Robots On Rainey Street: A Night at CoRL 2026
Samsung Next, Radical Ventures, NVIDIA, and CoreWeave are taking over a spot on Rainey Street during CoRL for the people building the frontier of robot learning. This venue will hold the research, the capital and the compute that can take a robotics company from a paper to a product.
CoRL is the highest concentration of robot learning talent anywhere in the world, and a meaningful share of the companies that define physical AI have been or will be started by the people at this conference. We want to meet you early, before the deck, before it's obvious. If you're further along and actively raising, we love that too.
Come with the hard question you have been saving. You can get a straight technical read on what you're building and an honest conversation about the compute and capital it would take to push it further.
This is for you if:
You're a researcher seriously considering starting a company
You're already building a company in robotics, embodied AI or the infrastructure underneath it
You want real technical conversation
The whole place is ours, indoors and out, and food and drinks are on us. No panels and no pitches.
Requests to attend are reviewed on a rolling basis and approval is required. That is how we keep the mix right rather than just filling the venue. If there is someone who should be here, the best thing you can do is forward them this link.
See you in Austin!
