>> Welcome back to TheCUBE Studio here at the New York Stock Exchange. This is Physical AI and Robotics, prior to our programming with NYSE Wired. And joining me today is David Amar, co-founder of MACHINA Summit. Welcome, David.
David Amar
>> Gemma, thanks for having me.
Gemma Allen
>> Well, it looks nice and bright wherever in the world you are right now. Are you in France or the UK?
David Amar
>> Exactly. Lovely Paris. Good weather for once.
Gemma Allen
>> Oh, good.
David Amar
>> We're all happy over here.
Gemma Allen
>> Good. Okay. So Paris, we and the team at NYSE Wired are headed to Paris this July. We'll be at the RAISE Summit and the day before RAISE kicks off, we'll be working with you and the team at the MACHINA Summit in the train station in Paris. David, for those who might not be familiar with MACHINA, fill us in. Tell us a little bit about what exactly this conference is about and what your big goals are for July.
David Amar
>> Yeah, of course. First of all, we're very happy both at RAISE and MACHINA to have, of course, the NYCE Wired and TheCUBE team on site, so that'll be amazing. And yeah, MACHINA, if I could say in just a few words, we are building Europe's largest physical AI conference, but going further than that ecosystem, as you might know, physical AI, not so much like AI is even more fragmented, right? There's so many different layers going from just the sensory to the perception, to the deployment, to the additional hardware and infrastructure needed, the industrial partners. And more often than not that's the biggest bottleneck in deployment these days. So, that's why MACHINA sort of comes in at a perfect moment, especially this year. I think Jensen Huang kicked off this year by saying physical AI was in its ChatGPT moment. And we are really seeing it today, not just in terms of capital being raised for these companies, but the real transition from demos to deployments has been just amazing in 2026.
Gemma Allen
>> So, just this week alone we saw a robot outrun Beijing runners in the Beijing Marathon, in the Half-Marathon, which I think shocked a lot of folks. Definitely made headlines here in New York. This morning I woke up to a headline that there is an AI-only retail store in San Francisco that opened this week. So, I think physical AI is suddenly becoming a lot more visual. There is also somewhat of a question mark or concern around what it actually means for the future of technology and for the future of society. Talk to me a little bit about how you think about these things, especially bringing communities together and fostering conversation and innovation in this space.
David Amar
>> Yeah, of course. I mean, I'll answer with the worry first, of course. And we always, as a society in general have a tendency to push back against progress, and robots is a new subject for that, and you could see it. And you understand the worry people think that these humanoids and robots are going to replace their jobs. But I always think the best way to address progress is not by trying to stop it, but by making sure it aligns with humans as much as possible. And today you're seeing, there's of course a lot of robots that are being deployed to work in factory usages and stores, but the amount of healthcare robots I'm seeing, the amount of elder care robots we're seeing today, exoskeletons, things that will truly make the world better is just as popular as what you might see as, "Oh, robots are going to take away all the jobs in textile factories."
So, that's the angle we like to orient ourselves towards at MACHINA as well and sort of our ethos. And same thing goes for RAISE Summit and the AI conference, in an ever more digital world and an ever more disconnected world the best way to bring people in an ecosystem together is in-person. It's having those real connections, having that real deal flow, understanding. And even more so for physical AI, seeing the solutions in-person is very much different than seeing the TikTok clips of dancing robots, right? But seeing it face to face with you, you really see that we're entering into a new era.
Gemma Allen
>> What can we expect at MACHINA Summit? Who are you expecting? What will the format of the day look like? And how will it fit into the broader, I guess, week that's happening around RAISE?
David Amar
>> So, MACHINA is what we call the physical AI branch or layer of the RAISE Summit. As you know, the RAISE Summit is more of a GenAI, TreadAI conference, but MACHINA really is entirely anchored on in bio intelligence. And what you can expect that MACHINA is the full ecosystem. Of course, there will be the humanoids and the robots you're seeing everywhere on the internet, but also the additional stacks needed to power these machines, whether it's from the sensory side of things, the data, the AI, the hardware, the infrastructure. We're also bringing in the industrial partners, the ones that make these deployments actually happen. Capital, of course, makes the world go round. And finally, bringing in the top researchers from the best robotics labs and institutions across the world, but specifically, and one of the reasons why we're hosting it in Paris, also from France, where we have leading universities and faculties on this subject for the past 20 years.
