After years of development, I’m proud to introduce a new path for learning advanced robotics at Evodyne: the Emergence Track. In this program, selected participants will collaborate on building EvoDroid, an life-sized humanoid robot with advanced capabilities.
Why Humanoid?
There’s an ongoing societal debate around the utility of humanoid robots. To me, it is clear, humanoid robots are inevitable. We will see them deployed en-masse, across industries, transforming human productivity in ways we’re only beginning to imagine.
In fact, I believe the entire collective dream of humanity since ancient times has been moving, slowly but inexorably, toward this future. And while companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon may have captured their respective domains, humanoid robotics will not be dominated by any single player. Because of the field’s complexity, spanning skills, supply chains, and geopolitics, it will more resemble the automotive industry, with a diverse, global web of contributors and competitors.
A Future Shaped by Robotics
Looking ahead, I believe there will be two types of people:
Those who work somewhere in the manufacturing or supply-chain orbit of humanoid robotics
Those who use humanoid robots for some part of their livelihood or lifestyle
How does this relate to AI?
We can all see that the field of LLM based AI is a constantly moving target, and is cannibalizing traditional software development at an alarming rate.
However, non-abstract, matter based domains that touch upon the fundamental nature of reality itself, for example the intersection of physics and electrical engineering, will remain open to human ingenuity and innovation.
And yet, humanoid robots have been slow to arrive. Why?
The missing piece has long been the lack of an affordable, lightweight, high-torque actuator necessary for powering the major joints of a humanoid, like the hip, knee, and shoulder.
At Evodyne, we have developed that technology.
I’m excited to announce Evodyne's Quantum Flux Diffusion Actuator, a breakthrough that will power EvoDroid's joints for maximum performance..
Who Is Emergence Track For?
This is a serious undertaking. While experienced engineers and I will lead the mission, Evodyne's Research Lab will invite select, accomplished past students of our Genesis Track to join us. Participants will work with us on real-world deliverables within an active research and development environment.
