The world hasn’t been the same since ChatGPT made its debut in November 2022, when out of nowhere, a means of engaging with large language models propelled AI beyond hype and into day-to-day reality.

Robotics, like AI, has been discussed, built upon, and in some ways adopted for a long time now, but it’s yet to have that big breakthrough moment. And at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Nvidia Inception’s Global Head of Physical AI, Les Karpas, will dive into why that is and what could change that in his session on the Real World AI Stage, Robots Are Waiting for Their ChatGPT Moment. Here Is What Is Standing in the Way.

After all, anyone who’s seen Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynotes the past few years knows the company is bullish about the robotics field. And you can get the opportunity to listen as Karpas details the limitations and opportunities in the AI and robotics spaces firsthand at Disrupt. From October 13-15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, you and 10,000+ tech leaders, founders, and investors can catch Karpas and the rest of our extensive AI-focused lineup, which ranges from building companies to building in the real world.
