Xavi Ginesta built Voxel into the world leader in B2B travel payments, then sold it to chase a different question entirely: who are we, really? In this conversation, he traces the arc from conscious capitalism to The Festival of Consciousness, from his book Humanitas with the mystic Sergi Torres to a research practice on the future of human potential. At the center is a deceptively simple claim — that the scarcity mindset sets a ceiling on everything we can become, that love is the actual driver of the universe, and that the only way past the ceiling is the inner work no decision can shortcut. Christine and Xavi move through altered states, and the limits of the senses, the brain as receiver rather than generator, a clear-eyed critique of transhumanism, and a practical invitation to let the heart lead and the mind execute.In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:(00:00:00) Introduction to Xavi: The Festival of Consciousness, Voxel and Humanitas(00:04:47) Xavi's Business Journey And The Birth Of Voxel(00:09:11) Creating The Festival Of Consciousness And Finding Joy(00:16:13) Meeting Mystic Co‑Author Sergey Torres And Their Book “Humanitas”(00:20:31) The Question Of “Who Am I?” And Knowing What We Are Not(00:23:25) Consciousness, Reality, and Glimpses Beyond Sensory Domination(00:27:49) Expanded States, Scientific Evidence, And A Wider Aperture Of Awareness(00:29:53) Researching Human Potential And The Power Of Symbiotic Cooperation(00:34:59) How The Scarcity Mindset Limits Our Collective Purpose Frequency(00:36:35) Letting Go Of Control And Trusting Evolution Over Rational Planning(00:39:29) Embodied AI, Humanoid Robots, And Questions Of Experience(00:42:30) Brain As Receiver, Not Generator, And Emerging Scientific Evidence(00:44:05) Love As The Fundamental Nature Of Consciousness(00:49:20) Inner Transformation, Belief Systems, And The Limits Of Willpower(00:51:39) Practical Paths To Inner Work(00:58:10) Closing Reflections and InvitationHelpful links:Xavi Ginesta - Founder of Voxel and Humanitas Foundation.

Our guest on this week's episode is Kathy Fulton, executive director at the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN). It is officially the beginning of hurricane season – a period where these storms, as well as tornados and other natural disasters, such as this week's earthquakes in Venezuela, leave behind considerable damage to towns in their wakes. It is during these times that the logistics industry snaps into action to help those in affected areas, as today's guest discusses with our DC Velocity senior editor, Victoria Kickham. Those of us who grew up in the Jetsons and Star Wars eras have been imagining for a long time the advantages that humanoid robots could bring to everyday tasks. Senior News Editor Ben Ames has been tracking just how rapidly humanoid robotic technologies are now advancing.Hundreds of millions of containers ship worldwide every year and almost all of them make it safely to their destinations. However, there are some containers that do not - as Victoria Kickham reported this week. The number of shipping containers lost at sea more than doubled in 2025, driven by some major maritime accidents as well as severe weather.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:American Logistics Aid Newwork (ALAN)Humanoid robots could drive hot demand for co-bot armsAgility Robotics will go public to boost rollout of humanoid robotsVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: Werner

