AI For Real — Ep. 2: Open-Source Robotics & the Future of Physical AI with Ville Kuosmanen (Voyage Robotics)In this episode, we dive into the frontier of physical AI — where robots move, learn, and adapt like humans. Our guest, Ville Kuosmanen, founder of Voyage Robotics, is building open tools for the next generation of embodied intelligence.We talk about the “ChatGPT moment” for robotics, what’s holding it back, and how open-source collaboration might get us there faster.Brought to you by LisbonAI — the AI conference for builders (Nov 3–4, Lisbon).No keynotes. No fluff. Just brains and demos.What you’ll learn- Why most industrial robots don’t have AI — and what’s changing- What “humanlike robots” really means (hint: it’s not about appearance)- How foundation models and vision-based control will transform robotics- Why reliability — not raw intelligence — is the key bottleneck- The role of humans-in-the-loop for edge cases and safety- Real-world use cases: from home robotics to elderly care- Why open-source robotics matters — and how it can outpace DeepMind & Tesla- How interpretability and “robot attention maps” can make AI safer- Voyage Robotics’ mission to make AI-powered robots reliable, explainable, and open-----------------------------------------------------------------------------About AI FRAI For Real is a LisbonAI podcast, live series with makers who ship in public - models, agents, infrastructure, robotics, and the weird experiments that become products.If you're a builder, join us in Lisbon at https://lisbonai.xyz
