UVIFY COO Robert Cheek to Discuss Physical AI and the Future of Warfare at VDS 2026

VALENCIA, Spain - Rezul -- UVIFY announced that Chief Operating Officer and Board Member Robert Cheek will speak at VDS 2026, taking place October 21–22 at the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain.

Cheek will join the October 21 panel, "The Human-Machine Battlefield: How AI, Autonomy, and Robotics Are Defining Modern Warfare," examining how Physical AI, autonomous systems, and robotics are transforming military capabilities and the future of defense.

"The future of warfare will not be determined by who develops the most impressive technology demonstration, but by who can turn innovation into reliable, scalable operational capability," said Cheek. "Physical AI, autonomous robotics, and digital twins are opening extraordinary possibilities. The challenge is translating that potential into systems that perform reliably in the real world."
