AI Hardware Founder Mixer：Robotics & Intelligent Systems （Mandarin Only）
The next frontier of AI isn't just behind a screen—it’s moving into the physical world.
While the world obsesses over LLM benchmarks, a new breed of builders is tackling the "Hard" in Hardware. Moving from "Digital AI" to "Embodied AI" means solving for supply chains, power constraints, and real-time inference in the wild.
We are bringing together a curated room of founders, engineers, and investors to bridge the gap between Silicon Valley’s model innovation and Shenzhen’s supply chain velocity. No marketing fluff. Just real conversations on what’s actually shipping in the next 12 months.
🛠 Why Attend?
We’re diving deep into the Innovation Flywheel: How model evolution drives hardware recalibration, and how new sensor data (Eye-tracking, Iris, Multi-modal) creates the next generation of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Hardware-First Networking: Connect with those who understand the friction of atoms.
The Hot Seat (Open Mic): No boring panels. The floor is yours to share a technical roadblock, a unique insight, or a "shout-out" for what you’re building. Live problem-solving at its best.
Intelligence Briefing: Get first-hand insights on the "Always-on" AI era—from edge-computing trade-offs to the surge of Chinese robotics infrastructure.
