Deploy or Die: Why Robots Need the Real World
In a world flooded with polished demos and overpromises, it’s time to talk about what it really takes to build robotics that work—not in simulation or staged videos, but in messy, unpredictable human environments.
Join us for an evening at the intersection of deep tech and deployment. We’ll explore the challenges—and the breakthroughs—behind making physical intelligence useful today. From dexterous manipulation to embodied AI, we’ll unpack what separates research from reality, novelty from reliability, and hype from traction.
This session isn’t just about what’s possible in robotics—it’s about what’s actually working, and why the next generation of deep tech companies will live or die by their ability to deploy in the real world.
Expect insights, conversations, and maybe a few surprises along the way.
About the Host
This event is hosted by Tangible Robots, a robotics startup building robots meant for the real world—not just research labs. The core team of seven with deep experience in robotics and AI, including exited founder in the robotics space.
Tangible is building multi-purpose (not general-purpose) wheeled humanoid robots designed to thrive in complex, human-centric environments like hotels, homes, and offices. If you're an investor, builder, or operator curious about where embodied AI is headed—and how to make it useful today—this event is for you.
