Physical AI Conference Comes to San Jose as Robotics & Autonomous AI Go Mainstream
The Californer/10346802

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Californer -- The Physical AI Conference shaping the future of robotics, autonomous systems and real-world AI deployment lands in Silicon Valley on May 18-19 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, bringing together the engineers, builders and AI pioneers turning intelligence into physical action.

As AI rapidly moves beyond chatbots and software into robotics, autonomous systems and intelligent machines, the race is now on to operationalize Physical AI at scale.

From manufacturing and logistics to automotive and defense, organizations are investing heavily in AI systems capable of sensing, reasoning and acting in real-world environments. has been created to explore exactly how this transformation is happening.

The Rise of Physical AI

The next era of AI is physical. While software-based AI has transformed digital workflows, the next competitive leap comes from embedding intelligence into machines, robotics, autonomous systems and industrial operations.

Physical AI Expo will examine how organizations are deploying AI-powered systems into real-world environments, integrating intelligence into operations, and building infrastructure for AI that interacts with the physical world.
