Autonomous : The Future of Robotics & Physical AI on July 16, 2026 in California, United States

AUTONOMOUS is a premium robotics and physical AI conference taking place on July 16, 2026 in San Francisco, California, and the standout robotics event for the people who are actually building and funding the industry.

The robotics and physical AI industry is moving faster than most industries have seen, and the capital, talent, and decisions shaping it are increasingly concentrated among a small group of people driving it forward. AUTONOMOUS is built for that group: 500+ attendees across founders, engineers, investors, and enterprise operators, 50+ speakers across two stages and four content tracks, all in one day.

The Physical AI Frontier - Foundation models for robotics, sim-to-real at scale, and the compute infrastructure behind next-generation physical AI. What is actually possible today, and what the path forward demands.

The Humanoid Moment - Humanoids have moved from research labs to factory floors faster than almost anyone predicted. This track covers the hardware breakthroughs, the commercial deployment realities, and where the technology goes from here.

Building & Deploying Robots - The parts of building a robotics company that don't make it into pitch decks. Capital raises, enterprise sales cycles, pilot-to-production, and the operational decisions that separate companies that scale from those that stall.

Where the Money Goes - Where venture, growth, and corporate investors are placing bets in physical AI, what they're prioritising at each stage, and how the broader ecosystem — hardware suppliers, chip companies, simulation platforms — is being built around robotics adoption.

There are very few moments in an industry where the technology, the capital, and the people all converge at the same time. The future of physical AI is being built right now, come meet the people building it.
