Soft Robotics Podcast
Hey! I am Marwa ElDiwiny, the host and creator of the Soft Robotics podcast. I started this podcast for a reason, one of them was to ask the questions I always wanted to ask when I was in the lab and reignite my curiosity by talking to interesting people.

What if batteries could store more energy, last longer, and be safer? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Humanoid robotics is increasingly bounded by battery life, which directly impacts uptime, operating costs, and ultimately unit economics. Heat is another challenge. Thermal management can add weight and complexity, making battery design even more important. I sat down with Joe Papp, co-founder of Anthro Energy, to talk about their approach to building batteries that can last longer, store more energy, and operate more safely.
