Hosted by Liminal

Explore how Physical AI moves from simulation to real-world deployment at this AWS and Liminal demo day in Singapore. Taking place on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, from 1:30pm to 5:00pm GMT+8, the event brings together founders, builders and operators working at the intersection of AI and the physical world. Expect talks and live startup demonstrations focused on turning technical breakthroughs into scalable products. What to expect - Why Physical AI, why now: The technologies driving what could become the next major platform shift after generative AI - From simulation to deployment: What it takes to move intelligent systems beyond controlled environments and into production - Who builds what comes next: The qualities needed to tackle technically difficult, category-defining problems - Physical AI in action: Demonstrations from startups building at the frontier of the field The programme draws on Amazon Web Services’ experience supporting Physical AI workloads and Amazon’s deployment of more than one million robots. It also brings in Liminal’s perspective as a founders’ studio that co-builds companies with founders and entrepreneurial scientists. The event is hosted by Alex Lim, Joshua, Eunice Cheng and Ajay Taunk. Registration requires host approval, and the exact Singapore address is shared with approved attendees.

Hosted by Lorong AI

Explore how AI-powered robots move beyond controlled labs at this technical session in Singapore on 28 October 2026, covering embodied AI, VLA models and edge intelligence. Part of Lorong AI’s weekly AI Wednesdays series and presented with IMDA, this in-person event brings together researchers, practitioners and innovators for three research-to-deployment talks: - Soujanya Poria, Associate Professor at NTU, will examine what generalist physical agents still need beyond better actions. Drawing on GE-Act 2.0, MemBodied and RoboQuest, he will discuss fast control, persistent memory, evidence gathering, planning and verification. - Raphael Yee, Director of Griffin Labs, will explain how his team built Griffin Alpha, an open-weight vision-language-action model developed in Singapore, why it was open-sourced and how Alpha-S performs across robotics benchmarks. - Dr Ernest Tan, Assistant Professor at SIT’s Infocomm Technology Cluster, will explore edge intelligence for responsive, reliable robotics. Topics include 5G/6G communications, distributed AI, inference-aware offloading and applications in facilities management, public safety and the built environment. Event details Wednesday 28 October 2026, 3:00–5:00 PM GMT+8 Lorong AI @ One-North, Vidacity Building, Level 3, The Collider (Entrance B), 69 Ayer Rajah Crescent, Singapore 139961.

Autonomous SG 2026 is a six-hour AI buildathon for 300+ builders in Singapore, taking place on Saturday, 31 October 2026. Supported by Anthropic, the event challenges participants to build and ship a production-grade AI prototype within six hours. Problem statements will only be revealed on the day, so teams should arrive ready to build rather than prepare a solution in advance. The top five teams will pitch their work live on stage. Who can take part? The buildathon is open to undergraduates, master’s and PhD students, researchers, engineers and working professionals. You can participate solo or in a team of up to four. One person should register for the whole team and request the corresponding number of tickets. Each participant receives: - $50 in Claude API credits - Lunch - Event swag - Access to a community of more than 300 builders Create a free Claude Console account before the event. Credits apply to the Console organisation and are not Claude.ai Pro or Max subscriptions. The event runs 9:00am–6:00pm GMT+8. The exact Singapore venue is shared after registration. Host approval is required, so requesting a place does not guarantee admission. Questions can be directed to Aanya Mathur on LinkedIn. Request to join Autonomous SG 2026

Build and demo a production-grade AI agent application in Singapore on 31 October 2026 at this four-hour, hands-on HackSprint. Running from 3:30–7:30pm GMT+8 during SWITCH conference week, the event moves beyond simple chatbots to systems that can execute code, automate workflows, manage infrastructure and deploy real work. After a practical workshop, participants can work solo or form teams of up to six before presenting a three-minute live demo. The build centres on Daytona, an open-source runtime that gives autonomous agents isolated cloud sandboxes with their own filesystem, network stack and compute resources. Projects must integrate sponsor products. Neo4j brings graph database and GraphRAG capabilities, while Nosana provides decentralised GPU compute for AI workloads. Format and judging - Kickoff and welcome from AI Builders - Daytona workshop and team formation - Focused hacking session followed by live demos - Judging on completeness, innovation, real-world problem-solving and sponsor-product usage - Winners announced before a closing networking session Winning teams will share sponsor-credit prizes, while every participant receives Daytona and Nosana credits to use during the hackathon. The event welcomes developers, AI engineers, founders and students, from first-time AI explorers to people already shipping agents in production. Registration requires host approval, places are limited, and the exact Singapore address is only revealed to registered attendees. Request approval and register for the HackSprint

Hosted by Mindstone

Explore practical AI, LLM product building and AI productivity at Mindstone’s free monthly meetup in Singapore on 4 November 2026. Mindstone’s November meetup brings the city’s AI community together to examine what people are building today, how artificial intelligence can improve everyday work, and where the technology may lead next. Held at EHL Campus (Singapore), this is a practical evening for anyone who wants to move beyond AI headlines and understand real applications, methods and possibilities. Three perspectives on practical AI The programme follows Mindstone’s established three-talk format, combining technical insight, an applied demonstration and a broader discussion: - What I Learned Building With LLMs, a technical breakdown of the process behind building an AI-powered product, including real-world lessons and insights. - How To Be More Productive Using AI, a practical, step-by-step demonstration of ways to use AI to complete tasks faster and improve the results. - What Does the Future Look Like With AI?, a theoretical exploration of how AI could affect work, daily life and society. This range makes the meetup relevant to product builders and technically minded attendees interested in LLM development, as well as professionals, founders and curious newcomers looking for useful AI workflows or a clearer view of the field. The event page does not specify prerequisites, and the mix of technical, practical and future-focused sessions provides several entry points into the subject. Talks, food and community The evening begins with doors opening, a welcome and an introduction before moving through the three featured sessions. Closing remarks and next steps are followed by pizza, drinks and casual networking, giving attendees time to compare experiences, discuss projects and meet other AI practitioners and enthusiasts in Singapore.
