​Physical AI Meetup Zurich

​Robots that work in a demo video are easy. Robots that work on a factory floor, in a warehouse or out in the real world are a different story. This evening is about the hard technical problems behind that gap, told by the engineers solving them.

​We are bringing together builders, researchers and founders from the Zurich robotics and physical AI scene for an evening of deep technical lightning talks, live demos and good conversations.

​🎤 Format

• ​2 to 3 technical lightning talks (15 minutes each), with live demos where possible

• ​Speakers share a real technical challenge they are working on for their company or customers, from perception and manipulation to voice AI for manufacturing

• ​Joint Q&A with all speakers

• ​Drinks & mingling with the Zurich physical AI community

​No sales pitches, no fluff. Just the interesting engineering.

​Speaker lineup to be announced soon.
