You can now vibe code a robot: Standard Bots CEO Evan Beard

What if you could program an industrial robot just by talking to it?

That's what Standard Bots is making possible with a new generation of AI-powered robot training tools. In this episode of Humanoid (almost) Daily, I talk with Evan Beard, co-founder and CEO of Standard Bots, about making industrial robots as easy to use as an iPhone ... and why he believes this could help bring about the ChatGPT moment for physical AI.

Standard Bots is announcing three new capabilities that dramatically simplify robot deployment and training:

- Agent: Vibe code your robot using natural language. Tell it what you want to automate, and AI helps build the program.

- Locate: Train computer vision models to recognize and locate objects in seconds, without expensive custom engineering.

- Inspect: Working with Roboflow, train AI models to identify defects, scratches, and other quality issues.

We also discuss Showpath, a beta capability that allows robots to learn new tasks from just a few demonstrations. Evan explains why traditional industrial automation is so expensive and brittle, why most robots still require specialized engineers to program them, and how AI could make automation accessible to smaller businesses.

The bigger vision?

Building the Anthropic of the physical world — and making robots intelligent enough to adapt when real-world conditions change.

In this conversation:

- Why deploying industrial robots traditionally costs so much

- How natural-language programming changes robot automation

- Training robot vision models in seconds instead of weeks

- Teaching robots new tasks through demonstrations

- Why flexible AI-powered automation could deliver better ROI

- The possibility of a ChatGPT moment for robotics
