The wo kshop, scheduled fo Octobe 6, 2026 at the MassRobotics facility i Bosto , will give pa ticipati g sta tups di ect access to I tel e gi ee s, edge AI tech ologies, softwa e esou ces, a d p actical tech ical guida ce desig ed to help obotics develope s build, optimize, a d scale physical AI systems.
As obotics compa ies move f om p ototype to deployme t, they face i c easi gly complex tech ical dema ds a ou d eal-time AI i fe e ce, se so p ocessi g, wo kload co solidatio , powe efficie cy, softwa e po tability, a d scalable edge compute.
