Six days on from STATION F (@joinstationf) , the room is still talking.
MACHINA Summit 2026 was not a conference. It was the moment Physical AI got its stage, its category, and its shared week of the year.
2,700+ attendees. 85+ speakers. Over $6 trillion in combined company value in one room, for one day at Station F in Paris. @BostonDynamics , @GoogleDeepMind , @1x_tech , @Apptronik , and @nvidia on stage. 20+ robots and humanoids walking the floor. The All-In Podcast in the building. A French government minister on the mic, calling Physical AI the last great chance for Europe to build something that matters to the world.
The signals since Monday have proven the room right. Founders reporting the meetings they booked on the floor. Investors returning to term sheets that started as introductions in a corridor. Operators lining up pilots with the suppliers they finally met in person. Every conversation the industry has been waiting for, still compounding, six days later.
The next era of AI will not just generate. It will execute.
See you in 2027.

MACHINA Summit 2026 is a wrap. And the physical AI world will not stop talking about it.
2,200+ attendees, 85+ speakers, and over $6 trillion in combined company value on one stage, in one room, for one day at Station F in Paris.
Leaders from @BostonDynamics , @GoogleDeepMind , @1x_tech , @Apptronik , and @nvidia took the stage; 20+ robots and humanoids walked the floor; the All-In Podcast was in the building; and a French government minister called physical AI the last great chance for Europe to build something that matters to the world. And he was right.
This was not a conference. This was the moment physical AI got its room. Europe showed up, the industry showed up, and the conversations that happened at Station F today will echo through boardrooms, labs, and investment committees for years to come.
Physical AI just got its summit. And this is only the beginning.
None of this was possible without the companies that backed MACHINA for its very first edition. A massive thank you to our sponsors: @SchaefflerGroup , @nebiusai , @encord_team , @CentificGlobal , @Uber AI Solutions, @LimX_Dynamics , @AltBionics , Inc., @Synopsys , Bright Data, @LightwheelAI , @PathRobotics , Voltai, @MinervaHumanoid , @Stereolabs3D , @AGIBOTofficial , @UnitreeRobotics , @NYSEWired , @InfiniteFoundry , @EnchantedTools , Synapticon, @kickmaker_com , Crestmont Investments, @AllonicRobotics , @tronkk_japan , @wandelbots , @Allianz Accelerator, and @GoogleDeepMind Accelerator. You believed in this before anyone else did. That means everything.
The next era of AI will not just generate. It will execute. And MACHINA will be the room where that future gets built, year after year.
See you in 2027.
The best measure of a summit is not what happens on stage. It is what the room says walking out.
The word we heard most today was energy. From founders, from investors, from operators, from researchers. A room full of the people building Physical AI, in the same building, all agreeing on the same thing. The category is no longer waiting to arrive. It is here, it is moving fast, and it is the most interesting thing in technology right now.
Thank you to everyone who brought that energy into Station F today. This is why we built MACHINA.

@OpenAI .@huggingface . Two of the foundational forces in modern AI, in one fireside on the MACHINA stage today. @LauraModiano , OpenAI, in conversation with @Thom_Wolf , Co-Founder and CSO of Hugging Face.
Thomas on why robotics is a different game from language models: "Robotics is interesting because it's not yet a game of, I need the largest data center, and that's basically, ultimately the only thing that matters."
On why the data problem is harder: "You will need to really understand your data, clean it, find it, because it's way more complex than for LLM."
The Hugging Face reveal: "We're going to have a working robot soon this summer that we're gonna unveil. That's gonna be also $500 or €500 or something like that."
And a personal position most people in the room did not expect: "I'm one of these person who is not so excited about humanoids. I think they are slightly scary."
Laura on the pace of the field: "Things that previously would take months are getting cut to weeks. Things that used to take days are getting cut to hours."
On what separates robotics from software AI: "In AI, a lot of people can build a lot of things. In robotics, you truly have to be technical. You don't just wake up and say, I'm gonna work in robotics."
On the European talent pipeline underneath it: "It's 14 of the top technical universities in Europe with over, I believe, two and a half thousand students across the geography that are collaborating, that are hosting hackathons together."

