Robotics Data & Commercialization explores one of the most important layers behind Physical AI: the data that powers real-world robotic systems, and how that data translates into deployment, products, and business value.

On October 6 in San Francisco, Physical AI Operators will bring together founders, engineers, operators, researchers, investors, and ecosystem partners working across robotics, embodied AI, data infrastructure, and commercialization.

We’ll explore topics including robotics data collection, data infrastructure, model training, simulation, deployment, industry use cases, and the emerging business opportunities around the Physical AI data stack.

Expect a mix of industry discussion, lightning talks, demos, and networking with people building and commercializing Physical AI in the real world.

📅 October 6, 2026🕡 6:30–9:30 PM📍 San Francisco
