AI Hardware Founder Mixer：Robotics & Intelligent Systems
Bringing AI to Life: Robotics & Intelligent Hardware
The next frontier of AI isn't just behind a screen—it’s moving into the physical world.
From humanoid robotics to edge-computing and intelligent sensors, the integration of AI into hardware is redefining our reality. But as every founder knows: Hardware is hard. It’s not just about models; it’s about supply chains, power constraints, and real-time inference in the wild.
This is a small, curated room for founders, engineers, and builders to talk about what actually matters in AI Hardware & Robotics.
No long keynotes. No marketing fluff. Just real conversations with people who are moving from "Digital AI" to "Embodied AI."
What this is: Come meet people working across robotics, smart devices, and AI infrastructure. Share what you’re building, debate the latest breakthroughs, and connect with fellow builders in a relaxed, high-density setting.
The highlight: The Open Mic The floor is yours. We’re hosting an open-mic session for anyone to share a unique insight, discuss a technical roadblock, or give a quick shout-out to what they’re building. It’s live problem-solving and brainstorming, not a panel.
What we offer
🤝 Hardware-First Networking: A room curated with founders and operators who understand the unique challenges of atoms vs. bits.
🎤 The Hot Seat! An open floor for builders to share their vision or where they're stuck, and the room jumps in with feedback and ideas.
🧠 Deep Insights: Compare notes on the shift to Embodied AI and what’s actually shipping in the next 12 months.
