AI Meets Reality: From Algorithms to Autonomous Systems
Physical AI is leaving the lab – what does it take to make it work in the real world?
“AI Meets Reality – Testing the Future of Autonomous Systems” explores the journey from prototype to deployment, highlighting the critical role of testing, validation and collaboration in bringing safe and trustworthy autonomous systems into everyday life.
Hosted by LINA, a joint initiative of ZHAW, UZH, ZHdK and a growing network of industry partners, the event will showcase cutting-edge developments and prototypes, highlighting the journey from research to real-world deployment. Through inspiring talks, live demonstrations and an innovation fair, visitors will gain first-hand insights into how breakthrough ideas are tested, refined and translated into real-world impact.