Stewart Alsop hosts a conversation with Oliver Polzin, a founding team member of Meow Wolf and naturalist, exploring the intersection of creativity, conservation, and architecture. Oliver discusses his current postgraduate work at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles studying synthetic landscapes through an architectural lens, his deep fascination with Pleistocene megafauna and the La Brea Tar Pits, and his vision for creating a "biophilic culture" that reframes humanity's relationship with other species and ecosystems. The discussion ranges from Oliver's early work building mud caves at Meow Wolf to his current explorations of AI-assisted design tools, 3D printing with recycled materials, holistic grazing management systems for the Great Plains, and the ancient Amazonian practice of creating terra preta soil—all part of his broader investigation into how we can design interventions for climate and conservation issues while maintaining what makes us fundamentally human.Timestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Oliver Polzin from Meow Wolf's founding team and discusses how his yoga teaching there inspired the podcast's exploration of creativity and stress relationships.05:00 Oliver describes his architecture graduate program studying climate and conservation through synthetic landscapes, contrasting dark green naturalist ecology with bright green capitalist environmentalism.10:00 Discussion of conservation ethics and AI's potential for monitoring environmental systems, with Oliver explaining his journey from painting to experimental mud construction at early Meow Wolf.15:00 Stewart shares his robotics learning journey with ESP32s in Buenos Aires while Oliver questions humanoid robot design, suggesting functional form factors matter more than human resemblance.20:00 Oliver explores cardboard as material obsession and explains treasure hunt mechanics in Meow Wolf exhibits, creating dopamine-driven discovery experiences through layered storytelling.25:00 Stewart describes creating treasure hunts for Spanish learners in Buenos Aires parks while Oliver validates experiential art's growing importance in an increasingly digital culture.30:00 Conversation shifts to three-d printing flexible filaments for architectural models and Oliver's megafauna book project about La Brea Tar Pits Pleistocene fossils.35:00 Oliver connects Earth consciousness to Pale Blue Dot perspective, arguing humans face developmental threshold understanding planetary responsibility after 300,000 years as anatomically modern species.40:00 Deep dive into end-Pleistocene extinction events and megafauna loss, discussing two-ton capybaras and how predator relationships shaped human psychology and anxiety responses.45:00 Oliver presents speculative Great Plains biopreserve concept with de-extinct megafauna, contrasting holistic rotational grazing with destructive monoculture agriculture systems.50:00 Discussion concludes with Amazonian dark earth technology and indigenous landscape management, emphasizing need for biophilic culture embracing deep time ecological perspective.Key Insights1. Oliver Polzin is part of the founding team of Meow Wolf and is currently studying at SCI-Arc in Downtown LA in a postgraduate program called Synthetic Landscapes, which examines global scale climate and conservation issues through an architectural lens. Architecture exists between art and science, and he believes architectural thinking offers a valuable framework for designing interventions for climate and conservation challenges. This program represents a significant evolution from his earlier work at Meow Wolf, where he created immersive experiential art installations using materials like adobe and cardboard.2. There is an important distinction in ecological thought between what Paul Kingsnorth calls dark green and light green approaches to environmentalism. The dark green strain represents the older naturalist movement from the early twentieth century, focusing on biological systems, ecosystems, and endangered species. Light green emerged in the 1970s after the Earth Day movement and centers on clean energy, solar panels, and wind power as a way to maintain our current lifestyle. Oliver argues that the bright green approach represents a capitalist overlay that has captured the conservation movement, whereas true conservation requires focusing on actual biological systems rather than just technological solutions.3. The experiential art form that Meow Wolf pioneered still has enormous untapped potential, particularly as society becomes increasingly digital. Oliver believes there will be a huge wave of experiential desire in this decade as people crave human connection and real-world excitement. The treasure hunt and scavenger hunt format represents a compelling form of real-life RPG that creates meaningful human interactions. This type of experience design, which Meow Wolf developed through installations like the House of Eternal Return, plays with human dopamine systems by compelling people to open doors, explore spaces, and follow narrative threads through physical environments.4. The architectural model or dollhouse concept represents a crucial rhetorical tool that Oliver is learning to apply to climate and conservation work. Architects have long created physical models to show stakeholders what a building will be like, and this practice of showing a story in compelling ways for different types of brains is essential for getting traction on projects. While architectural models used to be made from foam core, paper, and balsa wood, they are now largely created through 3D printing, which allows for incredibly complex forms and interlocking structures that would have been impossible to construct manually.5. Oliver is obsessed with megafauna and the end Pleistocene extinction event that occurred roughly twelve thousand years ago. For three hundred thousand years, anatomically modern humans existed alongside massive beasts like short faced bears and American lions, and we were the smaller creatures in the ecosystem. The extinction of over one hundred genera of animals over ninety nine pounds, combined with sea level rise of nearly four hundred feet, fundamentally changed human existence and led to the development of agriculture and civilization. Much of our current psychological development, including anxiety responses, is still based on this time period when we lived among these massive animals.6. The current food system in the Great Plains is fundamentally broken compared to the historical managed food system maintained by Plains tribes, who sustained thirty to sixty million bison through 1800. Oliver explored a speculative project about turning the Great Plains into a massive biopreserve of de-extinct megafauna, contrasting the natural system of rotational grazing where predators keep herds moving with the current monoculture crop agriculture that requires external inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. The natural system builds soil and increases fecundity, while industrial agriculture degrades soil, creates toxic runoff, and produces genetically modified crops that feed animals in toxic concentrated feeding operations.7. The fundamental challenge facing humanity now is creating what Oliver calls a biophilic or ecophilic culture that is loving of other species and our home planet. This requires both psychological shifts and changes in how we design systems at all scales. The Amazon provides a powerful example of this, as recent LiDAR mapping has revealed that what appeared to be pristine wilderness was actually a vast tended garden created by indigenous civilizations who developed technologies like Amazonian dark earth through burning middens with various additives. These cultures understood how to be embedded in a web with other species while playing an important orchestrating role, offering a model for how humans might relate to other forms of life in our current era.

