In this episode, we explore the rapid evolution of robots and their growing roles in our society. We introduce Moxie, a robot designed to help children develop social skills, and discuss Amazon's massive robot workforce, now 750,000 strong. Our conversation spans from sidewalk to sky as we examine autonomous delivery systems. We consider society's attitudes towards these developments and ponder how humans will adapt to increased robot interactions. Finally, we touch on the economic impacts and begin to contemplate the future of work. Join us as we navigate a complex world where what was once science fiction is now our daily reality.
