Physical AI: Demo or Die
Tue, 22 Sept 2026, 18:00
Lisbon, Portugal
Free
Originally organized by UB Robotics. Get ready for an evening where robots do the talking. UB Robotics and Técnico Venture Lab bring together the people building the physical AI space for a night of real hardware in action. The demo format is simple: teams get up and show their robots and physical AI systems live. If the bots die, so be it – no performative demos allowed... Expect honest conversations about what's hard in hardware, and where this field is actually headed, from the people building it day to day. Whether you're building robots yourself, working in AI more broadly, or just curious what's actually possible right now, this is a chance to see hardware firsthand. Join us at Fábrica de Pão in the Beato Innovation District.
