Deploying Physical AI in the Real World w Skild AI, Dexterity, Weave Robotics & Instawork

Luma Event Link The real test of Physical AI isn't in the lab — it's in the field. Once robots are deployed, three things determine whether they scale: the data you collect, the operations that keep them running, and how fast you turn real-world lessons into better performance. Every hour in the field is a chance to learn — if you've built the loops to capture it. We'll dig into what teams are learning from real deployments: how field data gets collected and put to work, what day-to-day robot operations actually look like, and which lessons only show up once robots meet the real world. Join Savant and Instawork for an evening with these guest speakers: • Robert Sun, founding engineer at Dexterity • Rishabh Jangir, founding robotics engineer at Skild AI • Kaan Dogrusoz, founder & ceo at Weave Robotics • Gary Kagan, director, robotics at Instawork Topics will include: • Data as the deployment flywheel — teleoperation, autonomous collection, and fleet learning that make robots better with every hour deployed • Field operations in practice: uptime, human-in-the-loop support, interventions, and what it takes to run robots alongside real workforces • Learnings from deployment — the failure modes, edge cases, and surprises that never show up in the lab • Evaluation and deployment loops: measuring real-world robustness and closing the gap between lab benchmarks and field performance • Where enduring value may accrue across data, evals, deployment tooling, and infrastructure This event is designed for robotics researchers, embodied AI founders, frontier lab builders, infrastructure teams, and investors actively thinking about the next generation of Physical AI. ―――――――――― Agenda: • 5:30 PM — Doors Open + Light Bites • 6:15 PM — Welcome Remarks • 6:30 PM — Fireside Chat • 7:00 PM — Audience Q&A • 7:25 PM — Closing Remarks • 7:30 PM — Networking • 9:00 PM — End of event ―――――――――― About the Host: Savant is an early stage Physical AI fund & community of technologists embarking on good quests, ideas that are hard, consequential and civilizational-defining. We help top founders explore & start new companies in Physical AI through a powerful network of peers, a dedicated hardware lab, and founder-led support – often before we ever write a check. Together, let's move civilization forward! Instawork is the leading AI-powered marketplace for hourly work, connecting businesses across hospitality, warehousing, retail, and manufacturing with a network of more than 10 million skilled, vetted workers. Through Instawork Robotics Lab (IRL), the company is opening the Physical AI economy to its workforce — with Pros collecting hundreds of thousands of hours of real-world task data every month for leading robotics labs, and certified robot technicians keeping deployed fleets running across 100+ markets. Instawork sits at the intersection of human labor and automation, powering the data, field operations, and deployment support that turn robots into reliable coworkers Nebius is a full-stack AI cloud built for teams training, deploying, and scaling advanced AI systems. Its infrastructure supports large-scale GPU workloads across training, inference, synthetic data, and Physical AI — making it especially relevant for builders working on simulation, robotics, and real-world deployment. location provided by event source: "Mission District" ―――――――――― SF Stuff To Do
