Robots, Sushi & Supply Chain

Come on down to Cavalla Industries in Dogpatch on June 20th for an evening where supply chains actually get interesting. Yes, really. We're pulling back the curtain on some of the latest advances in supply chain tech, and we're doing it over fresh sushi. In case that wasn't clear enough.

Ticket includes:

Sushi

Drinks

Entertainment

Dress code is steel toes and aprons (kidding). However, this is a working facility, not a conference room, so come ready to get a real look at what these machines can do up close.

We will be walking guests through what's new and what's next across both the robotics and supply chain technology space.

Come curious, come hungry, and come wearing appropriate footwear. Cavalla's North American HQ at 1630 Tennessee St in SF is the spot. We'll see you there on the 20th.

Featured Guest Speaker: Aayush Agrawal

Aayush is Head of Engineering and a founding team member at Cavalla, where he is building the next generation of autonomous forklifts. He architects the company's core autonomy stack, spanning perception, localization, planning, and safety-critical systems, for deployment in live warehouses. Before Cavalla, Aayush earned a graduate degree from Carnegie Mellon and an undergraduate degree from IIT Madras. At CMU, he was a perception researcher at the AIRLab, contributed to BMW-funded research at the CMU AV Center, and engineered systems for the DARPA Triage Challenge. He previously co-founded TelebortiX, a heavy-payload VTOL drone company serving the Indian defence market, and led a 50-engineer team building India’s first fully indigenous L5 autonomous shuttle. His work has been adopted by industry leaders, including Caterpillar, Harman, and Smith & Nephew.

During the talk, Aayush will take an in-depth look at how Cavalla has approached deployment across multiple live sites, walking through the end-to-end process the team follows to bring a new facility online. He will dig into what it takes to build and refine autonomy on the go, adapting the stack in real time to the realities of each environment, and will share the biggest findings and hard-won lessons from deploying autonomy into already live operations across multiple deployments.
