. Main Theme: Physical AI - Engineering Intelligence for the Real World

As AI moves from digital environments into physical systems, the critical question is no longer only what models can

generate, but what engineered systems can reliably do. Physical AI requires the integration of algorithms, sensors,

electronics, control systems, embedded computing, mechanical design, testing, safety, and production capability. AEW

2026 will examine this transition as both a technological frontier and a strategic opportunity for Armenia’s engineering

economy.

AEW 2026 will bring together Armenia’s high-tech community, international technology leaders, engineering

companies, researchers, students, policymakers, investors, and industry partners to explore one of the most important

shifts in technology today: the movement of artificial intelligence from digital environments into the physical world.

Under the theme “Physical AI: Engineering Intelligence for the Real World,” the event will examine how AI is becoming

part of machines, devices, factories, vehicles, infrastructure, and industrial systems — and what this means for economic

competitiveness, talent development, product innovation, and national technological capability.

This theme is especially relevant for Armenia. With Engineering City developing as a platform for advanced

engineering, R&D, prototyping, and collaboration between industry, academia, and global partners, Armenia has an

opportunity to strengthen its position beyond software and participate more deeply in the creation of intelligent physical

systems. This includes areas such as robotics, embedded systems, semiconductors, industrial automation, mobility, test

and measurement, advanced manufacturing, and AI-enabled engineering workflows.

AEW 2026 will frame Physical AI as both a global technology frontier and a strategic opportunity for Armenia. Through

keynote talks, discussions, technical showcases, demonstrations, and expo activities, the event will help participants

understand where technology is moving, what capabilities will matter, and how Armenia’s high-tech ecosystem can

connect more effectively to global engineering and industrial value chains.