Hosted by Steven Van Belleghem, Peter Hinssen and Pascal Coppens, this episode takes you deep into Pascal's latest China inspiration tour — from Kimi's AI model beating Claude at a fraction of the cost and Xiaomi's radical 10x philosophy, to BrainCo's mind-controlled prosthetics and T-Cap Tech's flying taxis launching commercially next month. Peter unpacks Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince's Wall Street Journal bombshell on replacing 1,100 "measurers" with AI, and the explosive new buzzword in Silicon Valley: RSI, recursive self-improvement, sparked by Anthropic's own blog post. Steven shares how companionship has become the #1 use case for AI according to HBR's 2026 study, Google's Universal Cart play that puts a bouncer between brands and consumers, and why China's telcos are billing customers by the token. The episode closes with a nexxworks robots tour announcement for November, China's AI-generated micro drama explosion, and Europe's uncomfortable truth: it's not a regulation problem, it's a capital problem.

The next great wave of demand for artificial intelligence chips could come not from chatbots, but from humanoid robots caring for ageing populations. That is the prediction of Wendell Huang, chief financial officer of TSMC, the Taiwanese company that manufactures the world's most advanced semiconductors. As countries grapple with rapidly ageing societies, Huang sees robot carers and autonomous vehicles as major commercial frontiers beyond the current boom in AI data centres.TSMC is already struggling to keep pace with demand. Huang says the company is expanding as fast as it can across Taiwan, the United States, Japan and Germany, but new fabrication plants take two to three years to build and a further year or two to reach full production. Despite concerns about overinvestment, he rejects the idea that AI is a bubble, describing it as a “multi-year structural megatrend” backed by the financial strength of the world's biggest cloud and technology companies.The most advanced chips will continue to be ramped up in Taiwan, Huang says, because research and manufacturing teams need to work in close proximity. Recreating Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem in the US will take at least five to ten years, even though TSMC's Arizona lab has now matched the yield of its mother lab in Taiwan.Huang is also pointed about Elon Musk's stated ambition to manufacture chips. “There's no shortcut in semiconductor manufacturing,” he says, arguing that government subsidies alone cannot guarantee success in the foundry business. TSMC's advantage, he suggests, rests on technology, execution and nearly four decades of customer trust.Geopolitics remain unavoidable. TSMC sits at the centre of US-China tensions over technology and Taiwan, but Huang declines to be drawn on the politics, insisting the company builds capacity according to customer demand rather than government instruction. On export controls and reports of chips reaching China through third parties, he says TSMC has robust compliance systems, while acknowledging the limits of tracing products once they leave its facilities.Presenter: Suranjana Tewari Producer: Jaltson Akkanath Chummar& Olie D'AlbertansonPicture Courtesy of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, LTD3:10 The AI chip landscape 5:21 Is the AI boom a bubble? 7:28 Humanoid robots and the future of AI demand 8:14 Will AI replace jobs? 10:25 Will cutting-edge chips stay in Taiwan? 13:27 Huawei and Chinese chip ambitions 19:08 TSMC on receiving US government subsidies 19:27 Elon Musk's chip-making ambitions 20:45 Middle East, supply chains and stockpiling 21:35 Talent challenges and cultural adjustment in Arizona

