Ep 54 | Work hard, make it fail less and get better (w/ Sankaet Pathak)

In this episode, I talk with Sankaet Pathak, founder of Foundation. Their first product? A humanoid robot built for real-world tasks:

Foundation is an advanced technology company developing autonomous machines. Why start with humanoids?

To automate labour across manufacturing, logistics, and defence.

Sankaet shares his journey from computer engineering and physics at the University of Memphis to leading AI and robotics innovation.

We discuss why current AI models struggle with real-world physics, why Foundation is taking a different approach to autonomy, and what it will take to bring humanoid robots from labs to everyday work.

This episode is packed with bold ideas and hard tech insights; hope you enjoy it!