Gemma Allen
>> Talk to me about the location. I know it's in quite a unique spot. What can we expect? Will it be a day of panels? Will there be booths? What can we expect to see?
David Amar
>> Yeah, of course. So, we've been very lucky. Station F where we're hosting the event has actually reached out to us to host it there. For the people that don't know, Station F used to be a abandoned train station in Paris until 10 years ago, the president and a few investors in France decided to make it into the world's largest startup campus. So, you have companies like Hugging Face that originated from there. And it's an amazing layout. It's a great venue, so we're very lucky to be able to host it there. And MACHINA takes place throughout the day. You'll have, of course, like standard conferences you'll have keynotes, fireside chats and panels. But additionally to that, you'll be able to go to the exhibition for it, once again, see all the brand-new solutions in the space and really connect with the builders and deployers of this new era.
Gemma Allen
>> Well, let's talk for a second about the decision to host this in Paris, right? And the European ecosystem more broadly. Here in New York, I guess sometimes we're led to believe that the World Center is around us a little bit, but there's a whole other technology ecosystem happening out there. And I know Adrian and Henry and the team at RAISE, along with yourself, are doing a good job to bring Europe to the world stage. Talk to me about how you see these two geographies colliding, and hopefully, I guess, converting.
David Amar
>> Yeah. I think for physical AI, even more so right now, you do have the two main giants in the space, which is United States and Asia. The United States is, I would say, far more advanced right now in terms of software capacities and capabilities, the foundation models, et cetera, with companies like Skild really building the brains behind these robots. And China and Asia in general, which is just an absolute powerhouse in manufacturing and being able to actually today ship these humanoids right now commercially, there's about 10 or more so Chinese companies from which you can actually buy a humanoid robot and receive it in less than two weeks. And I think my first point would be Paris and Europe represents sort of that neutral ground, bringing these two giants. But going further than that, France has always been a catalyst for innovation. Going back to the times of the Renaissance, we've always been at the intersection of technology and the future. And I think this ties in perfectly well with where we're hosting some of our site activations. For example, as you may know, with the RAISE Summit we're hosting a dinner at the Chateau Versailles, which really shows where history and the future collide, especially with the robots, right? And I think my other point would be, whereas as I said, China and America lead the game, Europe is pushing strong as well in the manufacturing space. You have about one fourths of just the hardware components for humanoids that are being developed in Europe actually, about 34% in Germany, especially concerning actuators. And finally, I think where Europe really has that game to play is that we do host some of the best researchers and institutions in this space, whether it's in France, Germany, Switzerland, or even in the Nordic countries. So, I think that's especially what will be bringing of value to MACHINA from the European perspective.
Gemma Allen
>> Well, I'm European myself, so I'm a big, big believer in background European tech and European talent, but we do sometimes come up against the narrative of speed and of regulation and governance and how the U.S. ecosystem and the Asian ecosystem and the European ecosystem are, I guess on different timelines from that perspective. What are your thoughts there? How do you think it does in some ways potentially ... Does it hold European tech back? Do you think it is somewhat of a blocker to accelerated progress?
David Amar
>> It's a good question. I think in parts, yes. I think today in France we focus on regulation before we've ever even created anything that needs to be regulated. And this is true for both the AI and physical AI space, but I think that has an important role to play, because it also keeps the other sort of powers in checks. So, part of that is beneficial, but what I will say is that France, for example, is waking up. We're having a large amount of robotics companies from France attending MACHINA, but even more so that are being developed currently working with world-leading industrial partners like VINU. You have amazing solutions from UMA and Wandercraft that have been in the game for a while. And I think Europe is waking up. I hope Europe is waking up. We've seen it a bit in the AI space. And I do always believe that it's good to have the good cop, bad cop. Maybe France has to be a bit of, depends how you see it, the good cop or the bad cop for regulation for the rest of the world, but it eventually always finds a way to show up. And that's what I'm always an optimist for.
Gemma Allen
>> For sure. So, you talk about embodied AI as the next kind of big tech revolution, right? Like the last mile, if you like, in this AI revolution we're in right now. Talk to me a little bit about what you're seeing. What sorts of companies are really impressing you at this moment? Who even can we expect to see at MACHINA? Will there be use cases brought to life for us on the day? Give us a sense of what's truly happening in the industry.