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explores the rising trend of humanoid robot production and what it means for the future of work, healthcare, privacy, and everyday life. From robot half-marathons in Beijing, China, to humanoids entering factories, warehouses, hospitals, and homes, this episode asks: Are these machines helping us build a healthier relationship with technology? Who benefits when robots take on repetitive or dangerous work? What happens to privacy when robots enter personal spaces? And how can society make sure humanoid robots expand human well-being rather than quietly reshape life on terms we did not choose?

Tech companies are betting big on robots that look like humans and do human jobs. Why, robot? This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Gabriel Dunatov, engineered by David Tatasciore, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.

Hyundai placed a big bet on the future of humanoid robotics within its automotive manufacturing operations and it's reportedly starting to get impatient with the results so far. In 2021, Hyundai acquired a majority stake in Boston Dynamics for $1.1 billion in a deal designed to “leverage each other's respective strengths in manufacturing, logistics, construction and automation.” The plan was to create a robotics value chain, from robot component manufacturing to smart logistics solutions while supporting Boston Dynamics' continued product expansion.Last year, Hyundai promised to make a $21 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, a capital layout that would be used in part to purchase "tens of thousands of robots" from Boston Dynamics.But according to a new report from Semafor, the robot maker is still only making about four of its Atlas humanoid robots per month. At that rate, it would take more than 200 years to hit the 10,000 robot goal.#Hyundai, #BostonDynamics, #robotics, #automation, #humanoidrobots, #manufacturing, #AI, #industry40, #factoryautomation, #tesla, #toyota, #futureofwork, #smartfactory, #industrialrobots, #technews, #innovation, #roboticsrace, #supplychain, #advancedmanufacturing, #engineering

Humanoid Robots Are Still a Body Problem with Jerry Pratt (Persona AI) by Marwa ElDiwiny

Editors Gene Demaitre from The Robot Report and Sarah Wynn from Packaging OEM spent the week walking the aisles of MODEX 2026. In this episode, we learn about all of the interesting new products and automation solutions for packaging and warehouse logistics that they discovered this week at the show in Atlanta. MODEX Show Highlights - The Rise of Multi-Agent Orchestration: Discussion on the shift from isolated robotic pods to integrated systems where diverse robot types (AMRs, arms, and sorters) communicate seamlessly. - Humanoid Robots in Logistics: A recap of the buzz surrounding humanoid deployments in warehouses, moving beyond prototypes to real-world pilot tests for trailer unloading and case picking. - Heavy-Duty Automation: Analysis of new autonomous forklifts and reach trucks designed to handle pallet-scale movements in high-traffic distribution centers. - Software Over Hardware: A key takeaway from the show floor was the industry's focus on "orchestration software"—the "brain" that manages fleet interoperability across different manufacturers. Industry News & Strategic Shifts - Skild AI & Fetch Robotics: Analysis of Skild AI's strategic acquisition of Fetch Robotics' assets from Zebra, signaling a move to put advanced AI "brains" into proven industrial "bodies." - Gemini-Powered Spot: Insights into the Boston Dynamics and Google DeepMind partnership, which uses multimodal AI to give the Spot robot advanced semantic understanding and natural language control. ### Listen for a special discount code to save money on your registration to the 2026 Robotics Summit and Expo: https://www.roboticssummit.com/ – SPONSOR – Download the 2026 State of the Robotics Industry Report: https://www.therobotreport.com/state-of-robotics-industry-report-2026/

