Alex and Ellis talk about robotics hype, questionable demos, and
what it really takes to build useful machines. First, we hear from
Alex live in Davos at the World Economic Forum, where they discuss
nightcaps with big wigs, what Thinking Machines was really
thinking, and more.

Then they’re joined by Tony Zhao, founder of Sunday Robotics, to
talk about Memo, a household robot designed for everyday chores.
They discuss why most robotics startups rely on simulations, how
Sunday Robotics is collecting real-world training data with the
Memory Glove, the challenge of making robots feel helpful rather
than threatening, and what it would take for robots to actually
belong in our homes.
