ROBOTICS

A robotics podcast, told straight

Unfiltered Robotics

Legged robots, hobby builds, and the unglamorous side of hardware — the conversations that happen in Discord channels at midnight, not in the papers.

[ 00 ] About the show

The name is a promise.

Unfiltered Robotics is a long-form conversation about building machines that move through the real world — legged locomotion, sim-to-real, manipulation, and the hobby builds that never make it into a paper.

Most robotics talk is polished for a conference stage or a funding round. This show is the other version: the failure modes, the duct tape, and the 2 a.m. Discord message that actually solved the problem.

It's for the people doing the work — working roboticists, hobbyists deep in a build, and founders shipping applied robotics.

What we get into

01

Legged locomotion

Quadrupeds, bipeds, and why walking is still genuinely hard.

02

Sim-to-real

What survives the jump from a clean simulation to a real motor.

03

Manipulation

Grippers, grasping, and the long tail of "just pick up the thing."

04

Garage builds

Hobby robots and hacked hardware. No budget, no PR team.

05

When it broke

The failure modes nobody publishes, told by the people who lived them.

06

Applied robotics

Founders shipping real machines into the messy, real world.

Come on the show.

Building something real in legged or applied robotics? If you'll talk about the parts that usually stay off the record, pitch yourself. We record remote, audio and video, about an hour.

The host

Hosted by Rakshith. He builds intelligence into machines — from humanoid robots to PodCut and GoBox — and started this show for the conversations he wanted to be in.
