3D & 4D Data: World Models, Robotics & Physical AI #NYTechWeek
What data takes physical AI from the lab to the real world?
Robotics and AI labs know the problem: physical AI has no internet-scale data corpus to learn from — a $73B data drought keeping robots stuck in the lab, bodies without brains, starved for the scalability and diversity needed to learn the physical world.
We’re putting on this high signal NY Tech Week event so teams can finally deploy autonomous machines that see, think, and act in our world.
