# Austin Physical AI Builders
Physical AI Builders, for Embodied AI, Robotics, Humanoid, Manufacturing
Welcome to Physical AI Builders, formerly known as the The Developer Network—one of the oldest developer groups. We're the go-to community for builders, innovators, and enthusiasts shaping the future of physical AI technologies, including robotics, embodied AI, hardware–software integration, and real-world AI applications.
Our community produces the Physical AI Newsletter, the Future 50 Physical AI Builders Program, and the F50 Physical AI Summit—held in Austin (Oct 15–16) and Silicon Valley (Oct 31)—to spotlight breakthrough entrepreneurs and foster global collaboration.
We’re now building the leading ecosystem for Physical AI. Whether you're a seasoned engineer developing intelligent robots, a startup founder exploring embodied AI opportunities, a researcher diving into AI for physical systems, or a newcomer eager to learn, this is your hub for collaboration and growth.
All are welcome—experienced developers, aspiring creators, and idea generators alike. Join us to connect, innovate, and build the next generation of physical intelligence!

Physical AI Builders Meetup — Austin | February
Fresh off the momentum of the F50 Physical AI Summits in Austin and Silicon Valley, Physical AI Builders is coming to Dallas and Houston — two of America’s strongest industrial and technology powerhouses.
Supported by: Concrete Engine, Evolve Holding
Event Partners: Austin San Antonio Entrepreneurs, F50.ai
Why Houston?
Houston is rapidly becoming a national hub in Physical AI, with core strengths in:
• Energy innovation and industrial automation
• Aerospace, space exploration, and advanced manufacturing ecosystems
• Oil & gas, logistics, and resilient supply chain infrastructure
• A rapidly growing robotics, AI, and engineering talent pool
• Dense corporate HQ presence and strong enterprise AI adoption
Houston’s combination of industrial scale, engineering talent, and infrastructure makes it a natural hub for autonomous factories, intelligent robots, digital twins, and Physical AI systems.
If you’re building or investing in AI-native manufacturing, this is where the region’s engineers, operators, founders, and investors come together.
Why This Matters Now
AI is no longer only software — it is becoming physical.
From humanoid robots to autonomous factories, Physical AI is reshaping America’s industrial foundation and positioning cities like Houston at the forefront of a new manufacturing era.
This isn’t about revitalizing old factories.
It’s about building AI-native, autonomous production systems that redefine global competitiveness.
