On 23 November at OGR Torino, AI4I’s Physical Holistic Intelligence Lab Director will discuss how machines learn, adapt and interact with the real world.
How can artificial intelligence move beyond the digital domain and acquire the ability to perceive, learn and act in the physical world? This is the central question of “Let’s Get Physical”, the next event in the Mind Machines – AI Dialogues series, taking place on 23 November 2026 at 6.30 PM at OGR Torino.
Among the speakers will be Leonel Rozo, Director of the Physical Holistic Intelligence (PHI) Lab at the Italian Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI4I), whose research focuses on machine learning, intelligent robotic systems and physical interaction.
Physical AI is one of the most promising frontiers of artificial intelligence, bringing together robotics, advanced learning models and autonomous systems. Its development could transform industrial automation and manufacturing, enabling machines to operate in complex environments, adapt to unexpected situations and acquire new skills through experience.
The discussion will explore the evolution of intelligent robotics, from the scientific approaches developed in the 1980s and 1990s to today’s data-driven AI models, examining the challenges and opportunities of bringing artificial intelligence into the physical world.
Mind Machines – AI Dialogues, promoted by AI4I, OGR Torino and Fondazione CRT, is a public series dedicated to the scientific, technological and cultural implications of artificial intelligence.
Joining Rozo will be Gaia Contu, science and philosophy communicator, and Mauro Martini, robotics and AI researcher at Politecnico di Torino. The discussion will be moderated by Laura Morgagni, Head of Business Services at AI4I.
23 November 2026 | 6.30 PM | OGR Torino – Speakers’ Corner
