Introduction

This event is presented by MIT CSAIL Alliances and hosted in Palo Alto, California by Alliances member LDV Partners with DaVinci Cafe. 

CSAIL Alliances members, please join us for our 2nd annual Embodied Intelligence Summit. MIT CSAIL is a leading hub for embodied intelligence research, with the of understanding the nature of intelligent behavior in the physical world, through the study of human intelligence and the design and implementation of intelligent robots. We bring expertise in perception, sensing, language, learning and planning, and have the objective of integrating these disciplines to make physical agents with human-like intelligence.

In this engaging summit, dive deep with talks from four leading MIT CSAIL faculty members

  • CSAIL Director Professor Daniela Rus: Physical AI
  • CSAIL Associate Director Professor Armando Solar-Lezama: Programming with AI Beyond Vibe Coding
  • Associate Professor Phillip Isola: Language as a Camera
  • Associate Professor Vincent Sitzmann: Modeling the world (and yourself) from vision

Additionally, hear from the head of LDV Partners and bring questions for two compelling panels featuring startups and industry, moderated by LDV Partners.  Panel conversations will dive into how companies are turning raw multimodal inputs (vision, movement, biometric signals) into actionable intelligence as well as exploring advances in manipulation, assistive systems, and humanoid platforms for real-world impact.

Meet CSAIL Alliances startups Leela AI, Dexmate, and Autonomous Living Technology, and Liquid AI, as well as K-Scale Labs, RealSense, and Waymo.

 

There will be networking opportunities during breakfast and lunch.
