Meet our #EON2026 keynote speakers: @RussTedrake, @samanfarid, and Les Karpas. Russ co-founded @WaldenRobotics, which recently emerged from stealth announcing $300 million in initial financing. Previously he served as Senior Vice President at Toyota Research Institute where he pioneered large behavior models, robotic learning, and dexterous manipulation. Saman is Founder and CEO of @goformic, a robotics-as-a-service company helping U.S. manufacturers deploy automation at scale. Previously, he led Baidu Ventures’ $600 million global investment fund and founded Comet Labs, an AI-focused fund and incubator. He now serves as an investor or board member for more than 25 robotics, technology, and AI companies. Les is the Inception Global Head of Physical AI at @nvidia and an EON Advisory Board member. He is building his session around a central question: How do we turn human experience and simulated worlds into robots that perform useful work reliably? Join them at EON this November 11-12 in Santa Monica for conversations, connection, and discussions exploring how AI is moving from bold ideas to real-world implementation. eon.events
