Intro

Edward Mehr works where AI meets the anvil. The company he cofounded, Machina Labs, blends the latest advancements in robotics and AI to form metal into countless shapes for use in defense, aerospace, and more. The company’s applications accelerate design and innovation, enabling rapid iteration and production in days instead of the months required by conventional processes. NVIDIA AI Podcast host Noah Kravitz speaks with Mehr, CEO of Machina Labs, on how the company uses AI to develop the first-ever robotic blacksmith. Its Robotic Craftsman platform integrates seven-axis robots that can shape, scan, trim and drill a wide range of materials — all capabilities made possible through AI.
