The Future of Robotics Hype, Breakthroughs, and Challenges with Professor Russ Tedrake
Russ Tedrake
Professor, EECS, Aero/Astro, MechE,

Host Kara Miller sits down with Professor Russ Tedrake, a leading researcher in robotics and AI at CSAIL to explore the rapidly accelerating world of humanoid and intelligent robots.
Tedrake takes us behind the scenes of the robotics revolution—from the cultural resistance and skepticism, to the moment everything shifted. Today, major tech leaders are declaring humanoid robots “the biggest product in human history.” But is that true? Is it hype, or are we on the edge of a real technological turning point?
