KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Evan Beard
Classical robots automate the easiest 1% of repetitive, predictable tasks. The vast majority remains untouched: too varied, too random, too chaotic. Physical AI changes that.
In this keynote, Standard Bots CEO Evan Beard delivers a state of the state on AI-native robots that learn through hands-on demonstration instead of traditional programming and adapt to real-world variability in real-time, unlocking millions of new tasks for automation.
Complete with real world examples of physical AI deployed across shop floors, fulfillment centers, and more, Evan will share a clear-eyed look at what's real, what's next, why the automation market is about to expand by orders of magnitude, and how you can capitalize on the opportunity.
