Hosted by industry veterans and AI pioneers, we go behind the scenes with the engineers, founders, and policy-makers who are defining the "craft" of intelligent systems. Each week, we move past the hype to tackle the hard problems: Interoperability: How do we build universal standards like the Robot Interoperability Framework (RIF) so machines can work together seamlessly?The Founder’s Journey: Candid conversations with our network of 1,000+ global founders on scaling robotics from prototype to production.Trust & Ethics: Navigating the "promise and peril" of autonomous systems in the real world.Global Standards: Insights from our chapters in North America, Europe, and Asia on the regulations shaping the future of physical AI.Whether you’re a robotics engineer, a tech investor, or a curious observer of the machine age, join us as we advance the craft of building the machines that will define the future of Industry.

    MassRobotics Announces New Head of Standards Development

    In the debut episode of the Intelligent Machine Guild Podcast, we explore a major development shaping the future of robotics and embodied AI: Daniel Theobald’s appointment as Head of Standards Development at MassRobotics. This milestone sets the stage for a deeper conversation about the urgent need for interoperability, governance, and communication standards in a rapidly expanding ecosystem of intelligent machines. We unpack the rise of physical AI—where software intelligence meets the real world—and examine both its massive economic potential and the risks that come with scaling autonomous systems across industries like logistics, healthcare, agriculture, and retail. With global IoT growth accelerating and predictions that up to 50% of warehouses could become human-optional by 2030, the stakes have never been higher. Drawing on Theobald’s work, including the development of the MassRobotics Interop Framework (ISO 21423), this episode highlights the push toward a universal “language” for machines—enabling robots from different manufacturers to collaborate seamlessly. We also dive into the mission and rapid rise of the Intelligent Machine Guild (IMG), a Silicon Valley-based network driving innovation through standards, education, and cross-industry collaboration. Finally, we zoom out to explore the broader transformation underway: how organizations like IMG and MassRobotics are not just supporting startups, but actively reshaping the robotics ecosystem—bridging gaps between academia, industry, and government, and redefining how intelligent machines integrate into society. This episode sets the foundation for the series, offering both context and vision for the future of robotics—and the people building it.
