Exponential Momentum · A deep dive into physical AI

Physical AI Summit at MIT

Momentum is mass times velocity, and physical AI is compounding both.

On October 30, 2026, Imagination in Action, MassRobotics, and TEDxMIT, with The Engine and the MA AI Coalition, convene the people building it at MIT, where much of it was invented. An official event of Tough Tech Week, hosted by John Werner, Daniela Rus, and Tye Brady.

The central forum where vision becomes transformation, and the trajectory of the Intelligent Age is set. 

World Models · Robot Foundation Models · Simulation & Sim-to-Real · Hardware

How intelligence is built for the physical world: world models, robot foundation models, and simulation compounding capability with every training run.

Warehouses · Roads · Hospitals · Factories · Orbit

How intelligence is fielded: systems moving from pilot to fleet across logistics, mobility, medicine, manufacturing, and space.

Fleets · Feedback · Real-World Data · The Flywheel

Every machine in the world generates the data that trains the next model, and every model unlocks the next deployment. That loop is the exponent.

The Program

One day at the Samberg Center: a morning of training, a full-day summit, and live demos running throughout, indoors and out on the terrace.

Shape the Summit

Minds in Motion is new this year, and the program is being built in the open. Nominate a speaker, including yourself, suggest topics and formats, and tell us what you want to see on stage. The strongest speakers and demos earn a place at the Imagination in Action Summit in Davos in January 2027.

The Venue

The summit takes the top two floors of the MIT Samberg Conference Center. The 7th floor carries the main stage in the salons, with wraparound terraces for outdoor demos and views across the Charles. The 6th floor holds the training, breakouts, demos, and dining.

The room has history: this is the stage where IIA hosted Sam Altman, and home to the Women in Robotics Gala, which returns to the same floor on November 7.
