The world changed after ChatGPT launched in November 2022.
Robotics has grown slowly without a similar breakthrough moment.
Les Karpas, Nvidia Inception's Global Head of Physical AI, speaks at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.
He explains that no one has an internet-wide dataset for physical AI yet.
Self-driving cars built datasets through years of driving miles.
Startups use simulation and synthetic data to try this challenge.
Karpas joins founders from Shield AI, Colossal Biosciences, FieldAI, and Foxglove.
They discuss unique challenges on the Real World AI Stage.
Karpas coordinates Nvidia's relationship with robotics startups globally.
He worked at Stanley Black & Decker, iRobot, and Herman Miller before.
His background includes roles as an architect, engineer, CEO, and venture capitalist.
Attendees can learn how Nvidia sees the biggest bottleneck in physical AI.
The event runs October 13-15 at San Francisco's Moscone West.
Prices increase after September 25 unless you buy tickets now.
