Robotics engineer @IntrinsicAI + podcaster on hiatus

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

Hey folks, a quick update: I'm pausing the Audrow Nash Podcast indefinitely—no plans to restart right now.

Life's been tough with our <1-year-old bringing joy (and chaos), my dad's sudden passing, and a messy probate. It's just too much to juggle.

Thanks for all the support and great convos. Hope to reconnect someday! 🙏

What if robots stopped doing just the simple stuff and started tackling the most important jobs on the planet?

I talk with Fred Parietti (@FredParietti), Co-founder and CEO of Multiply Labs (@multiplylabs), about how advanced robotics are reshaping the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing by automating high-value, life-saving tasks.

You'll like this interview if you’re curious about robotics, healthcare automation, or how technology can solve complex real-world problems.

@RishiJa44034873 @agilityrobotics @grok I did not know you could do this. We're in the future.

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

Why do so many robots have legs? Is the humanoid form just hype or does physics demand it?

I talk with Pras Velagapudi, CTO of Agility Robotics (@agilityrobotics), about how real-world engineering and practical constraints led their team to design a two-legged robot that’s built for actual work—not just to look cool.

You'll like this interview if you’re curious about why robot shapes matter, how automation meets the real world, or what it really takes to build a useful robot.

@bercankilic @agilityrobotics 👀👀👀

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

@Prathkum Hell yeah. I love this take. I think it's right.

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

@RaulAutomates @agilityrobotics It was interesting to me to see how the problems they're solving set their robot's shape. I didn't expect it was so pragmatic.

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

@TheHumanoidHub @agilityrobotics Hell yeah! Enjoy 🤖

How does @jonesbrannon from @alley_corp think about humanoids?

🔊 "That's a pretty low bar" 😂

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

@chris_j_paxton I think this is right.

It will also shift people into doing tasks that are harder to automate, of which there are plenty

Founder-market fit: Why does no one talk about this?

Here's my robotics search query if you're curious:

(robotics OR robot
OR (ai AND robotics) OR (ai AND robot) filter:blue_verified

[Audrow Nash @audrow]

It's hard not to doom scroll on X.

I'm trying X Pro with searches around robotics, rather than hoping the algorithm shows me robots.

Let's see if this is better 👀

What’s the real value of robotics today? Are we missing the biggest opportunities by chasing hype?

I talk with Stefan Seltz-Axmacher (@stefanesa), CEO & Co-Founder of Polymath Robotics (@polymathrobots), and Ilia Baranov (@IliaBaranov), Co-Founder & CTO, about why the most impactful robotics work isn’t always the flashiest—and how their modular autonomy stack is quietly transforming industries like mining, agriculture, and logistics.

You'll like this interview if you want to hear how robotics is actually solving labor shortages, why “boring” automation often creates the most value, and what it takes to build a sustainable robotics business in a world obsessed with viral demos.
