At RoboBusiness 2026, Nagesh Puppala, general manager of physical AI and robotics at Intel, will present a session titled “From Models to Machines: Building the Open Infrastructure for Physical AI.” The talk is scheduled for 1:15 p.m. PT on the first day of the show, Oct. 20, in Santa Clara, Calif.\n\nThe session will examine how open, edge‑first architectures can help teams integrate perception, sensor fusion, motion planning, deterministic control, and real‑time AI across diverse hardware and software stacks. Puppala will argue that moving physical AI from prototype to production requires a deployment foundation that prioritizes flexibility, interoperability, and measurable outcomes for manufacturing, logistics, field robotics, humanoids, and autonomous systems. He brings more than 25 years of experience, including leading Intel’s media platform business, and holds an MBA from NYU Stern, a master’s in computer science, and a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering.","keyPoints":["Intel GM Nagesh Puppala will present “From Models to Machines” on Oct 20, 2026 at RoboBusiness in Santa Clara.","Session will cover open, edge‑first architectures for perception, sensor fusion, motion planning, deterministic control, and real‑time AI.","Goal is to move physical AI from prototype to production across manufacturing, logistics, field robotics, humanoids, and autonomous systems."],"whyItMatters":"Scaling AI into real‑world robots needs reliable, interoperable infrastructure; Intel’s guidance could shape industry standards for production‑grade physical AI.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["Intel Corp.","RoboBusiness"],"models":[],"people":["Nagesh Puppala"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-22T21:31:19Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-22T21:31:19Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"The Robot Report","title":"Intel to discuss the infrastructure needed to scale physical AI at RoboBusiness","url":"https://therobotreport.com/intel-discusses-infrastructure-needed-to-scale-physical-ai-robobusiness","publishedAt":"2026-09-22T21:31:19Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Intel will discuss open infrastructure for physical AI at RoboBusiness\", 22 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/intel-will-discuss-open-infrastructure-for-physical-ai-at-robobusiness","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Intel will discuss open infrastructure for physical AI at RoboBusiness","datePublished":"2026-09-22T21:31:19Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/intel-will-discuss-open-infrastructure-for-physical-ai-at-robobusiness"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
