Robots aren’t just science fiction; they’re shaping manufacturing, medicine, and even space exploration. In this episode, we break down the basics of robotics: how robots are designed, powered, and controlled, and the many ways they move (whether rolling, walking, flying, or swimming).

We’ll also look at how they perceive the world through sensors, make decisions with computational systems, and interact with humans in everyday life. Finally, we explore NVIDIA’s cutting-edge role in robotics and AI, from simulation tools to platforms like BioNeMo that push life sciences research forward. If you’ve ever wondered what really makes a robot tick, this is your beginner’s guide.