David Amar
>> Yeah. I think as I said at the beginning of this chat, I think this is the year where we're seeing the demos to deployments, right? And I can cite a few examples, but Boston Dynamics has been doing this for a while and they're coming to MACHINA, but they've deployed their robot dogs in over 60 police departments across the United States. And these robot dogs are used in bomb squads to prevent humans from being harmed. I think that's an amazing deployment and it works really well. You have a lot of amazing new companies that have been making news recently, companies like Persona AI, which are coming to and really are axed on that industrial deployment side of things with very good use cases. In France, I had mentioned Wandercraft, which is building exoskeletons to help factory workers handle harder payloads. So, there's a lot of deployments happening. Of course, I think humanoids are only a side of that. Of course, when we talk about physical AI, everybody's mind hops straight to humanoids, because once again, those are the videos we're seeing in marketing. But I think the real revenue this year and in general from physical AI has been so far coming from sort of the logistics side of things, right? Automating the chains of supplies, manipulations, sorting, robotic arms have been used in much more settings than we think, but they're marketed much less than the dancing humanoids. So, that's my two cents. And I think as we move forward these humanoids will have a role to play. I think a lot of them are in R&D still, but the solutions they've been able to come up with in just the span of a few years is nothing short of amazing.
Gemma Allen
>> Wow. Okay. And finally, I mean, these conferences and these events, the tech is so important. The innovation is so important. But what really I think drives people to get on planes, trains and automobiles and come to these things is the community, right? The conversation, the dialogue. And we're at an interesting time in tech where it's probably more important than ever before that we converse in-person. Talk to me a little bit about how you think about fostering that, like continuing to grow the importance of just human connection and how conferences like this help people feel about the industry that they've, I guess, decided to build a career in.
David Amar
>> Yeah, of course. And again, that's why I found myself in the event space. I'm very human-oriented at the end of the day. And I think MACHINA hopefully exemplifies that really well. It's of course about the conversations and the speakers we have. It's of course about showcasing the solutions, but we're making sure that MACHINA is maximally a social event, right? With networking spaces all around, networking apps, connections, introductions. And I think social robots in the future will attempt to take that maybe away from humans, but there's nothing like a one-on-one, right? And that's what MACHINA's about.
Gemma Allen
>> Okay. And David, lastly, so this is year one of MACHINA. RAISE had a phenomenal year last year, so much energy. If it's the end of July, MACHINA's behind you, what are you hoping you will have achieved this July? What are the big goals for this first revolutionary event?
David Amar
>> Well, I think what would make me very pleased is that, of course, all my speakers and sponsors come back to me and say, "David, this was amazing." But further than that, I really just can't wait till the day of the event, really just get on the floor, speak with everybody. And what would make me very pleased is that everybody got something out of it, whether it's just discovering a new company, maybe sealing a deal, listening to an interesting conversation, joining a new company. I think just those little wins would make me realize that what we're building actually has a real purpose, a tangible purpose in the ecosystem. That's my vision of success.
Gemma Allen
>> Great. Well, listen, we are very excited along with the team at NYSE Wired and TheCUBE to be there. So, looking forward to seeing you in Paris in July. Thanks so much for joining us today on the show.
David Amar
>> Thank you, Gemma, and we're very much looking forward to hosting you this summer.
Gemma Allen
>> I'm Gemma Allen at TheCUBE Studio here at the New York Sock Exchange. This is one of our programs at NYSE Wired, Physical AI and Robotics. Thanks so much for watching.

>> Okay. And David, lastly, so this is year one of MACHINA. RAISE had a phenomenal year last year, so much energy. If it's the end of July, MACHINA's behind you, what are you hoping you will have achieved this July? What are the big goals for this first revolutionary event?
David Amar
>> Well, I think what would make me very pleased is that, of course, all my speakers and sponsors come back to me and say, "David, this was amazing." But further than that, I really just can't wait till the day of the event, really just get on the floor, speak with everybody. And what would make me very pleased is that everybody got something out of it, whether it's just discovering a new company, maybe sealing a deal, listening to an interesting conversation, joining a new company. I think just those little wins would make me realize that what we're building actually has a real purpose, a tangible purpose in the ecosystem. That's my vision of success.
Gemma Allen
>> Great. Well, listen, we are very excited along with the team at NYSE Wired and TheCUBE to be there. So, looking forward to seeing you in Paris in July. Thanks so much for joining us today on the show.
