Learn about the latest advances in physical AI at the Robotics Summit

Artificial intelligence has been a dominating topic inside and outside of the robotics industry in recent years. The integration of AI with hardware, known as physical AI, enables autonomous machines to perceive, understand, and perform complex actions in the real world. The 2026 Robotics Summit & Expo, scheduled to take place on May 27 and 28 in Boston, will showcase the latest developments in physical AI.

The event, produced by The Robot Report and WTWH Media, will feature an entire session track dedicated to AI. With over 50 sessions across various tracks, including artificial intelligence, design and development, enabling technologies, healthcare, and logistics, attendees will have ample opportunities to learn from industry experts. The Engineering Theater on the show floor will host presentations by more than 70 speakers from prominent companies such as Fictiv, Harmonic Drive, maxon, PickNik Robotics, RealSense, Robust AI, Tesla, and Toyota Research Institute.

This comprehensive lineup of speakers and sessions will provide valuable insights into the latest advances in physical AI and its applications. In addition to the technical sessions, the Robotics Summit & Expo will offer several networking opportunities. These include a Mix & Mingle Networking Reception after the first day of the show and the ticketed RBR50 Awards Dinner.

The event is co-located with DeviceTalks Boston, which focuses on medical devices. Registration is now open for the Robotics Summit & Expo, the world's leading technical event for commercial robotics developers. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the latest developments in physical AI and its potential to transform industries.
