NOVA Robotics & AI Community

This one-day conference brought together leaders from academia, industry, startups, and venture capital—alongside top students from Berkeley and Stanford—to explore the current state and future of robotics. Sessions highlighted emerging technologies, startup journeys from garage to scale, and the field’s potential to drive sustainability, climate solutions, and innovation.

In partnership with UC Berkeley’s IBI and DTIL, an invitation-only roundtable and dinner brought together academics, industry leaders, startups, and students to discuss strategic research and commercialization in Robotics and AI. The closed-door forum fostered candid dialogue and mentorship at the intersection of academia and industry.

This upcoming one-day conference will bring together academics, industry leaders, startup founders, venture capitalists, and policymakers—alongside top Berkeley students—to examine the latest in robotics, emerging trends, and opportunities for real-world impact.