@BerntBornich, Founder and CEO of @1x_tech , took the MACHINA stage today with the timeline and the discipline behind bringing humanoids into the home.
On what safety actually determines: "Safety defines where you can go. Like, how useful can you be? Where can you apply your useful labor? And the dual of that is, of course, where can you gather data. How much data diversity can you have."
That framing sits at the centre of 1X's whole approach. Safety is not a compliance checkbox at the end of the roadmap. It is the constraint that decides how much of the world a humanoid can operate in, how useful it can be inside that world, and how much real-world data it can gather to keep getting better. Every deployment expands the surface. Every restriction shrinks the flywheel.
On when this happens: "It's extremely hard to predict where we will have this kind of, like, abundance of labor happening. In the next two years, three years, or next decade. But I'm pretty confident it's not decades."
On the consumer product: "Hopefully here order a robot that we are shipping to consumers this year." His approach: "We're gonna scale it as fast as we absolutely can, but we want to do it in a manner that is safe and that is really responsible. So it's gonna be slow in the beginning, but there's gonna be a few who gets the robot this year."
On the ten years of engineering underneath it: "We've been grinding on this problem for a decade. All the way from, like, new discoveries in material science, to how to weave these things, to how to process, how to post-process, how to design around."

@evanhelda , Head of Physical AI at @nebiusai , took the MACHINA stage today in conversation with Harry Mellsop of Antioch, with a direct read on where the category actually gets stuck.
Evan on the bottleneck: "The biggest bottleneck we're seeing right now in the space is evaluation. Does the model do what we think it's gonna do?"
On the frontier discipline it requires: "So basically what you're saying is, you gotta trust fall into these models and ride the wave and expect the advances to come, and be not just living on the edge, living ahead of the edge."
On Nebius's positioning underneath it: "We're building out a control plane to really run the entire data flywheel in physical AI, from data curation, to training, to evaluation, to inference, and back around."

Esteemed @BrunoRetailleau , President of Les Républicains and Senator of Vendée, took the MACHINA stage today with the French policy case for European Physical AI.
The stakes: "AI is a bit like nuclear power, augmented. Actually, I think it's even more than that."
The gap to close: "Where a French SME invests on average 8 euros in AI, a European company invests 10. We're 20% behind, and we absolutely have to catch up."
The proposal: "What I will call for is a three-year derogation from GDPR and the AI Act, for strategic systems in particular."

@DrJimFan, @nvidia defined what "solving robotics" actually means on the MACHINA stage today. It is not a spec sheet. It is a test.
His frame: the Physical Turing Test. An observer should not be able to tell whether a human or a robot performed a given task across a wide range of activities. Deceptively simple. Incredibly difficult. The next grand challenge for AI.
And his timeline for getting there: "I'm 90% certain that by 2040, we'll get to the end of the endgame. The physical AI revolution will not come all at once. It will happen gradually and then suddenly."

@GoogleDeepMind is running the boldest thesis in Physical AI, and Carolina Parada laid it out on the MACHINA stage today.
The mandate is not modest. "Our goal at @GoogleDeepMind is nothing less but to solve AGI in the physical world." Framed differently: "We want to build an AI that can infuse a robot with human level intelligence and physical abilities so that robots can understand the world and reason about it the same way you and I can."
The bottleneck the team is chasing: "The reason robots are not all around us here today is because they cannot handle generalization yet."
The progress they are seeing: "We're now about 93% performance on this test set, and these are real images. They're noisy. They're small. This is from real world examples."
Her close: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it. So I'm incredibly excited to be working in robotics today. This is the best time to be working in robotics."

Two speakers. One question. What does AI still not know how to do?
Or Lenchner, Bright Data : "AI has read basically the whole internet. It can tell you about the rain, but it's never felt the rain. It's never been anywhere." His conclusion for robotics: "To know the world, robots need to see the world. And to operate in the world, they need to understand it."
@SaraKuburic : "AI can produce the word grief, or it can process and learn about grief, but it cannot grieve." Her sharper reframe: "The danger is not that it's gonna replace us, but that the humans are gonna forget what makes them irreplaceable."
Her closing image: "To me, they're not parallel lines. It's a line and a mirror. A mirror that's getting very precise, very convincing, producing very amazing reflections. But just because it represents a human, it doesn't mean it will ever become one."

