Why this episode matters: Robotics is where AI meets the physical world, and the choice between open and closed software stacks will decide who can build on it. Liphardt's open-source bet is a live experiment in how embodied AI and AI companionship get democratised.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why OpenMind is building open-source software for robots
• Robots that converse, assist with tasks, and tutor mathematics
• The case for openness in AI companionship and embodied AI
• What a Stanford researcher-founder sees coming for robotics
