Shayegan Omidshafiei, FieldAI President and Chief Scientist, gave the keynote “Autonomy in the Wild” at @autonomousevent The Future of Robotics & Physical AI in San Francisco. The premise: what does it take for a robot to arrive at a site it has never seen, with no prior map, no GPS, and no site-specific training—and get to work? FieldAI robots do exactly that across hundreds of deployments in construction, energy, and other complex industrial environments, where conditions are constantly changing and robots must operate safely around people, equipment, and incomplete information.
