Researcher's Guide to Physical AI

A weekly technical briefing on robotics, embodied AI, and the physical world

Every week, a deep-yet-accessible 15-minute briefing on what happened in Physical AI: robot foundation models, humanoids, manipulation, simulation, world models, and the research behind them. Built for researchers and curious newcomers alike โ€” every episode gives you the background you need, then goes deep with concrete examples. Each episode ships with a long-form written deep dive.

Shubham Shrivastava

Shubham Shrivastava leads AI at Kodiak, where his team builds the world foundation models and camera-lidar-radar perception behind the first 24/7 driverless freight fleet โ€” real trucks, paying freight, no safety driver. He led perception at Ford's autonomous vehicle program before that. He reads the research here the way he reads it at work: not whether a result is impressive, but whether it survives contact with the road.
