Why do so many robots have legs? Is the humanoid form just hype or does physics demand it? I talk with Pras Velagapudi, CTO of Agility Robotics (@agilityrobotics), about how real-world engineering and practical constraints led their team to design a two-legged robot that’s built for actual work—not just to look cool. You'll like this interview if you’re curious about why robot shapes matter, how automation meets the real world, or what it really takes to build a useful robot.

It's hard not to doom scroll on X. I'm trying X Pro with searches around robotics, rather than hoping the algorithm shows me robots. Let's see if this is better 👀

What’s the real value of robotics today? Are we missing the biggest opportunities by chasing hype? I talk with Stefan Seltz-Axmacher (@stefanesa), CEO & Co-Founder of Polymath Robotics (@polymathrobots), and Ilia Baranov (@IliaBaranov), Co-Founder & CTO, about why the most impactful robotics work isn’t always the flashiest—and how their modular autonomy stack is quietly transforming industries like mining, agriculture, and logistics. You'll like this interview if you want to hear how robotics is actually solving labor shortages, why “boring” automation often creates the most value, and what it takes to build a sustainable robotics business in a world obsessed with viral demos.
