SMART SESSIONS by AALTRA

When IoT gets intelligent:
Physical AI in action

aALTRA OFFICE

When you hear "Physical AI," you picture robots.
But what about your smart thermostat?

Be honest, is it really smart?
Does it truly understand when you're home, or are you constantly adjusting it? Most connected products collect data and wait for you to decide.

Real Physical AI is different, it observes, learns, and acts autonomously.

Your thermostat predicts you're leaving early.
Your heat pump optimizes before prices spike.
Systems coordinate without your input.

As regulations tighten and AI advances, the architecture you choose today determines everything.

This Smart Session shows you what's possible.

Programme

18:00 Reception / Welcome / Walking dinner

18:30 Intro - From connected to intelligent

18:50 The evolution of intelligence

Level 1: Chat at as remote control
Level 2: AI that observes and automates
Level 3: AI that actively participates

What we're demonstrating cannot be built on conventional IoT infrastructure.
Privacy, security, and data ownership create immediate bottlenecks.

19:50 Connected Intelligence: Merging IoT and Robotics
