In a physical world problems are larger, motion has purpose, and weight is more than a number. In the physical world intelligence is more than code—it is action, efficient, and embodied.

Actuate 25 was incredible! Thank you to all our speakers, sponsors, attendees, and most of all to the Foxglove team for making it happen! The positive feedback we received this year has been truly humbling. Let’s take things to the next level in 2026 - bring your friends!

Missed Foxglove's Actuate? Then you missed me and three other awesome robotics engineers saying "it depends" for 45 minutes on the "should you use ROS2?" panel (kidding). Hopefully folks left with some real insight into the ROS trade space. Already excited for next year!

America cannot loose the robotics race with China. We're behind and the implications are far greater than previous races like solar & telecom/5g. We must prioritize national policy and investment to support US robotics end to end 🦾

Had a great time attending #Actuate2025, hearing from fellow roboticists building autonomy in the real world, and sharing our quest Zipline to scale autonomy to every backyard!

This is the correct take. Winning at robotics is not a regulatory problem, it’s a manufacturing problem.

I think one of the reasons VCs are all over SaaS is because there are well defined metrics, benchmarks, and predictable scaling. We need this for manufacturing. US capital markets are our competitive advantage, let’s deploy it.

Foxglove or it didn’t happen

Shit just got real, this is a very broad export ban on components containing rare earths, as currently written it could apply to most electronics

This isn’t China. This is Long Beach, California. Over 100 transport containers move autonomously between quayside cranes, storage yards, and rail transfer points. The vehicles can achieve a maximum speed of 13 mph, and can transport containers that are up to 70 tonnes.

Why does everyone just sit around watching reruns of The Office when there is a country to reindustrialize?
