Physical AI at Scale: Lessons from Autonomous Delivery

Moving from first pilots to a large-scale commercial operation is the defining milestone in robotics. In this session, Roman Nefedov shares practical lessons from deploying and operating a fleet of 1,000 autonomous delivery robots across busy city streets and dynamic university campuses. The talk explores how technology, operations, and economics converge to build a sustainable business model. Roman will examine how advanced navigation algorithms solve complex edge cases. Alongside the software, he will discuss the ground logistics, fleet management, and operational workflows required to support high-density delivery networks. Attendees will get an honest look at the hard-won lessons, operational realities, and technical choices that make autonomous delivery both dependable and commercially viable.
