World Models & the next step for Physical AI Sep 24, 2026 2744 Is 2026 the year world models make Physical AI real? Vision-Language-Action models have become the standard approach to robot learning over the last few years. In this episode, Felix Frank from our Robot Intelligence team explains why the next shift is already underway: world models that predict what happens next before a robot decides what to do. We cover how the field moved from small, task-spec

How Robots Learned to Walk: From Hand-Engineered Control to Reinforcement Learning Aug 27, 2026 2566 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. You'll gain insights into: - Why footstep planning used to mean months of hand-engineered optimizatio

Scripted Demos vs. Real Autonomy: The Truth About Dancing Robots Jul 30, 2026 1837 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? This episode takes an honest look at where the technology actually stands, what those demos can and

Industry 5.0: Future of Manufacturing? Jun 25, 2026 2641 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. You'll gain insights into: - what Industry 5.0 really is, why it comes from a co

How Robots Turn Language into Motion: The AI Stack Behind Physical AI Mai 28, 2026 2611 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. In this episode, Clemens (Principal Engineer) and Robert (Robotics Engineer & Researcher) explain how RobCo approa

How to Teach a Robot: From Moving Arms to Autonomy with Physical AI Apr 30, 2026 2474 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. As environments become less structured and processes more dynamic, the question shifts: How do you move from programming robots

90% of Robot Demos Never Make It to a Real Factory. Here's Why. Mär 31, 2026 1553 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. And why that gap is much harder to close than most people think. You'll gain insights into: - what makes a prototype fail in real dep

Physical AI: The 5 Levels of Robot Autonomy explained Mär 31, 2026 1869 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. You'll gain insights into: - why Large Language Models are just the starting point and what comes after - how robots a

Why robotics is changing everything right now | Clemens Marschner Mär 31, 2026 2788 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. You’ll gain insights into: - his path from early fascination with computers to working in large-scale tech environments - why he chose to join RobCo - what truly fascinates him about AI (beyond the buzz
