AutomotiveIn partnership with ipXchange
Day 1 Robotics · Day 2 Automotive
Not a sales pitch. A high-traffic technical zone where design engineers bring real project roadblocks to experts across Edge AI, motor control, RISC-V architecture, and industrial-grade prototyping — at the heart of the show floor.
Day 2 · Automotive
Austin, TX
Live Demos
Edge AI & Intelligence
Implementing real-time decision-making without cloud latency. Featuring Edge Impulse as headline partner — from model training to on-device inference on constrained hardware.
Industrial-Grade Prototyping
Moving from maker boards to industrial scale. Using Arduino Pro and R2 Labs to bridge the gap between proof-of-concept and 1,000-unit deployment.
Architectural Efficiency
Leveraging RISC-V and high-performance semiconductors to manage power-constrained robotic systems — from ISA design to real power budgets.
Sensor Fusion & Connectivity
Integrating photonics and IoT protocols so robots see and communicate reliably in harsh environments — from LiDAR integration to wireless mesh architectures.
How the Day is Structured
Technical Deep Dives
20-minute rapid-fire sessions where partners present a specific solution to a common design bottleneck — from schematic review to silicon selection. No fluff, just engineering.
Open Office Hours
Book 1-on-1 sessions with lead engineers from our 5 partner companies. Bring your schematics, component questions, or system architecture challenges and get direct expert input.
Live Demonstrations
Real-world robotics and automotive applications in action — showing the full journey from silicon to functional machine, including autonomous navigation and edge vision systems.
Powered by the Ecosystem
A curated group of 6 partners selected from across the embedded value chain — providing hardware and software expertise from silicon to deployment.
What You'll Take Away
Solve for Scale
Learn exactly how to move from a lab prototype to a 1,000-unit industrial rollout — with engineers who've solved it before.
Access the Ecosystem
Get direct access to the engineers behind the tools you use every day — Edge AI, RISC-V, industrial connectivity, and more.
Solve Real Problems
The premier opportunity to tackle your actual design blockers in real-time — with experts, not sales reps, on the show floor.
