About this listen
We’ve spent decades teaching humans how to program robots.
What if that’s the wrong approach?
In episode 2 of Robot Builders Club, Ali Afzal sits down with Lone Bekkeheien, founder of Marsilia Robotics, who’s building a new abstraction layer for robotics: one where humans talk to robots the same way we talk to other people.
Lone breaks down why today’s “collaborative” robots still aren’t truly collaborative, how natural language interfaces can unlock high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, and why software not hardware is the real bottleneck holding robotics back. Drawing from her background in cybernetics and robotics and her journey from Norway’s robotics ecosystem to San Francisco, she cuts through the hype around embodied AI, humanoids, and LLMs to explain what actually works in production.
If you care about making robots usable, scalable, and accessible beyond elite experts, this conversation will change how you think about human–robot collaboration.
