From humanoid robots and autonomous machines to smart factories and intelligent sensors, AI is no longer confined to chatbots and dashboards - it's learning to sense, move, and act in real environments. In this edition of #VTJTalks, we will explore the dawn of the Physical AI era and how it will reshape industries, workplaces, and everyday life. Bringing together perspectives on AI, hardware, and real-world engineering, this conversation unpacks the technologies bridging the digital and physical worlds - and what leaders, builders, and innovators need to know to stay ahead. What we'll get into: Physical AI 101 — How robotics, sensors, and AI are fusing into intelligent machines that sense, move, and act. From lab to real life — What it actually takes to move Physical AI from prototype to the field, across industries. The hard parts — The technical, ethical, and safety hurdles that'll decide how fast this era unfolds. Get future-ready — Practical moves for builders, businesses, and pros to stay ahead as intelligent machines go mainstream. SPEAKERS TBA SOON...Stay Tuned! Thank you to our core partners!
