In this episode, I spoke with Leo Chen, Director of US Operations at Engineered Arts. Leo took us on his personal journey—from a childhood fascination sparked by Star Wars to leading teams at groundbreaking robotics projects at Google and now Engineered Arts. We also got an exclusive look at Amica, Engineered Arts’ lifelike humanoid robot, designed to captivate audiences across entertainment, education, and elder care.
Key discussion points:
- Leo’s career path, from building robotic eels to launching giant balloon robots at Google.
- Why Engineered Arts specializes in realistic, interactive robots for human-centric applications.
- Ethical considerations in developing humanoid robots and AI integration.
- Leo’s candid perspective on the future of humanoids and the technical challenges ahead.
