Mike, Karthik, and Amy are talking about robots! Not just any robots: humanoid robots whose creators are betting will replace human labor in factories, the home, and in services. To do that, the robots will need to overcome human rejection – which might be an insurmountable challenge for the eerie human doppelgangers. Use cases, business models, and the overall weirdness of the human robots are all on the table in this episode.

The world needs more and better innovation to solve climate, waste, and health problems in an increasingly tumultuous and uncertain world – not just the latest app, gadget, or software, but real deep tech innovation in energy, manufacturing, agrifood, resources, and more.

In this podcast, sustainable innovation experts Mike Holman, Karthik Subramanian, and Amy Huras from Lux Research analyze the latest news and interview world-leading experts to navigate the technological, economic, political, and social trends that will determine what innovations succeed or fail.

The opinions expressed are those of the hosts and guests, and do not reflect the views of Lux Research.
