Chicago & New York, July 2025 — This month, AIRA showcased its pioneering Physical AI platform at two of the construction industry’s most influential gatherings: the BuiltWorlds Construction Tech Conference in Chicago and the VentureOut Built Environment Summit in New York.
With CEO Tom Lipinski representing the team, AIRA joined hundreds of leaders, investors, and founders to shape the conversation around how real-world AI and robotics are transforming how we build.
BuiltWorlds: Practical AI for Complex Jobsites
At BuiltWorlds—this year’s most attended edition yet—AIRA contributed to discussions on automation, AI integration, and real-world deployment. The company’s Physical AI training platform, which bridges the Robot Data Gap using time-and-space accurate jobsite data, resonated with key industry challenges around:
- Onsite productivity and automation
- Structured, trustworthy data for AI training
- Rapid, ROI-driven deployment strategies
“Construction teams don’t need theory—they need results. AIRA’s platform gets Physical AI out of the lab and onto the jobsite,” said Maddy Clifford, Head of Product.
VentureOut: Robots at the Forefront of Construction Innovation
The following week in New York, AIRA joined a curated group of startups, investors, and experts at the VentureOut Built Environment Summit. The three-day event highlighted how AI, robotics, and data are enabling the next generation of construction and infrastructure technologies.
Tom spoke on Day 2 alongside leaders from Kwant.ai and T2D2, emphasizing the importance of building AI that delivers performance in live, operational environments.
“In a stormy New York, we spoke about how robots and Physical AI will transform construction in the next five years,” Tom Lipinski, CEO shared. “VentureOut brought together the right minds to make that vision real.”
From Simulation to Deployment
At both conferences, AIRA’s core message stood out: Real abilities through real data. By providing agent-ready, high-fidelity world models rooted in actual site conditions, AIRA shortens the path from training to deployment—and unlocks scalable, safe robotics in construction.
