Dec.19_09:30_Physical AI【 NVIDIA・Boston Dynamics・Unitree!】

The big bang of generative AI for the physical world has arrived. Physical AI, models that can understand and interact with our physical world, will transform semiconductor fabs into intelligent, software-defined factories that continuously learn and optimize. This session shows how leading manufacturers and independent software vendors use NVIDIA Omniverse applications and libraries to build robotic factories and true-to-life fab digital twins that unify real-time simulation, process optimization, and collaborative planning. Attendees will learn how these GPU-accelerated, simulation-first workflows compress design and ramp cycles, increase yield and throughput, and help power the next wave of industrialization in semiconductor manufacturing.

Humanoid robots have long captured our imagination. Interest has skyrocketed along with the perception that robots are getting closer to taking on a wide range of labor-intensive tasks. What is driving this vision is not a preference for the human form but a recognition that humans are generalists—adaptable, quick to learn, and effortlessly retaskable. Join us as we look not just at humanoids but all of Boston Dynamics Robots and how AI is accelerating the digital transformation from factories to our homes.

As a leader in agile robotics, Unitree Robotics exemplifies the critical role of physical robots as the foundation for embodied AI. While algorithms and simulations propel intelligence, it is through advanced hardware like Unitree's quadruped and humanoid robots that AI truly learns to perceive, adapt, and interact within the complex physical world. The company's deployment of robots in diverse real-world scenarios—from industrial inspection to public demonstrations—provides the essential bridge between theoretical AI and robust, applicable intelligence, proving that physical embodiment is indispensable for closing the simulation-to-reality gap and achieving authentic autonomous capabilities.

Dr. Hoshina, Data & AI Lead and AI Center Lead, Accenture Japan, will present the fundamental impact of Physical AI on industrial structures. Drawing on domestic and global case studies from Accenture, he will explore the new value Physical AI creates. The session will explore how industrial structures are being reshaped in the era of Physical AI, examining both technological foundations and strategic business imperatives, and will deliver actionable insights for organizations aspiring to global leadership in this transformative domain.
