When artificial intelligence meets robotics, something remarkable happens: machines stop just following instructions and start understanding purpose.

In this episode of Let’s Talk AI, Thomas Bustos sits down with Remi Fabre, a robotics engineer whose work bridges the gap between software intelligence and physical motion. Together, they unpack what it takes to design robots that don’t just move, but adapt, learn, and connect with the world around them.

From the elegance of inverse kinematics to the power of open-source collaboration, Rémi shares how robotics has evolved from mechanical systems into intelligent ecosystems. They also explore the emotional dimension of robotics and why people form bonds with machines, and how AI is amplifying that connection.

If you’ve ever wondered how intelligence takes shape in the real world, this episode reveals what’s next at the intersection of AI and robotics, where the digital brain meets the physical body.
