- Encord's Long Horizon Physical AI Summit has assembled an unprecedented lineup of embodied AI leaders.
- Speakers include Sebastian Thrun (Google X founder, led the project that became Waymo), Google DeepMind robotics VP Parada, Skild AI CEO Deepak Pathak, Wayve CEO Alex Kendall, Physical Intelligence co-founder Quan Vuong, Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot behavior director, and Amazon Robotics CTO Tye Brady, plus Ken Goldberg, Rodney Brooks, and Qasar Younis.
- The thread frames the event as a rare collision between humanoid builders, autonomous-driving teams, foundation-model labs, and industrial robotics companies with very different bets on data, simulation, and hardware.
