What’s next for humanoids, avs and AI hardware in 2025?
TechCrunch confuses 2025 It hit San Francisco’s Moscon West from October 27th to 29th, bringing together over 10,000 startups and VC leaders for three days of bold ideas, groundbreaking technology and future-style conversations. One of the most anticipated and most anticipated Sessions held in one of two AI stages We present live autonomous systems that shine a spotlight where AI hardware is heading for, pushing robotics and autonomous systems in real time.
In this session, two of the most visionary builders on the field, Raquel Urtasun and Jeff Cardenas, will take the stage to explore the current and future state of AI hardware. They unpack how they enable new applications across humanoid robotics and self-driving cars. Expect a live demonstrationsee deep technical insights and what it takes to move advanced simulation and embodied intelligence from concepts to real-world deployments.
Building the future, each one
Jeff Cardenas Co-founder and CEO of ApptronikA human-centric robot company that develops some of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots. Cardenas focuses on designing machines that work safely and intelligently with people through key partnerships with companies such as Google Deepmind, Nvidia and Mercedes-Benz. His mission is clear: to make robotics practical, capable and commercially viable.
Raquel UrbanFounder and CEO GuarIt is one of the most respected voices for autonomous driving technology. As a decorated researcher and entrepreneur, she builds a new generation of autonomous vehicle systems based on simulation and AI. Her work has gained recognition from Business Insider, as well as The Royal Society of Canada and The Business Insider, and her company has set new benchmarks on a scalable and intelligent AV platform.
Why this session is important
AI hardware is no longer just a technical foundation. The interface between intelligence and action. Whether it’s a robot that can operate in a human environment or an autonomous system that navigates the complexity of the real world, the next stage of AI depends on the hardware that can think, sense, and execute. This session examines the progress, challenges and breakthroughs that have shaped this frontier.
