UB Robotics, Técnico Venture Lab, Unicorn Factory and Startup Leiria are hosting the second edition of "Physical AI: Demo or Die" in Lisbon's Beato Innovation District during Web Summit, after a sold-out first edition.
- Format: teams demo robots and physical AI systems live — if the bots die, so be it; performative pitches are strictly banned
- The event aims to show what's actually hard in hardware and where the field is headed, from builders themselves
- Held at Fábrica de Pão; registration requires host approval, schedule TBA
