Physical AI Room: From Simulation to Real Systems
An invite only, small gathering of people building in Physical AI, including robotics, embodied intelligence, simulation systems, and real-world deployment.
The "Anti-Hype" Zone
Most conversations about Physical Al stay in the simulation. We're interested in what happens when the code hits the concrete. This is an invite-only gathering for builders navigating the
"Brittle Last 1%"-the gap where simulation fails and real-world entropy takes over.
No polished stories. No pitch decks. Just a room of people talking about what's actually breaking.
The Discussion: Mind & Body
We'll spend the evening in a structured conversation around the two pillars of embodied systems:
• The Mind: Featuring Srini Pagidyala (Aigo.ai). We're diving into why "reactive" robotics fail in the real world and how Cognitive Architectures bridge the reasoning gap.
• The Body: A guided group discussion on the friction of physical scaling-from manufacturing bottlenecks to the hard truth of unit economics.
We’ll spend the evening in a structured conversation around what people are building, what is currently breaking in practice, and the gap between simulation and real world systems.
The intention is to create a space where people can speak openly about both progress and constraints — what’s working, what’s not, and what remains unsolved.
Format (6:00–8:00 PM):
• 6:00–6:30 — arrival + informal networking
• 6:30–7:30 — guided builder discussion (what you’re building + current challenges)
• 7:30–8:00 — open conversation + connections
Who you’ll meet:
People actively building in Physical AI — robotics founders, engineers, applied researchers, and operators working on real-world deployment and embodied systems.
This is intentionally small and curated to keep the conversation high-signal, technical, and grounded in real building experience.
Capacity is limited.
