/ About this event
A research salon for people building intelligence into the physical world.
Join a curated group of scientists, researchers, founders, engineers, and students for an evening exploring the most important ideas in physical AI.
We’ll begin with short, accessible discussions of leading research across scientific machine learning, robotics foundation models, neural simulation, embodied intelligence, and world models. Presenters will focus on what each paper makes possible—not simply summarize it.
After the paper club, we’ll move into a curated mixer and seated dinner designed to create conversations across disciplines.
