Physical AI: 5 Things You Can Build That Aren't Another Chatbot

September 25, 2026 10:20 – 10:50 · 30 min Stage 5

What this session covers

This session walks through five working projects that show what AI looks like when it leaves the screen: vibe-coding 3D-printable parts in OpenSCAD, generating firmware and PCB layouts for custom IoT devices, an AI-driven home automation stack over MQTT, physical controllers that turn button presses into agent calls, and a “renascent” interface that rewrites its own code on voice command and hot-reloads live.
