NY TechWeek Events
All the best robotics events during #NYTechWeek
As robotics and embodied AI move from research into the real world, a new generation of software is emerging to power how machines are built, deployed, and scaled.
Join New York Tech Alliance and New York Robotics for an evening exploring the digital infrastructure behind physical systems — from simulation and autonomy stacks to developer tools, data pipelines, and deployment platforms.
With an amazing lineup of demo's and talks from:
- Sebastian Peralta, co-Founder @ mBodi
- Harry Mellsop, co-Founder @ Antioch
- Ayna Arora, CEO @ MorphoAI
- Ryan Eppley, CEO @ Root Access
- Yang Zhou, NYU PhD Candidate
- Tyler Raciti, Founder @ Volumes
- Brandon Shrewsbury, Viam
- Kit Gilbert, Head of Strategic Partnerships @ Niantic Spatial
- Pim de Witte, CEO @ General Intuition
As robotics and automation accelerate across industries, most conversations remain abstract and focused on technology capabilities rather than real world deployment.
Robotics adoption in U.S. manufacturing is accelerating. Nearly 400,000 industrial robots are now operating in U.S. factories, with tens of thousands added each year. At the same time, manufacturing continues to face a labor gap measured in the hundreds of thousands of open roles, with millions more projected this decade. But adoption is not the same as success. Most automation challenges do not fail at the level of technology. They fail on the factory floor, where people, process, training, safety, and operating constraints determine whether systems work or stall.
Humans + Robots & The Factory Floor brings together operators, robotics companies, and systems leaders to explore what happens when automation meets the real world of production. Join for a keynote from Paul Lavoie, America's Chief Manufacturing Officer, followed by a panel conversation with leaders from Persona AI, Standard Bots, Newlab, and more!
Stay for the networking and Newlab's infamous Critical Mass 5!!
The companies you see scaling aren’t doing it alone.
Behind every breakout startup is an entire layer of operators, vendors, and service providers quietly keeping things moving — from talent and capital to logistics, compliance, and everything in between.
This event brings together the builders and the backbone of the tech ecosystem: founders, operators, and the people powering growth from the sidelines.
Expect a high-signal, low-BS room of people who understand that building a company isn’t just about the product — it’s about the infrastructure that keeps it alive and scaling.
As robotics and embodied AI move from research into real-world environments, the challenge is no longer building impressive demos — it’s deploying systems that work reliably in production.
Gain insights from a panel with industry leaders including; Evan Beard (CEO, Standard Bots), Pim de Witte (CEO, General Intuition), Oliver Ortlieb (CTO, Ultra), and moderated by Ilir Aliu (Founder, 22Astronauts) the creative voice behind the Building Deep Tech podcast.
Learn from the team at Viam, working at the intersection of robotics, AI, and deployment, sharing practical lessons learned from the field.
Most pitch events focus on fundraising.
This one is focused on helping deep tech and robotics founders better communicate with the people who actually buy and deploy these systems — from plant managers and logistics operators to procurement and industrial teams.
Co-hosted with C10 Labs and Wells Fargo, the workshop features live founder pitches and candid feedback from investors, marketing experts, and real-world operators evaluating whether these stories resonate beyond the venture ecosystem.
