When Machines Learn to Move: Intro to Physical AI with Aaron Frank

The robots going viral on your feed are real. But so is the gap between what you're seeing in research labs and what's actually being deployed in the world today.

Physical AI — the extension of intelligent software into machines that move — is reshaping industries from logistics and manufacturing to agriculture, defense, and transportation. The question for business leaders isn't whether this matters. It's whether you understand it well enough to act.

In this conversation, Singularity Expert Aaron Frank breaks down what's actually driving the current wave of robotics breakthroughs, what the mainstream narrative gets wrong, and what it will take for organizations to make meaningful use of these machines.

You'll come away with a clearer picture of the technology landscape, a more honest view of the deployment challenges ahead, and a framework for thinking about where physical AI fits in your industry.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• The convergence of AI, robotics, and spatial computing powering this moment
• Why training data, not intelligence, is the defining bottleneck in robotics today
• The hardware realities most companies aren't talking about
• Why the hardest part of deploying intelligent machines has nothing to do with the technology
