Speak at 2023 MIT AI & Autonomy Conference (April 5)

Deadline: January 23, 2023

Looking for 10 startups to present their technology during Lightning Talks and participate at the Lunch Exhibit - April 5 @Boston Marriott Cambridge.

OVERVIEW: Autonomous systems such as robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles are increasingly becoming a common element of human society. However, how to make autonomous systems more intelligent, more efficient, safer, and better aligned with human values remains to be a big challenge. The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing invests in new artificial intelligence, data science, and computer science research to advance the state of the art in autonomous systems. The 2023 MIT AI and Autonomy Conference will showcase the most recent developments in areas including networked robotics, human level perception, reinforcement learning, and computational cognitive science. Presented by the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing and the MIT Industrial Liaison Program, you will hear insights from MIT faculty, MIT Startup Exchange entrepreneurs, and industry executives from presentations, lightning talks, exhibitions, and a panel discussion.

KEY THEMES (among other related ones for AI and Autonomy): autonomous vehicles, autonomous drones, safe autonomous systems, navigation in dynamic uncertain environments, robotics (networked, distributed, collaborative, etc.), robot manipulation and learning, representation learning/modeling, embodied intelligence, energy-efficient ML, computer vision, design and manufacturing.

Selected startups must: prepare slide deck for a 5-min talk as per guidelines provided; and participate in a virtual dry run to review slide deck, where needed.

These events are attended by several hundred ILP global corporate members represented by senior executives, as well as by others from the ecosystem, and provide an excellent forum for exploring partnerships and collaboration opportunities between startups and industry.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Note: selection will be on a rolling basis, so apply ASAP.

To apply, please provide the following:

  • -brief description of your startup's technology-based product/services & 1 compelling use case; 
  • -brief description of current market traction (e.g. pilot, validation results, paying customers, etc.);
  • -speaker bio & a few words on the speaker’s experience as a speaker (optionally, including a video sample);
  • -one-paragraph explanation of the unique fit between the event/theme and the startup’s vision, technologies, products, or services;
  • -in addition, please make sure to update your Startup Exchange profile if you have not done so recently. An up-to-date profile will ensure we can correctly match you with corporate requests!
