In this episode, we recap RoboBusiness 2023 and the recent news of Amazon testing Agility Robotics Digit humanoid.
Our featured interview on this episode is with Dr. Kate Darling, who is joining Marc Raibert in her dream job at the AI Institute to head up its AI and ethics research. We talk to Kate about everything from AI and humanoid robots to her kids’ love affair with the Marty robot at the local Stop and Shop supermarket.
This is a long episode, but there was so much to talk about with Kate, that we didn’t want to cut anything out.
