336. Coming Soon: The Humanoid Revolution
Episode 336
Thursday, 11 June, 2026

Are humanoid robots moving from science fiction to reality? The answer is yes, and it may be faster than anyone predicted. Listen in as we sit down with David Kehr, President of Humanoid Robotics at Schaeffler, to discuss how the company is leveraging decades of expertise to power the next generation of physical AI. From deploying humanoids in manufacturing plants to advancing actuator technology and AI-powered simulation through NVIDIA Omniverse, this conversation dives into the real-world challenges and opportunities shaping the robotic revolution. Whether it’s scaling humanoids safely or the future of dexterous robotic hands, you’ll learn why automotive manufacturing expertise matters, and how humanoids could eventually move beyond factories into logistics, healthcare, and even the home. We’d love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org.
