/ About this event

AI has learned to write, reason, and code. Now it's entering the physical world. Join Opal AI in Santa Monica for an evening on Physical AI — the systems that let machines see, understand, and act in real environments. Spatial intelligence, computer vision, robotics, autonomy, digital twins, smart infrastructure, and real-world sensing. This isn't a panel. One live demo, then the evening is yours: founders building in physical AI, investors backing it, and the researchers and engineers working at the edge of it. Music, food and drinks throughout. Come if you're founding or investing in physical AI, robotics, autonomy, computer vision, aerospace, mobility, climate tech or infrastructure — or building anywhere at the intersection of AI and the physical world. Opal AI builds intelligence for physical environments, turning real-world sensing into actionable information. Founded by ex-NASA JPL scientists. Developed under NASA SBIR. This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
