#732 Hands-on Physical AI with Kevin Cloutier
Kevin Cloutier is the North American Lead for Physical AI at a global engineering consulting firm and a computer engineer who is passionate about taking complex computations to the edge. He joins Chris to discuss the transition from legacy, statically programmed factory robotics to modern, imitation-learning-based "Physical AI," building and calibrating the affordable $200 3D-printed SO101 robot arm using the LeRobot open-source framework or Intel's Physical AI Studio, and orchestrating complex robotic systems entirely on local edge hardware.
