REAL ROBOTICS BUILDERS

A meetup for people actually building robots that work. No hype. No pretenders. Just engineers, founders, and builders pushing the frontier of robotics in Shenzhen.

Reality Check

Let's be honest: most humanoid robots aren't selling yet. Boston Dynamics has demos. Neo is taking orders but delivering teleoperated units. Even Unitree's orders raise questions about actual utility. That's exactly why we need to talk — to separate signal from noise and find the people doing meaningful work.

WHO THIS IS FOR

We want to meet the people who are too busy building to attend most meetups.

CTOs & Engineers
Robotics Founders
Product Managers
Research Engineers
Hardware Hackers
AI/ML Engineers

WHO THIS ISN'T FOR

Nothing personal. We just want focused conversations with builders.

"Idea Guys"
Pitch Deck Warriors
Hype Tourists
LinkedIn Networkers

THE OPPORTUNITY

  • Discuss state of the art developments in the Chinese robotics field
  • Talk to Engineers who've shipped product
  • Learn about the Hardware supply chain in Shenzhen and how to use it for robotics
  • Factory visits

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Small group, high signal conversations
  • Technical discussions welcome
  • No slides, no pitches
  • Share what you're building (or struggling with)
  • Connect with people doing real work

💡
Think you're "not experienced enough"?
If you're actually building something — even if it's early, messy, or "just a side project" — you're exactly who we want to meet. The people who think they only know a little usually know more than the loudest voices in the room. Motivation > credentials. Apply anyway.
