Join our virtual meetup to hear talks from experts on cutting-edge topics across Visual AI for Physical AI use cases.

Data is key for advances in machine learning, including mobile applications like robots and autonomous cars. To ensure reliable operation, occurring scenarios must be reflected by the underlying dataset. Since the open-world environments can contain unknown scenarios and novel objects, active learning from online data collection and handling of unknowns is required. In this talk we discuss different approach to address this real world requirements.

Modern mobility systems rely on massive, high-quality multimodal datasets — yet real-world data is messy. Misaligned sensors, inconsistent metadata, and uneven scenario coverage can slow development and lead to costly model failures. The Physical AI Workbench, built in collaboration between Voxel51 and NVIDIA, provides an automated and scalable pipeline for auditing, reconstructing, and enriching autonomous driving datasets.

In this talk, we’ll show how FiftyOne serves as the central interface for inspecting and validating sensor alignment, scene structure, and scenario diversity, while NVIDIA Neural Reconstruction (NuRec) enables physics-aware reconstruction directly from real-world captures. We’ll highlight how these capabilities support automated dataset quality checks, reduce manual review overhead, and streamline the creation of richer datasets for model training and evaluation.

Attendees will gain insight into how Physical AI workflows help mobility teams scale, improve dataset reliability, and accelerate iteration from data capture to model deployment — without rewriting their infrastructure.

While modern autonomous driving systems increasingly rely on machine learning and deep neural networks, classical algorithms continue to play a foundational role in ensuring reliability, interpretability, and real-time performance. Techniques such as Kalman filtering, A* path planning, PID control, and SLAM remain integral to perception, localization, and decision-making modules. Their deterministic nature and lower computational overhead make them especially valuable in safety-critical scenarios and resource-constrained environments. This talk explores the enduring relevance of classical algorithms, their integration with learning-based methods, and their evolving scope in the context of next-generation autonomous vehicle architectures.

This talk explores how neural reconstruction and world models are coming together to create richer, more dynamic simulation for scalable autonomous vehicle development. We’ll look at the latest releases in 3D Gaussian splatting techniques and world reasoning and generation, as well as discuss how these technologies are advancing the deployment of autonomous driving stacks that can generalize to any environment. We’ll also cover NVIDIA open models, frameworks, and data to help kickstart your own development pipelines.
