Automate is North America’s largest robotics and automation event — and the best place to take your ideas from insight to impact.
RealSense is bringing the Visual Cortex for Physical AI to Automate 2026—enabling real-world perception for robots and intelligent machines operating at industrial scale and accelerating innovation through new developer capabilities.
Visit us at Booth #12036 for live demonstrations of next-generation depth sensing, multi-camera perception, and autonomy at industrial scale.
Live Booth Demos
Experience the Visual Cortex of Physical AI™ in action through live demonstrations showcasing perception, autonomy, and intelligent robotics.
- NEW: Multi-Camera Perception (GMSL Portfolio) – Discover scalable, synchronized multi-camera vision in action through a live 5-camera deployment with AVerMedia, demonstrating how intelligent machines can achieve broader environmental awareness and more reliable perception at scale.
- Partner Demo: GPC Freight Dimensioning – Watch real-time 3D measurement of parcels and pallets powered by RealSense depth technology, enabling faster, more accurate logistics and warehouse automation workflows.
Featuring partner solutions AVerMedia and GPC
Live Session: Embodied AI Robotics
Let’s Build an Embodied AI Robotics Demo Together
Chris Matthieu, VP, Developer Ecosystem, RealSense
Monday, June 22, 2026
10:15 AM – 11:00 AM (CDT)
Room S401d
Robots are evolving from programmed ROS applications to embodied AI (LLMs running on physical robotics hardware) solving missions. New robotics AI tools are evolving such as VLMs (Vision Language Models also called multimodal LLMs), VLAs (Vision Language Action models), and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Robots now stream sensors like RealSense depth cameras into these AI tools allowing the AI to figure out on its own how to move its wheels or legs to achieve a goal such as following a person. During this session, we will build an embodied AI experience together live on stage!
What could go wrong?!
Industry Panel Discussion
The Industrial AI Accelerator: Roadmap for Rapid, Real-World ROI
Wednesday, June 24, 2026
11:15 AM – 12:00 PM (CDT)
Room S404bc
Join Chris Matthieu, RealSense, and Suny Paiva, Cooper Standard, for a candid discussion moderated by Tim Buschur, Chief Strategy Officer, Invisible AI, exploring how organizations can move Physical AI and industrial AI initiatives from pilot projects to full-scale deployment.
Key discussion topics include:
- Accelerating ROI within the first 100–200 days of an AI initiative
- Securing executive buy-in and organizational alignment
- Integrating AI into existing manufacturing and operational environments
- Implementing human-centric AI strategies that improve productivity, quality, safety, and workforce adoption
Visit Booth #12036 to continue the conversation and learn how RealSense—the Visual Cortex of Physical AI™—is enabling the next generation of intelligent machines.
Whether you’re evaluating humanoid platforms, building solutions on top of them, or determining where robotics fits into your operations, this session will provide practical insights into deploying humanoid systems safely and at scale.
- How ISVs and system integrators can build on this stack today
- How a simulation-first approach using NVIDIA Isaac reduces deployment risk and accelerates time to value
- How RealSense and NVIDIA technologies work together to enable safe autonomous navigation
- Why perception is the make-or-break factor in humanoid deployment
Attendees will learn:
Drawing on RealSense’s autonomous humanoid navigation work first showcased with NVIDIA at GTC 2026, Alon will explore how depth perception, visual SLAM, and simulation-first development are enabling the next generation of humanoid robots.
Humanoid robots are moving from research labs into warehouses, factories, and shared workspaces. But before a robot can perform meaningful manipulation tasks such as picking, assembling, and material handling, it must first navigate safely through dynamic, human-centered environments.
