Nebius RoboTour — Connecting the Physical AI Community Globally
Physical AI isn’t theoretical. It’s being built right now by groups of researchers, engineers, and founders operating at the edge where simulation ends and reality begins.
The Nebius RoboTour follows our commitment to co-building the future with the brightest minds in local communities. We’re bringing together people building real systems and working through the challenges of hardware, data, simulation, and deployment in the physical world.
Each stop brings together researchers, founders, and investors for meaningful conversations, not presentations
The series will conclude with the second annual Nebius Robotics & Physical AI Awards, where we’ll will honor emerging startups from around the world with game-changing GPU credit grants on the Nebius platform.
