Co-evolving with Physical AI

On this episode of the Design Mind frogcast, we’re exploring what happens when AI moves from the screen into the physical world. To take this leap, we’re joined by John Robins, Head of Physical AI at frog.

John defines physical AI as intelligence that understands the physics of our world. Together, we journey through how real-world experiences could be set to evolve as AI gains the ability to move through space, share our environments and take actions alongside us.

Are we about to see physical AI at scale? And if so, where will we see early adoption? How can we navigate decisions around what to and what not to automate? How can we ensure we don’t lose touch with human aspects, such as emotion and ritual?
