Silicon Valley Unplugged: Physical AI Is Exploding. Robot.com Is Betting Big What does it look like when robots leave the demo stage and put in an honest day’s work in the physical world? That is the subject of this week’s Silicon Valley Unplugged. Sparknify Host Kelby Whitehead sits down with David Rodriguez, Co-Founder of Robot.com, to find out. Robot.com (you may know them by their former name, Kiwibot) are making autonomous units for everything from logistics and delivery to advertising and humanoid labor. Yet with AI and robotics moving at such a pace, one has to ask: what is the impact once they are reliable and affordable enough to be our colleagues on a large scale? Kelby and David get into that and more. They cover the advent of Physical AI, the economics of real world deployment, and whether we should expect robots to take over human jobs. There is also some talk of how the global supply chain and geopolitical headwinds might change the face of the industry. Is the robot revolution still a few years off or upon us already? To get the answer from one of the people building it, tune in to this episode.
