Physical AI World Models Embodied AI Robotics
What happens when AI has to understand a changing environment-and act in it?
EPIC SF Physical AI Demo Night brings together researchers, founders, & investors exploring that question through world models, embodied intelligence, & robotics.
Join EPIC Connector in San Francisco during TechCrunch Disrupt week for an evening of live demos, research talks, & direct conversations with the people building AI for the physical world. Explore what teams can demonstrate today, how they're handling constantly changing environments, & the partnerships that could help them take the next step.
The Night
Show & Tell: Two kinds of stage time, back to back. Tight, focused, no filler.
Live Demos: Hand-picked Physical AI startups show real hardware, real models, & real deployments.
