Announcing Actuate 2025.

The robotics industry is evolving faster than ever. From autonomous vehicles and warehouse robotics to delivery drones and agricultural platforms, we’re watching software merge with the physical world at unprecedented speeds. But as the frontier pushes forward, the need for shared knowledge and deep cross-industry collaboration has never been more important.

That’s why we’re bringing back Actuate — a conference by and for the engineers, developers, and builders shaping the future of autonomy and physical AI.

Last year, Actuate brought together 300 attendees for a packed one-day event in San Francisco. Thanks to the overwhelming demand of attendees and speakers, we’re expanding. Actuate 2025 will be a two-day event, welcoming 500+ attendees from across the robotics ecosystem.

Built for builders.

Actuate is crafted for technical people working on real-world systems—building fleets, commercializing robots, and navigating the complexity of autonomy at scale. It’s a place for developers to learn what’s working, what’s not, and how we can build better tools, processes, workflows and infrastructure together.

Across both days, you can expect:

• Technical deep dives from the teams behind leading autonomous systems.
• ‍Live demos and hands-on explorations of tools and workflows.
• Panels and conversations about shared challenges—from simulation and testing, to deployment and debugging.
• Plenty of hallway time for conversation, collaboration, and new connections.

Connecting the industry.

One of Actuate’s underlying goals is to break down industry silos. Robotics teams may work in different verticals, but the underlying challenges—perception, control, manipulation, and general product development—are strikingly similar.

By connecting people across verticals and surfacing lessons from the field, Actuate aims to accelerate the entire physical AI industry. Building the future of autonomy will require not just individual breakthroughs, but also a shared commitment to community and learning.

Now accepting Actuate 2025 speaker applications.

We’re now accepting speaker proposals for Actuate 2025 to round out our all-star line up of presenters. Whether you’re building a simulation stack, debugging a production fleet, or scaling a multi-modal data pipeline, we want to hear from you. Talks can be technical deep dives, tool stack showcases, system retrospectives, or case studies from the field. This is your opportunity to share your technical breakthroughs with an audience of robotics developers across many disciplines. 

If you’ve got a lesson that others could learn from, apply to speak — and help drive the industry forward.

Attend Actuate 2025.
