Powering Robotics: The Data Layer Behind Autonomy

Powering Robotics: The Data Layer Behind Autonomy brought together robotics and AI leaders to explore how high-quality data enables autonomy across humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, and embodied AI systems. Moderated by Mark Esposito, the panel featured Arian Sadeghi, Behrad Toghi, and Touraj Parang, focusing on themes such as why data is often the true bottleneck, how robotics data can be collected and validated at scale, and what the robotics data stack may need to look like over the next 3–5 years to safely move from demos to real-world deployment.
