Thank you for coming to The Deployment Moat. 300+ registered, 2 panels on putting robots to work.
Thanks @samanfarid @Juda_Chris @RLWRLD_ai @cyberneticphysx @Evan_Tao_T, @Scobleizer for opening, @Scav and @MissionRobotBay for hosting
8 lessons from the night:
7/ Every extra moving part is a liability
A 21-DoF hand worked in the lab and broke on day one on site. @ChestnutRobotic limits degrees of freedom on purpose. Sensors break first
8/ Narrow sites compound
At @RLWRLD_ai, each deployment feeds the model, so the same task starts near 90% next time, not 70%

btw you should come to this if you a) want to go very deep on deployments and also b) if you want to see me in a giant witch hat

Demos raise rounds. Robots still running in March build companies.
Is deployment the real moat in Physical AI?
