open discussion.
Expect deeply technical talks, live demos, and open Q&A.
Lunch, drinks, and snacks will be provided for all guests.
Feel free to sign up here on Luma or on our Meetup page.
Getting here: The Antler VC office is located in Downtown Austin. The most economical option is to take a rideshare. If you drive, there are many parking garages nearby including Omni Parking, 823 Parking, and Littlefield Garage.
Entering the building: On Brazos St., you’ll see a large sign labeled “P Brazos Place 800.” Enter the doors behind it and once in the lobby, turn right into the North Tower Elevators atrium. Walk straight ahead and you’ll find Antler’s double doors and our check-in table.
