Can Robots Understand the World?
Can robots do more than follow instructions? We’re joined by Sathya Kamesh Bhethanabhotla, a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam’s VIS Lab, whose research focuses on causal foundation models for robotics and embodied systems. Together, we explore how robots learn through interaction, why cause and effect matter, and what separates predicting the world from truly understanding it.
