Welcome to Physical AI Builders, formerly known as the Silicon Valley Android Developers—one of the oldest developer groups in Silicon Valley, founded in 2008. 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 Dallas (June 11) and Silicon Valley (April 29)—to spotlight breakthrough entrepreneurs and foster global collaboration.
This group hosted the world’s first Android, HTML5, Android Wear, Chrome, and Google Watch hackathons, backed by Google, Samsung, T-Mobile, and many other leading players. 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!
