Autonomy in Motion: Drones, UAV, USV, UUV & Beyond
About this event
A Texas Physical AI Builders happy hour on autonomous unmanned systems — aerial, surface, and underwater vehicles plus autonomous supply chains — with an investor guest and a 60-second open pitch round.
Physical AI meets unmanned systems
Texas Physical AI Builders, together with Austin–San Antonio Entrepreneurs, convenes builders working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and machines that move through the physical world. This edition narrows in on autonomy in unmanned systems: UAVs and drones, uncrewed surface vessels, underwater vehicles, and the autonomous supply chains built around them.
The format is a happy hour rather than a lecture. The program includes an introduction of special guest Paul Yang of Governance Partners, a Tokyo-based VC/PE firm, and an open elevator-pitch round where anyone can take 60 seconds to present a startup or project to the investors in the room. David Cao, Founder and Partner of F50 and Texas Physical AI Builders, is also featured.
Builders across robotics, IoT, edge AI, and deep tech are welcome. Runs 4:00–7:00 p.m. at The Dogwood Domain, 11420 Rock Rose Ave. RSVP is free but required, as capacity is limited.
Organized by
A Texas community connecting founders, engineers, investors, and researchers working across robotics, intelligent hardware, edge AI, and embodied systems.
