The Rise of Physical AI How Robotics is Redefining Automation

AI is no longer limited to code and algorithms. It is now moving into the physical world, powering robots that can see, move, and make decisions in real time. From warehouse automation to intelligent machines that adapt to complex environments, Physical AI is reshaping industries faster than ever before.

In this episode of the Future Pulse Podcast, Andrew Meyer, CEO of Pickle Robot, joins Melica Moshiri to discuss how robotics and AI are transforming supply chains and the future of work. Andrew explains how Pickle Robot is developing advanced systems to automate truck unloading, the challenges of building dexterous robots, and the exciting new frontier of Physical AI.

The conversation explores how AI-driven machines can enhance human jobs rather than replace them, the importance of adaptability in robotics, and what the next decade of automation could look like, from automated forklifts to drone deliveries.

If you are curious about how robotics and AI intersect in the real world, this episode offers an insightful look at how technology is shaping the next phase of industrial innovation.
