Live Webinar Interview

AI is everywhere in robotics, but how does it actually help?

Debunking Facts from Fiction in AI & Robotics with Tobias Claus

About the interview

AI has become the default story in robotics. Every roadmap, conference, or product demo is making bold claims about smarter, more autonomous systems.

But once you get past the demos, things start looking a bit different. Automations break in unforseen places, creating new problems. Systems don’t connect the way they should. And teams are now spending more time managing the tools than actually benefiting from them.

Tobias Claus sees this up close. Having worked across robotics partnerships and deployments, he hasn’t just heard the promises, he’s seeing what’s happening when teams try to make AI work in day-to-day operations.

In this conversation with William Delaney, we get into what’s actually going on behind the scenes and why so many teams are feeling stuck between what AI is supposed to do and what it actually does.
