F50 Physical AI Summit — Austin 2026
From Factory Floor to Autonomous Fleet | December 3, 2026 | Commons Conference Center, UT Austin
Where the Autonomy Supply Chain Gets Built
Drones. UAVs. UUVs. USVs. Ground robots. Every autonomous fleet is only as strong as the supply chain behind it — the machining shops, precision component makers, sensor and semiconductor suppliers, battery and power systems providers, contract manufacturers, and materials companies that turn a prototype into a fielded fleet.
F50 Physical AI Summit — Austin 2026 is where that supply chain meets the OEMs, integrators, and investors who are actively sourcing it. This is the capital formation event for Physical AI in North America — and this December, the Autonomy Supply Chain is front and center.
The Autonomy Supply Chain Track
- Precision machining & castings
- PCBAs, connectors & actuators
- Sensors & semiconductors
- Battery & power systems
- Composites & specialized coatings
- Contract manufacturing
