TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 lands in San Francisco October 27-29 with over 10,000 startup and VC leaders. One of the AI Stage’s headliners will dig into the future of AI hardware with live demos from robotics and autonomous systems experts.
Raquel Urtasun, CEO of Waabi, and Jeff Cardenas, CEO of Apptronik, will take the stage to unpack the tech pushing humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles forward. Expect a live look at how AI hardware is evolving from simulation to real-world use.
Cardenas’s Apptronik focuses on making smart robots that work safely alongside humans. His company has teamed up with Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Mercedes-Benz to make practical humanoid robots a reality. 
Urtasun’s Waabi is setting new standards in autonomous vehicle tech using AI and simulation-driven systems. She’s well-recognized in the field, with nods from TIME and the Royal Society of Canada.
This session is a must-watch for anyone tracking AI hardware’s role in powering intelligent action through robots and autonomous systems.
