SOSV discusses Physical AI at TechCrunch Disrupt: it is far more than robots

At TechCrunch Disrupt, SOSV discussed Physical AI, emphasizing that its scope is far broader than robots, spanning areas such as materials discovery, programmable biology, and specialized chips. An SOSV partner noted that unlike IoT, which transmits data one way, Physical AI creates a two-way data pathway that enables closed-loop control of complex systems. SOSV has invested in the physical world for 12 years, backing about 60 new companies each year, and has roughly 85,000 square feet of laboratory space to support startups as they grow.
