In this episode, Evan Helda, Head of Physical AI at Nebius, sits down with Lukas to explore the shift from Robotics 1.0 to Robotics 2.0: a world where you don't program a robot, you just tell it what to do.
They discuss why the humanoid debate has been asking the wrong question, why the data gap between LLMs and robotics is vastly misunderstood, and why the companies that will win are already co-building with end users rather than shipping to them.
They also get into storytelling: why public exposure builds trust in robots faster than any marketing campaign ever could.
