Today, we're joined by Nikita Rudin, co-founder and CEO of Flexion to discuss the gap between current robotic capabilities and what’s required to deploy fully autonomous robots in the real world. Nikita explains how reinforcement learning and simulation have driven rapid progress in robot locomotion—and why locomotion is still far from “solved.” We dig into the sim2real gap, and how adding visual inputs introduces noise and significantly complicates sim-to-real transfer. We also explore the debate between end-to-end models and modular approaches, and why separating locomotion, planning, and semantics remains a pragmatic approach today. Nikita also introduces the concept of "real-to-sim", which uses real-world data to refine simulation parameters for higher fidelity training, discusses how reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and teleoperation data are combined to train robust policies for both quadruped and humanoid robots, and introduces Flexion's hierarchical approach that utilizes pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for high-level task orchestration with Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and low-level whole-body trackers. Finally, Nikita shares the behind-the-scenes in humanoid robot demos, his take on reinforcement learning in simulation versus the real world, the nuances of reward tuning, and offers practical advice for researchers and practitioners looking to get started in robotics today. 🗒️ For the full list of resources for this episode, visit the show notes page: 📖 CHAPTERS =============================== 00:00 - Introduction 04:07 - Is robot locomotion solved? 06:04 - Sim-to-real gap 08:58 - Adding semantics to policies 09:42 - Modular vs end-to-end architectures 10:29 - Planner model 12:21 - Adapting RL techniques from quadrupeds to humanoids 15:39 - Behind robot demos 18:09 - Humanoid robots in home environments 22:03 - Training approach 23:56 - VLA models 27:59 - Closing the sim-to-real gap 32:55 - Task orchestration using VLMs 36:38 - Tool use 38:10 - Model hierarchy 43:37 - Simulator versus simulation environment 44:57 - Combining imitation learning and reinforcement learning 46:42 - RL in real world versus RL in simulation 52:58 - Reward tuning and value functions in robotics 56:38 - Predictions 1:00:10 - Humanoids, quadropeds, and wheeled platforms 1:02:45 - Advice, recommended robot kits, and community pla

My conversation with Sergey Levine (Sergey Levine). Sergey is the co-founder of Physical Intelligence -- a company building foundation models that can control any robot to do any task in any environment. The company's thesis is that generality is more scalable than specialization, meaning that a model trained across many different robots and tasks will ultimately outperform any system built to do one thing well (eg, just wash dishes). Sergey is a researcher by background, but I think you will appreciate how practical and commercially grounded this conversation is. We discuss: - Why changing a diaper will be the last task a robot masters - The simulation v. real-world data debate - How multimodal LLMs give robots common sense - Moravec's Paradox + Robot Olympics - Why robots can do long-horizon tasks now - A realistic timeline for robots in our homes I should note that I am an investor in Physical Intelligence -- I made the investment because I believe it is one of the most important companies tackling the problem of robotics.

Godfather of AI Yann LeCun reveals the humanoid robot industry's secret: the companies building the robots have no idea how to make them smart enough to be useful. "There is a lot of expectations that robotics is going to be a revolution, essentially, in a big market, eventually." "But the secret of the industry is that none of the companies at the moment that are building robots, like humanoid robots, none of those companies has any idea how to make those robots smart enough to be useful." "There's a big push for AI to make progress towards... understanding the physical world. That's what is prompting this investment." "There's nothing wrong with investing in LLMs. LLMs are useful. They're just addressing a completely different set of applications, really." LeCun is not describing someone else's problem. He has spent 15 years on world models, raised more than $1 billion for AMI Labs to build that missing intelligence layer, and in the same interview he calls 2026 the year of the world model and puts consumer robots 3 to 5 years out. Every humanoid robot demo you have seen is a body waiting for a brain. The winner in robotics will not be the company that shipped the body; it will be the one that ships the intelligence. - Yann LeCun (Yann LeCun), Turing Award winner and founder of AMI Labs, on Bloomberg Television.

Karol Hausman is the co-founder and CEO of Physical Intelligence, a robotics company building a general-purpose “AI brain for the physical world.” The company has raised more than $1 billion in funding to develop foundation models that allow robots to operate across many machines, environments, and tasks rather than being programmed for a single purpose. In our conversation, we explore: • The moment a lecture from Sergey Levine convinced him to abandon his PhD research direction and pivot fully to deep learning • The case for building a general “AI brain” for the physical world rather than a single specialized robot • The role of real-world data in training robots, the limits of simulation, and how deployment could create a powerful data flywheel • The unique challenges of physical intelligence and why robots must operate with far higher reliability than language models Thank you to the partners who make this possible - Brex: The intelligent finance platform: - Granola: The app that might actually make you love meetings: Timestamps (00:00) Intro (04:05) Karol’s early fascination with robots (18:21) Karol’s entry point to robotics and PhD program (25:49) Combining robotics with LLMs: The Taylor Swift demo (30:48) The 1970s SHRDLU AI experiment (39:40) How research shapes what Physical Intelligence builds (49:07) The return of reinforcement learning in robotics (1:00:00) NVIDIA’s simulation engines (1:07:31) Compensating for missing senses

Twitter boi, do you want to see a humanoid AI lab from the inside? Well I do ;) Join me to visit Flexion A world-leading lab building the AI brains for humanoids – in Zurich, one of the best hubs for Physical AI. Their goal? Build the Android of robotics. One operating system that works on any humanoid hardware. It is crazy what their robots can do. We pushed a robot on the stairs. It didn't care. They left one in a rainy forest it was never trained on. Chilled and hiked there. And because they let robots train on their own, from zero through reinforcement learning, the robots do odd inhuman things. Eg they stand up from the ground in ways no human ever would. If their humanoid brain works, this will be industry defining. This is why Flexion is one of Europe's Most Ambitious Startups. 🇪🇺🔥 0:00 Intro 0:38 Inside a Lab with 14 Humanoids 2:17 What’s Actually Inside a Humanoid? 4:43 The Robot Navigates on Its Own 6:31 Why Grasping Is So Hard 7:01 Stairs, Pushes, and Balance Tests 7:55 Training 4,000 Robots in Parallel 10:50 Teleoperation vs Reinforcement Learning 14:35 The Case for Humanoids 15:55 Why Europe Could Win Robotics Please like & RT 🙏
