Bringing Edge and Physical AI to Production
At Web Summit 2026, Intel is bringing edge AI, agentic AI, and physical AI to life across manufacturing, smart cities, retail, and healthcare. According to the official [Intel Newsroom](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/artificial-intelligence/intel-at-web-summit-2026.html), live demonstrations will show how Intel silicon, software, and ecosystem collaborations help developers and businesses move beyond compelling prototypes to AI systems designed to operate reliably, responsively, and economically in real-world environments.
Media representatives can meet Intel experts, experience the demonstrations firsthand, and explore the infrastructure decisions behind technologies that must do more than simply generate an answer. The exhibits emphasize systems that can sense locally, reason autonomously, and trigger action in the physical world.
Physical AI and Industry Applications
Intel is presenting physical AI across a range of robotics form factors deployed across multiple industries, demonstrating how robotics reaches real-world production rather than remaining confined to stage demos. Visitors can explore how sensing, high-performance Edge AI inference, and real-time control work together with open source software and Intel technology to help deliver tangible value.
The practical applications span cognitive cities, manufacturing automation, robotic service, and healthcare. These displays illustrate how modern artificial intelligence integrates with physical infrastructure to address complex operational requirements.
Expert Access and Technical Discussions
Attendees visiting the Intel booth, located in Pavilion 2 at Stand E267, have direct access to Intel experts. Discussions focus on physical AI economics, edge-to-cloud architecture, open software frameworks, and the trade-offs among performance, latency, power, and cost.
Furthermore, the company is hosting specialized sessions addressing the practical challenges of deployment. The schedule includes a presentation titled 'Beyond the AI Pilot: A Blueprint for Production Scale,' offering a practical framework for overcoming cost, integration, and deployment complexity to turn an AI pilot into measurable business impact.
Cognitive Spaces and Robotics Deployment
On Wednesday, November 11, from 10:25 to 10:45 a.m., Intel will present 'Places That Think Back: How Agentic and Physical AI Make Cities and Spaces Cognitive.' This session explores what happens when surrounding environments can think and act, showcasing how agentic and [Artificial Intelligence (AI)](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/home.html#aiartificialintelligence) create cognitive spaces that sense changing conditions, make autonomous decisions, and execute real-world actions.
Additionally, the event features a discussion titled 'Beyond the Demo: What It Really Takes to Put AI Robots to Work,' which examines the hidden edge AI trade-offs involved in taking robotics from proof of concept to safe, reliable, and economically viable deployment.
Special Events and Media Contact
Intel invites participants to join an Intel Inside Live session in the booth on Tuesday, November 10, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For additional details regarding this event, or to request interviews, guided demo tours, and filming opportunities, media personnel can contact Marcie Miller via email at Marcie.m.Miller@intel.com. Registration links and confirmed partner spokesperson availability will be added as final details are completed.
For ongoing updates and additional announcements regarding Intel's conference activities, visitors can check the broader [News](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/home.html) portal provided by the company.
