Dronski’s Watchlist.

Chip cycle, frontier compute, and the picks-and-shovels powering the AI buildout.

Optical transceivers, silicon photonics, and the laser-driver semis at the physical interface of AI clusters. Picks-and-shovels inside the picks-and-shovels.

Power generation, datacenter capacity, and former crypto miners pivoting to AI compute. Situational Awareness LP thesis playing out.

Launch cadence, satellite constellations, direct-to-cell, and lunar/defense-adjacent space plays.

Modernization buildout, autonomous systems, software-defined warfare, and supply-chain reshoring.

Industrial-automation incumbents, the humanoid bill-of-materials, and pre-IPO names. The granular robotics value chain is broken out in the categories that follow.

The robot's senses — LiDAR, imaging radar, machine vision, and force/touch sensors that let machines perceive the physical world.

The robot's brain — edge-AI inference silicon, low-power processors, FPGAs, and the semiconductor IP underneath physical AI.

The robot's body — motors, drives, encoders, and the precision-motion and assembly gear that turns compute into movement.

Machines that move themselves — robotaxis, autonomous trucking, ADAS stacks, and the humanoids riding the same physical-AI wave.

Robots already earning their keep — warehouse systems, service and delivery bots, and field/subsea autonomy deployed in the real world today.

Precision robotics in the operating room — the highest-stakes, highest-margin deployment of autonomous-assist hardware.

One-ticker baskets — diversified or pre-IPO robotics exposure for the names you can't buy directly.

Trapped-ion, superconducting, photonic, and annealing systems. Plus the post-quantum security layer compliance is starting to mandate.

High short-interest names with squeeze setup. The 'Watching' bucket pulls the top-probability candidates from Short Squeeze Radar.

Oil sands, nuclear, special situations from the smart-money playbook (Einhorn / Tepper / Ackman).
