GUEST: Ben Wolff, CEO of Palladyne AI
SUMMARY:
Andrew reconnects with Palladyne AI CEO Ben Wolff to trace software first built so a human could train a Sarcos exoskeleton by demonstration, then step out and leave it working autonomously. That same intelligence now powers a software-first company delivering real autonomy for industrial robots and drones. Wolff explains the difference between pre-programmed automation and machines that perceive, reason, and decide in real time, how nature-inspired swarm intelligence multiplies capability across military and commercial missions, and how low-code tools turn line workers into robot programmers overnight. Dual-use applications, labor shortages, and board-level questions about the future of work round out the conversation.
