Build, Industrialize, Scale: Physical AI, Proven for the Real World
Physical AI is moving beyond research. The real challenge is making it work reliably, safely and at scale in the physical world.
At Aixia Innovation Day 2026, Erik Coelingh, CTO at Zenseact, will take the stage to explore what it takes to turn advanced AI into technology that can operate in complex real-world environments.
Using autonomous driving as the starting point, Erik will show how algorithms alone are not enough. Building scalable physical AI requires the combination of data, infrastructure, engineering expertise and safety guardrails, all working together as one system.
Erik has pioneered Active Safety technologies for more than 20 years. Through various technical roles at Volvo Cars, he has helped deliver world-first technologies used in millions of vehicles worldwide. Today, he is behind Zenseact’s technology approach for a scalable software stack, combining the latest developments in end-to-end deep learning with safety guardrails built on decades of safety heritage.
But the lessons go far beyond passenger cars.
As AI increasingly moves from screens and software into machines, vehicles and the physical world, the ability to build, industrialize and scale becomes critical.
Join Erik at Aixia Innovation Day to explore what it takes to make Physical AI not only possible, but proven for the real world.
