Physical AI has crossed the threshold from experimentation to deployment, with billions flowing into robotics, autonomy, and defense systems worldwide. At the Drones & Robotics AI Summit 2026, leaders across the ecosystem showcased how advances in AI, hydrogen power, and quantum technologies are enabling machines to operate in contested, GPS-denied environments. As warfare and commercial infrastructure converge, a new era of autonomous capability is emerging – faster, quieter, and far more intelligent than anything before it. The next frontier isn’t just AI; it’s autonomy powered by quantum.