The Europe question got answered on the MACHINA stage today. Not with a forecast, but with a working list of what is already being built.
@andreasklinger of Prototype set the frame: "I will instantly reframe the question from can Europe lead physical AI to how can Europe lead physical AI and how will we lead physical AI." His standout line: "It's always impossible until somebody simply does it." His bet: "Next year, it will be completely normal that we will talk about robotic startups doing fully verticalized production in Europe at competitive prices to China."
David Reger of @NEURARobotics made the industrial case: "Physical AI is actually the last big chance for Europe to have built something important enough or big enough to contribute to the world." On what Neura is doing: "We are transforming an existing supply chain of automotive into basically robotics."
Anastasis Germanidis of @runwayml on the model layer: "A lot of the progress in image and video generation has actually happened in Europe... there is a common misconception that it's all happening in the Bay Area. That's not the case at all." On robotics itself: "The biggest problem in robotics is generalization. You want a robot that's able to follow arbitrary instructions and adapt to situations it hasn't seen before."
Ankit Khaitan of @Uber Technologies on Europe's specific edge: "All the leading OEMs outside of China and the US are based out of Europe... there's a lot of sensor configuration, a lot of calibration — that's where Europe will lead."
David Kehr, President of Humanoid Robotics at @Schaeffler : "Schaeffler has a humanoid running eight hours a day, five days a week in one of our plants already." And a warning: "Don't count out Europe. Europe can play a role especially on safety, but there has to be a balance. There can't be so much regulation that it stifles the physical AI market here in Europe. And that's coming from a German manufacturer."
Jonathan Hurst of @agilityrobotics closed with the commercial reality: "Today we can start with picking up bins, picking up totes, doing things in warehouses and logistics, doing useful work that customers are willing to pay for right now." And the arc it points to: "We're going to have machines that can physically do most of the things that people can do, and then many, many more things beyond that, and that's going to fundamentally change how we do labor."
One shared answer. Europe is not asking whether to lead. It is executing.

Two fireside chats. Two views of humanoid robotics right now, delivered on the MACHINA stage today.
Amanda McMaster, Interim CEO of @BostonDynamics , made the deployment case with numbers. "There's actually not another mobile autonomous robot on the planet being used as much as Boston Dynamics. We have somewhere around 2,000,000 inspections per quarter." "We have something north of now of 600 customers over 46 countries." On the D1 platform: "Between the prototype and D1 that was revealed at CES, we simplified the design from eight actuator types in the prototype to two in D1. And we've seen cost savings between 60 to 80%." On the design philosophy: "We don't really want to be encumbered by the idea of what our human body is capable of doing. The idea is to be superhuman."
@jeffcardn , Co-Founder and CEO of @Apptronik , framed the moment historically. "My view is that general purpose robots and humanoid robots in particular are effectively like the personal computer, and if you take that analogy, it feels like we're in the early eighties." On the stakes: "Robots are the space race of our time." On the geopolitics: "China has had a national robotics strategy since 2021. They have more uptake of robots than the rest of the world combined with four times the population, and they have a $138 billion national robotics fund."
Two conversations. One conclusion. The category is no longer waiting to arrive. It is here, at industrial scale.

The night before MACHINA opens, the room got warm.
RoboTour Paris, our official opening party, gathered the founders, researchers, and engineers actually closing the loop between simulation, training, and real-world deployment. Sim-to-real transfer. Vision-language-action models.
General-purpose robotics. The infrastructure holding it all up.
Small room, high signal, a few live hardware demos in the background. Exactly the way we wanted to start the week.
Thank you to our partners for hosting alongside us: @nebiusai , @nvidia , @encord_team , @EnchantedTools , @gs_ai_ , and @lukas_m_ziegler .