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell sits down with Juan Aparicio, Co-Founder and CEO of Reshape Automation, to explore how AI agents are transforming industrial companies and what it really takes to deploy them successfully. Juan shares his journey from Siemens to Silicon Valley startups and ultimately founding Reshape to tackle the gap between massive automation potential and low actual robot adoption in U.S. manufacturing. They dive into the realities of robotics-as-a-service, why so many automation projects end up in the “robot graveyard,” and the critical role of process expertise and vendor partnerships. The conversation also covers the hype and limitations of humanoid robots in factories, and why deterministic, domain-specific AI agents are far better suited than generic copilots for high-stakes industrial use cases. Highlights from their conversation include: Introduction to Juan and Reshape Automation (0:36)   How Reshape's AI Agents Are Designed, Deployed, and Improved (2:13)   Juan's Journey From Spain to Siemens in the U.S. (3:45)   Designing the “Factory Of The Future” at Siemens (7:04)   Founding Reshape Automation to Tackle the Automation Gap (9:43)   The Reality of Robotics as a Service For Manufacturers (11:12)   Why So Many Automation Projects Fail in Factories (16:26)   Empowering Local Vendors and Integrators With AI Agents (20:53)   The Hype and Limits of Humanoid Robots in Industry (22:22)   Where Humanoids Actually Make Sense in the Near Term (26:38)   Why Deterministic, Domain-Specific AI Beats Generic Copilots (31:00)   Ensuring 99.9% Reliability in Industrial AI Agents (35:48) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Humanoid robots can run, crawl, and sort objects in flashy demos. So why can't they reliably climb stairs or open doors? On this episode of The Quanta Podcast, host Samir Patel speaks with contributing writer John Pavlus on why robots still struggle with the messy physics of the real world. This topic was covered in a recent story for Quanta Magazine. Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the people behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

From a landmark lawsuit on social media addiction to a humanoid robot making an appearance at the White House, the internet moves so fast that if you blink, you’ve missed half of it. This week, we’re unpacking the three tech stories you need to be across. We look at the Los Angeles jury that found Meta and Google liable for millions in damages, marking a massive win in the fight against app features designed to hook minors. Plus, we’re stepping inside the White House where Melania Trump has welcomed a human-shaped AI guest to pitch the future of 'robot teachers'. And, why has OpenAI suddenly pulled the plug on its viral video-generation tool, Sora? We’re joined by futurist Mark Pesce to unpack it all.

Most people see a Ryder truck on the highway and think "trucking company." That's not wrong — but it's missing 100 million square feet of warehouse space and 2,000 autonomous robots.Gary Allen is the VP of Supply Chain Excellence at Ryder, and he stopped by the Everything is Logistics podcast booth at Manifest to talk tech selection, the build vs. buy debate, and what it actually takes to navigate a market with thousands of freight tech vendors when you're operating at this scale.Spoiler: it takes a team of 90 data engineers, a VC fund, and a willingness to evaluate 400+ companies before you commit to anything.——————————————IN THIS EPISODE——————————————□ Why asset ownership doesn't change the fundamental tech questions you need to answer first□ How Ryder evaluated 400+ warehouse automation companies in 3 years (and what makes the cut)□ Why Ryder runs ~30 different WMS systems across its network — and why that's a problem they're actively solving□ The Baton acquisition, Ryder Ventures VC fund, and why they decided to build what the market couldn't provide□ The "product mindset vs. project mindset" shift that changes everything about how you deploy tech□ Agentic AI real talk: what's actually working (call centers, document extraction, labor planning) vs. what's still early□ The warehouse automation ladder: AMRs → autonomous forklifts → storage/retrieval systems → humanoids□ What the timeline on lights-out warehouses might actually look likeWatch this episode on YouTube——————————————LINKS & RESOURCES——————————————□ Connect with Gary Allen on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/grallen1/□ Learn more about Ryder: ryder.com□ Ryder Ventures: https://www.ryder.com/en-us/ryderventuresPrevious Ryder episodes: □ VP of Supply Chain Ops Kristy Killingbeck□ Baton's Nate RobertFeedback?
