EP 485: Humanoids in our world. How it’ll work and what’s next

This Everyday AI podcast episode interviews Pras Velagipudi, CTO of Agility Robotics, about the advancements in humanoid robotics. The discussion covers the current capabilities of humanoid robots, their real-world applications (primarily in logistics and manufacturing), and future possibilities, including home use. Velagipudi highlights Agility's use of NVIDIA technologies, such as ISAAC Lab and NVIDIA Mega, to improve robot control and simulation. A key takeaway is that humanoid robots are moving beyond lab demos and are currently performing useful tasks in industrial settings, working eight-hour shifts (though capable of more). The interview concludes by addressing safety concerns and the potential for future applications in retail and healthcare.
