Robotics Crossroads SF: Exclusive Invite-Only Meetup

​Robotics and AI are evolving at an unprecedented pace. From Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language Agents (VLAs) to Physical Intelligence, new approaches are reshaping how robots perceive, reason, and act—and how we design autonomous systems.

​This unconference is a space to share, explore, and debate the latest developments, challenges, and emerging ideas in next-generation robotics. Whether you’re experimenting with cutting-edge systems, exploring new workflows, or imagining the future of autonomous intelligence, this is the space to connect, contribute, and learn from others in the field.

​We’re bringing together a select group of engineers, researchers, and enthusiasts in robotics and AI for an invite-only roundtable to exchange ideas and explore the frontiers of autonomous systems.

​There are no formal talks. The unconference is shaped by your ideas and questions—you can propose topics either when registering or at the start of the event, and together we’ll explore cutting-edge robotics concepts and applications.
