26 days until #Actuate26! Excited to have Cheng Chi, Co-Founder & CTO at Sunday, as a speaker this year! During his PhD at Columbia and Stanford, Cheng invented Diffusion Policy — a manipulation learning framework that outperformed every prior method by 46.9% across benchmarks and has since become foundational across the robotics industry. At Sunday, he is building Memo, a home robot trained via human-worn skill capture gloves that collect natural dexterous demonstrations, creating a data flywheel that compounds with every household deployment. Space for this year's Actuate is limited.

Actuate 26 attendees — gear up! UFB - Ultimate Fighting Bots is bringing UFB Robot Fight Night to Actuate. Ultimate Bots take center stage on night one of #Actuate26. Grab a drink, a bite to eat, and gather around the cage for an action-packed evening. Want to pilot one of the robots during the fight? Re-share this post and comment "Fight!" — we'll reach out to a select few to take the controls in one of the featured matchups.

Excited to talk about Physical AI in manufacturing at #Actuate26

27 days until #Actuate26! Excited to have Abhinav Das, Co-Founder & CEO at Orangewood, as a speaker this year! A serial entrepreneur with a background in autonomous vehicle engineering, Abhinav co-founded Orangewood Labs through Y Combinator to democratize access to robotic arms for small and medium businesses. Orangewood built the world's first commercially available generative AI-powered robot arm, allowing anyone to reprogram a robot with a plain-language text or voice prompt — making industrial robotics accessible to businesses that couldn't previously afford the integration costs. Space for this year's Actuate is limited.

28 days until #Actuate26! Excited to have Fred (Federico) Parietti, Co-Founder & CEO at Multiply Labs, as a speaker this year! Fred earned his PhD in robotics from MIT studying supernumerary robotic limbs before co-founding Multiply Labs to tackle one of the most overlooked automation gaps: cell and gene therapy manufacturing, which is still done almost entirely by hand. Multiply Labs' robotic clusters use imitation learning to replicate expert scientists' techniques with sub-millimeter accuracy 24/7, delivering a 74% cost reduction and zero contamination compared to manual production — and are now deployed with partners at UCSF and Stanford.

The challenge isn't building a robot that works once. It's scaling from one robot to thousands, from simple tasks to complex autonomy, and from demos to production-grade reliability. That's the conversation happening at #Actuate26. Join engineering leaders from Wayve, Aurora, Physical Intelligence, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, Shield AI, Zipline, Saronic Technologies, Bedrock Robotics, Multiply Labs, Dyna Robotics, Generalist, Genesis AI, and more as they share how they're solving the hardest problems in robotics.

29 days until #Actuate26! Excited to have Jason Ma, Co-Founder at Dyna Robotics, as a speaker this year! A former research scientist at Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Meta, Jason built his career developing foundation models for robotics before co-founding Dyna. Dyna's DYNA-1 foundation model runs fully autonomously for 24-hour production shifts with a 99.4% success rate, and the company raised $120M Series A to scale general-purpose dexterous robots across food service, hospitality, and manufacturing.
