Ken Goldberg (Why Don't We Have Better Robots Yet?) is an award-winning artist, roboticist, and engineering professor. Ken joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being born in Nigeria, growing up in rough and tumble City of Brotherly Love, and on how that taught him how to not take things lying down. Ken and Dax address the elephant panties in the room, how a course he took in 1981 began his trajectory in robotics and AI, and the tragic archetype of Pygmalion and the hubris of falling in love with your creation. Ken explains the Czechoslovakian etymology of the word “robot,” why don't we have better robots yet, and how he stays optimistic doing a job predicated on failure.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

This podcast interview features roboticist Ken Goldberg, who discusses the current state of robotics and how far away we are from a future where robots are commonplace in society. He argues that while recent advancements in artificial intelligence have produced impressive results, particularly in language processing, these advancements do not translate easily to robotics. Goldberg argues that the challenges of manipulating objects in the real world are far greater than those faced by AI systems in generating language. The interview also explores the limitations of robotics, including the difficulty of perceiving and controlling objects in complex environments, and the inherent uncertainties of physics. Goldberg touches on the potential impact of robotics on the job market, suggesting that while some jobs may be displaced, the overall demand for human workers will likely remain high. The interview concludes with a discussion of Goldberg's work as an artist, which seeks to use robots and art installations to explore the cultural and societal implications of technology.

"Perception is quite difficult with cameras: even if you have a stereo camera, you still can't really build a map of where everything is in space. It's just very difficult. And I know that sounds surprising, because humans are very good at this. In fact, even with one eye, we can navigate and we can clear the dinner table. But it seems that we're building in a lot of understanding and intuition about what's happening in the world and where objects are and how they behave. For robots, it's very difficult to get a perfectly accurate model of the world and where things are. So if you're going to go manipulate or grasp an object, a small error in that position will maybe have your robot crash into the object, a delicate wine glass, and probably break it. So the perception and the control are both problems." —Ken GoldbergIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Ken Goldberg — robotics professor at UC Berkeley — about the major research challenges still ahead before robots become broadly integrated into our homes and societies.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.They cover:Why training robots is harder than training large language models like ChatGPT.The biggest engineering challenges that still remain before robots can be widely useful in the real world.The sectors where Ken thinks robots will be most useful in the coming decades — like homecare, agriculture, and medicine.Whether we should be worried about robot labour affecting human employment.Recent breakthroughs in robotics, and what cutting-edge robots can do today.Ken's work as an artist, where he explores the complex relationship between humans and technology.And plenty more.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Luisa's intro (00:01:19)General purpose robots and the “robotics bubble” (00:03:11)How training robots is different than training large language models (00:14:01)What can robots do today?

Today we're joined by return guest Ken Goldberg, a professor at UC Berkeley and the chief scientist at Ambi Robotics. It's been a few years since our initial conversation with Ken, so we spent a bit of time talking through the progress that has been made in robotics in the time that has passed. We discuss Ken's recent work, including the paper Autonomously Untangling Long Cables, which won Best Systems Paper at the RSS conference earlier this year, including the complexity of the problem and why it is classified as a systems challenge, as well as the advancements in hardware that made solving this problem possible. We also explore Ken's thoughts on the push towards simulation by research entities and large tech companies, and the potential for causal modeling to find its way into robotics. Finally, we discuss the recent showcase of Optimus, Tesla, and Elon Musk's “humanoid” robot and how far we are from it being a viable piece of technology.

Emmy-nominated filmmaker, renowned public speaker, and writer Tiffany Shlain is no stranger to technology. Not only is she founder of the Webby Awards and co-founder of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, but much of her work interweaves humanity’s relationship to technology. Not to mention her husband, Ken Goldberg, is a roboticist at UC Berkeley. And part of technology’s power, Tiffany says, is our ability to turn it off. So, she does turn it off - her phone, her computer - every Saturday with her family, in what they call a “Technology Shabbat,” and they’ve been doing this for the past 10 years. She even wrote a book about it, called “24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week.” And let’s be real: turning off technology feels more important - and also harder to do - NOW more than ever before. In this episode of SHAMEBOOTH, Tiffany details the impact her childhood has on her current path and mothering approach, how “Tech Shabbats” have transformed her life, and why you might want to follow suit and do the same.

Part 1 features one-on-one on-site conversations with artists Alexander Reben and Meredith Tromble on art and AI. We conclude the episode with a fascinating conversation with UC Berkeley artist and professor, Ken Goldberg, on the "uncanny valley."Thank you CODAME for inviting us to cover this awesome event, and a special shoutout to Vanessa Chang, CODAME curator, for personally extending the invitation to us. You can listen to our interview with Vanessa Chang here.-About Alexander Reben-Alexander Reben is an artist and roboticist who explores humanity through the lens of art and technology. His work probes the inherently human nature of the artificial. Using tools such as artificial philosophy, synthetic psychology, perceptual manipulation and technological magic, he brings to light our inseparable evolutionary entanglement to invention which has unarguably shaped our way of being. This is done to not only help understand who we are, but to consider who we will become in our continued codevelopment with our artificial creations.Projects referred to in this episode: Boxie, Headgasmatron, and Pulse MachineLearn more at http://areben.com/-About Meredith Tromble-Meredith Tromble is a multimedia artist, writer, performer, and teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute. Learn more about Meredith at http://meredithtromble.net/-About Ken Goldberg-Ken Goldberg is an artist, inventor, and UC Berkeley Professor focusing on robotics. He was appointed the William S.
