About this event
RoboBusiness 2025 is where the robotics industry gets practical. If you want a clear view of where commercial robotics is heading, from Physical AI to humanoids to the companies bringing new systems to market, this is the room to be in. This year’s event brings together a broad cross-section of the robotics ecosystem at the Santa Clara Convention Center for a program built around real business, product, and technology conversations. With six conference tracks, 60+ speakers, a startup workshop, Pitchfire competition, and 100+ exhibitors, RoboBusiness 2025 is designed for people who want substance, not hype. About the Event RoboBusiness 2025 is an in-person industry event focused on the business of robotics and the technologies shaping its next phase. The 2025 edition expands its scope with new tracks dedicated to Physical AI and Humanoids, reflecting two of the biggest areas of attention across robotics, automation, and embodied intelligence. The event is built as a multi-format experience rather than a single-track conference. You’ll be able to move between conference sessions, explore the exhibition floor, hear from a large speaker lineup, and spend time with startups and established companies working across the robotics landscape. A major part of the value is the range of perspectives in one place. RoboBusiness brings together the people building robots, the people buying and deploying them, and the people funding and enabling the category. That makes it useful whether you are evaluating new technologies, looking for partners, tracking competitors, or trying to understand where the market is going next. It is also co-located with DeviceTalks West, which adds even more cross-industry energy to the week. For attendees working at the intersection of robotics, hardware, devices, and intelligent systems, that proximity can create more opportunities for relevant conversations and discovery. What to Expect The conference program includes six tracks, giving attendees multiple ways to tailor the day around their priorities. The addition of Physical AI and Humanoids signals a strong emphasis on embodied intelligence, real-world deployment challenges, and the systems-level thinking required to move from demos to usable products. Across the agenda, you can expect sessions and discussions shaped by a speaker lineup of more than 60 participants. That scale creates a program with enough breadth to cover strategic, technical, and commercial topics, while still giving attendees the chance to focus on the themes most relevant to their work. On-site, the event experience goes beyond seated talks. Highlights include: 100+ exhibitors showcasing robotics products, platforms, components, and solutions A startup workshop for founders and early-stage teams looking for practical guidance The Pitchfire competition, which adds a live look at emerging companies and ideas Time to meet teams in person, ask direct questions, and compare approaches across the market Because the event is in person, the exhibition and hallway conversations are likely to be as useful as the formal sessions. RoboBusiness is well suited to people who want to see what companies are actually building, understand how categories are evolving, and have real discussions with operators, founders, engineers, and decision-makers. Why Attend If you work in robotics or adjacent sectors, RoboBusiness 2025 offers a fast way to get current. Instead of piecing together updates from scattered news, product pages, and online commentary, you can spend concentrated time with the companies, technologies, and trends shaping the field right now. The new Physical AI and Humanoids tracks make this year especially relevant for teams thinking about perception, manipulation, autonomy, embodied models, and the practical realities of deploying intelligent machines in the physical world. These are areas attracting serious attention, but they also raise serious questions about readiness, performance, integration, and business value. An event like this helps attendees pressure-test what is real. RoboBusiness is also valuable for networking with purpose. This is a place to: Discover vendors, partners, and potential customers Meet startups before they are widely known Compare competing approaches side by side Learn how others are thinking about deployment, commercialization, and scale Leave with a sharper sense of where to invest time, budget, and attention For founders and startup teams, the workshop and Pitchfire elements add extra relevance. For corporate teams, investors, and ecosystem partners, the exhibitor base and track structure make it easier to identify the people and companies most aligned with your goals. Practical Details Location: In person at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, USA. This is a venue built for large professional gatherings, making it a strong fit for a conference-plus-expo format where attendees will likely move between sessions, exhibitor booths, and meetings throughout the day. Timing: Wednesday, October 15 at 12:00 AM UTC. If you are planning travel or coordinating with colleagues, it is worth converting the listed time into your local time zone in advance and reviewing the broader event schedule once available. Because RoboBusiness is a live, in-person event, it is best approached with a plan. Consider which conference tracks matter most to you, which exhibitors you want to meet, and whether the startup workshop or Pitchfire competition should be part of your day. If your work touches robotics, intelligent machines, physical AI, hardware systems, or commercialization, RoboBusiness 2025 is a strong place to spend focused time. It brings together market visibility, technical discussion, startup energy, and practical business context in one setting.
