The Complete Hardware Stage Agenda at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023
Augmented Reality Finds Its Focus
Even the most impressive technology can struggle to find its market. One of hardware’s most well-funded startups, Magic Leap, didn’t take the consumer world by storm. CEO Peggy Johnson has led the company’s pivot to focus on enterprise applications, launching a second-generation device and forging partnerships with enterprise players along the way.
Has Augmented Reality’s Moment Finally Arrived?
With Meta, HTC, and now Apple vying for a piece of the market, it’s clear that augmented reality is a hot topic. But has its moment finally arrived?
Join us as we explore the future of augmented reality with Peggy Johnson, CEO of Magic Leap.
Empowering the Future
Marc Raibert and Gill Pratt go way back. Raibert founded MIT’s highly influential Leg Lab, while Pratt served as director. In recent years, the pair’s work has converged in fascinating ways. Pratt currently heads up the Toyota Research Institute, while Raibert runs the newly formed Boston Dynamics AI Institute.
Both Organizations Are Devoted to Pure Research
In fields such as robotics, AI, and automotive, both organizations are pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Join us as we discuss the future of research with Gill Pratt, chief scientist at Toyota Motor Corporation, and Marc Raibert, executive director at the AI Institute.
Automation Education
Alphabet X graduate Intrinsic was founded with a lofty goal: making programming robots accessible. The company is far from the first to tackle the problem but has a lot going for it, including Google’s immense resources.
Joining Us Are
CEO Wendy Tan White and Brian Gerkey, who joined the team from Open Robotics in December.
Getting a Leg Up
Agility cracked the code on bipedal robots with its Digit system. Now it’s looking to put its technology to work. CEO Damion Shelton and CTO Melonee Wise will discuss why the company is taking a different approach to the wheel-dominated world of warehouse robotics.
The Future of Warehouse Robotics

What’s Next for Robotics
After conquering warehouses during the pandemic, what comes next for automation? Agriculture, construction, and healthcare are all safe bets.
Joining Us Are
Farm-ng’s Claire Delaunay, Dusty Robotics’ Tessa Lau, and Diligent’s Andrea Thomaz will discuss where robots go from here.
Crowdfunding the Future
For more than a decade, Kickstarter’s name has been synonymous with crowdfunding, but the last few years have brought their share of challenges for the platform. Everette Taylor, who stepped into the CEO role at the end of 2022, will discuss how the company is adapting to face the future.
