Is legged locomotion actually a solved problem? In this episode of RobTalk, Felix Frank from our Robot Intelligence team explains how legged robots learn to walk, and why going from an impressive stage demo to a reliable real-world deployment is still one of the hardest open problems in robotics.
Do dancing robots we see prove that autonomous robotics has been solved? Autonomous Robotics are becoming more impressive every year. They can dance, run marathons and perform movements that seemed impossible just a few years ago. But does that mean they’re ready for real industrial applications?
Industry 5.0 is not a tech upgrade. It is a different question entirely. Where Industry 4.0 asked what machines can do, Industry 5.0 asks where we want to be as a society. That shift changes everything: Who writes the standards, what factories are optimized for, and what the real role of AI and robotics actually is.
How do robots go from human instruction to real movement? Telling a robot to “pick up a box” sounds simple. But behind that command is a complex chain of decisions: understanding language, interpreting the environment, choosing the right action and turning it into physical movement.
How do you actually teach an AI-powered robot? For decades, robots in industry have followed one principle: You program every single step. Every movement. Every position. Every exception. And if something changes, you start again. That approach is reaching its limits.
90% of robot prototypes never make it to real factories. They work in a closed lab. They look impressive on video. And then reality hits. In this episode, we break down what actually separates a convincing prototype from a system that runs reliably in production.
Dancing robots. Kung-fu moves. Humanoid acrobatics all over the feed. But does that mean Physical AI has actually arrived? In this episode, Clemens, Principal Engineer at RobCo, shares what Physical AI really means for industrial automation and where the technology stands today.
How do you go from being a computer passionate to helping shape an AI-first robotics company? This episode is about Clemens. His journey. His decisions. And why he is exactly where he is today.
