Name: Robotics and Edge Inference
Start: 2026-02-21T16:00:00.000Z
Location: Austin

The Adam Smith Robotics Society explores classical economics to understand how robotics might create a better and more productive future for humanity.

In this book club, we will read Wealth of Nations over the course of a couple of months.

Our primary focus will be understanding Smith on his own terms. Our secondary focus will be exploring how Smith’s ideas inform our thinking about automation and robotics.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This book club is a good fit for anyone who:
• wants to read Wealth of Nations
• is excited about technology and would enjoy discussions about robotics and automation

We will meet twice a month. Every week we’ll discuss two or three chapters from Wealth of Nations.

For our first session, we will focus discussion on the first two chapters of Book 1:

Chapter 1: Of the Division of Labour (~10 pages)

Chapter 2: Of the Principle which gives occasion to the Division of Labour (~6 pages)

Any full unabridged version of Wealth of Nations should do. Our discussion leader will use the following text: [Wealth of Nations](https://about.libertyfund.org/books/an-inquiry-into-the-nature-and-causes-of-the-wealth-of-nations-vol-1/). You can also use [Wealth of Nations Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3300/3300-h/3300-h.htm) for free online.

How to Build the Future

Wealth of Nations Book Club (Adam Smith Robotics Society)

Technical robotics conference for engineers on end-to-end edge inference from runtimes to perception and control, enabling attendees to deploy edge inference.

We’re hosting the **Robotics & Edge Inference Conference** in February 2026. From the smallest microcontrollers to the most advanced Jetson-class modules, modern robots now run perception and policy on-device. We’ll go end-to-end—**from compilers & runtimes** (TensorRT, TVM, ONNX Runtime) **and ROS 2/Isaac dataflow**, **to multi-sensor 3D perception & state estimation**, **to navigation and diffusion policies for manipulation**. We’ll also showcase demos from top robotics companies in Austin.

Expect deeply technical talks, live demos, and open Q&A.

**Presenters:** TBD
**When:** February 21, 2026
**Where:** TBD
