About this event
Reasoning is becoming a core capability in AI, but most conversations stop at software. This event is for people who want to push that intelligence into the physical world, where agents need to perceive, plan, act, and adapt under real-world constraints. If you care about autonomy that does more than generate text on a screen, this is the room you want to be in. Hosted by Cosmos Labs, Build Reasoning Agents For Physical AI brings together people thinking seriously about how agentic systems can operate in embodied environments. Expect a practical, community-driven gathering centered on what it takes to build systems that can reason about action, environment, feedback, and failure when the stakes are physical, not just digital. About the Event This is an in-person event focused on the intersection of physical AI, autonomy, and reasoning agents. The emphasis is not on hype or vague futurism, but on the real challenges involved in building intelligent systems that interact with the world: decision-making under uncertainty, handling changing conditions, and designing agents that can connect perception to action. The event is designed for people who want substance. Whether you are actively building, researching, prototyping, or exploring this space, the goal is to create a setting where attendees can learn from the topic, pressure-test ideas, and connect with others working on similar problems. Because the focus is reasoning agents for physical AI, the conversation naturally sits at the boundary between AI systems and embodied autonomy. That makes this especially relevant for people interested in robotics, agent architectures, simulation-to-real workflows, world modeling, planning systems, and the broader future of autonomous machines. You should expect a format that supports both learning and interaction. Rather than treating the event as a one-way presentation, the value comes from being in the room with others who care about how intelligent systems behave outside controlled demos. What to Expect You can expect the event to center on the practical and conceptual building blocks behind reasoning agents in physical settings. That likely means discussion around how agents interpret context, form plans, adapt to new information, and make decisions when outcomes depend on real-world dynamics. The day will be most useful if you come ready to think in systems. Physical AI introduces constraints that pure software often avoids, including latency, sensing limitations, safety concerns, environment complexity, and the need for reliable action. This event is a good opportunity to explore how reasoning fits into that stack. Likely areas of focus include: Agent reasoning in embodied environments Autonomy and decision-making under uncertainty Planning, control, and action selection How physical context changes AI system design Challenges of deploying intelligence beyond the screen Open questions and emerging approaches in physical AI Because this is an in-person gathering, the conversations around the main content will matter just as much as the formal sessions. Expect opportunities to compare notes, ask deeper technical or product questions, and meet others approaching similar problems from different angles. Why Attend If you are trying to understand where AI is heading next, physical AI is one of the most important frontiers. A lot of current excitement around agents is still abstracted away from the real world. This event helps ground that conversation in the realities of embodiment, action, and autonomy. You will leave with a clearer picture of what reasoning means when an agent has to do more than produce an answer. In physical systems, reasoning has to connect to timing, movement, constraints, feedback loops, and consequences. That shift changes everything from system architecture to evaluation. This event is also valuable because of the people it is likely to attract. When a gathering is built around a focused topic like this, the room tends to include attendees who are already wrestling with adjacent problems. That makes it easier to have high-signal conversations, find collaborators, and sharpen your own thinking. Attend if you want to: Get smarter about reasoning agents in real-world environments Understand the technical and product implications of physical AI Meet builders, researchers, and operators in autonomy Pressure-test your assumptions with a relevant community Spot where the field is going before it becomes mainstream Practical Details Location: In person Date: Thursday, February 5 Time: 9:00 AM PST Because this is an in-person event, plan to be present for the full experience if you can. The biggest value often comes from the continuity of the conversations: hearing the main ideas, then unpacking them with other attendees in real time. If you work in AI, robotics, autonomy, or applied research, it is worth arriving with a clear sense of the questions you want to explore. The more specific your interests, whether agent architectures, physical deployment challenges, or decision-making frameworks, the more you are likely to get from the event. This gathering is best approached as both a learning session and a community touchpoint. Come ready to listen closely, ask sharp questions, and talk to people who are serious about building intelligence that operates in the physical world. If your attention is shifting from AI that predicts and generates toward AI that reasons and acts, Build Reasoning Agents For Physical AI | Cosmos Labs is a strong place to continue that transition.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want to understand how agentic AI moves from software-only systems into real-world autonomy. - You are a **builder, engineer, or researcher** working on robotics, autonomy, embodied AI, or adjacent systems and want sharper thinking around reasoning-driven behavior. - You are exploring **agent architectures** and want to understand how planning, memory, perception, and action change when the environment is physical rather than purely digital. - You work on **applied AI products or infrastructure** and want a better sense of where physical AI is headed, what makes it difficult, and what technical gaps still matter. - You are interested in **decision-making under uncertainty**, including how systems respond to incomplete information, dynamic environments, and real-world constraints. - You want to meet a **high-signal community** of people thinking seriously about autonomy, not just talking about it at a surface level. - You are curious about the future of AI beyond chat interfaces and want grounded conversations about what it takes to build systems that can reason and act in the world. If that sounds like the questions already on your mind, you will likely get a lot from being in the room.
