The proposed live momentsCome for something
Come for something
you can actually see.
An unfamiliar task. A useful result.
A controlled demonstration that makes adaptation and limitations visible.
A brief becomes a working application.
Watch an agent build, test and explain its work, with human assistance disclosed.
From design to a physical component.
See how a manufacturing workflow moves from a drawing to production.
The breakthrough before the headlines.
A showcase for early prototypes, university teams and independent inventors.
Demonstrations and exhibitors are proposed. Autonomous, remotely operated and simulated modes will be identified. Higher-risk demonstrations require appropriate controlled facilities.
