FLEXOO joins GABA LinkedIn Live to discuss Physical AI

Discussing why AI reaches its limits in physical environments

FLEXOO will participate in an upcoming GABA (German American Business Association) LinkedIn Live session titled:

“Physical AI – Why today’s AI systems reach their limits in physical environments”

The live session will take place on May 13, at 8:00 am Pacific Time (5:00 pm CEST) and will explore why many AI approaches struggle once they leave digital domains and enter real‑world physical systems — and why Physical AI is becoming increasingly relevant across industrial applications.

About the session

The LinkedIn Live will be moderated by Jock Breitwieser, CMO of GABA.
Representing FLEXOO as guests are:

  • Michael Kröger, Co‑Founder and CEO, FLEXOO GmbH
  • Sieer Angar, Co‑Founder and Chairman of the Board, FLEXOO GmbH

The discussion is hosted by GABA, a network connecting German and U.S. technology and industry communities, with a strong focus on transatlantic exchange.

Key discussion topics

The conversation will cover several core questions shaping the Physical‑AI discourse, including:

  • Why Physical AI matters now — and how it differs from purely digital AI approaches
  • Why the main bottleneck for AI in physical systems is often data access, not algorithms
  • How sensing at contact surfaces enables new forms of interaction and control
  • FLEXOO’s role in building a reliable physical data layer for Physical AI
  • Germany and Europe as proving grounds for Physical AI — and transatlantic collaboration opportunities

From research to real systems

The session was planned following discussions at Hannover Messe, where FLEXOO presented a live demonstrator highlighting the difference between vision‑based AI and Physical AI approaches grounded in real‑world sensing. These observations form part of the background for the upcoming conversation.
